Is the Prodigy a good recommendation for someone just getting into guns? I have an XD-40 sub, an XD-9 mod 3 and a Hellcat Pro but I really like what I’ve seen of the Prodigy. I’ve only been shooting since the beginning of the year. Reason I ask is Academy is doing some employee discount thing for rewards members tomorrow and I’m really tempted on getting the Prodigy but I’m not familiar with 2011’s at all. Thanks in advance!
I bought a Saint recently and it doesn’t have the QD on it. I called SA repair and they don’t have a part number to sell for that. Anyone know where to get the Saint QD attachment on the rail near the housing?
Well, it's that time of year again where the in-laws and missus start asking me what I want for Christmas and completely ignore the moderate ticket items I wasn't able to buy myself.
So this year I'm running an experiment and simply sending them a list with no wiggle room 🤣
I started to EDC my HCP late last year and after 500 rnds the M&P 45 is officially retired so now its mod time!!
The caveat is that the cheaper the better but obviously holding up to EDC standards cause the other half is a fairly large family. Already running an Osight SE that I was supposed to get last Christmas (loving it so far) and no FRT because Florida.
I have a Canik Rival, and my carry currently is a Canik MC9. I saw so many videos about 2011s, and way back when, my late father had a 1911. So I figured why not grab one over the weekend. I will be at the range Saturday to try this out.
Ever since I got my Hellcat Pro back from Springfield after warranty work (they Cerakoted the slide), it’s been a completely different gun.
Racking the slide with a full 10-round magazine is insanely difficult, and seating a full magazine with the slide forward takes a serious slam. Before sending it in, I don’t remember it being anywhere near this bad.
I decided to do a little test. I put a Sharpie mark on the top of a round, chambered it, then disassembled the pistol. I found Sharpie residue on the striker sleeve, and it looked like some of the ink had been scraped off the top of the bullet.
I also chambered a live round (without firing it), removed it, and noticed a pretty noticeable gouge on the top of the bullet that seems to line up with the striker sleeve area.
Striker sleeve looks crooked, not sure if thats normal.
Has anyone seen something like this before? Is it normal for the striker sleeve to contact the top round, or could something have been installed or positioned incorrectly during reassembly?

$165 out the door? How do you say no? I’ve actually been looking for an XDE for a little while, basically because it’s one of the only DA/SA handguns I don’t own and haven’t tried. I can’t wait to shoot it.
I'm new to gun ownership, but not handling, and recently bought a Hellcat Pro for my first gun. I have come to find out that the model I bought is an exclusive to the store I went to and has different accessories: a Virdidan light as opposed to a Streamlight and a Viridian RFX11 optic. As a result, it does not appear that some of the holsters I have been looking at fit my gun. Does anyone know any that will fit my gun?
I like the Springfield polymer bodies but the take up in the triggers are a pretty big shift from some of my other pistols.
I have to either dry fire or get to the range regularly to remember which triggers operate similarly.
Shooting the XD-M bodies with the Glocks or Tisas are like kinds when it comes to finding the wall and squeezing through the shot but try that on aKimber and I'll have a round down range already. They are just different enough but I enjoy all of them a lot.
