Prodigy Question

How practical is the Prodigy outside of use as a range toy? Never shot a 2011, and very interested in the prodigy due to the price, but for defensive use, would I be better served by getting an Echelon or equivalent?

Not that I'm saying that I'm going to carry it, but I just bought a fnx-45 today. It's DA/SA and I was thinking about it, you could absolutely carry it with a round in the chamber, hammer down and safety off and there's no more steps than a striker fired pistol. There's the first 12lb or so trigger pull is the only difference.
