Quickly becoming my favorite channel. Could you possibly do a tutorial video in the future on how to tune the prodigy? I’d love to absorb and use some of your wisdom. Keep it up man!
I have a website Skips Guns.com where u can order the stuff and I install and test everything not sure I wana give my info out for free on video just yet. This feeds my family for now lol but a personal convo I can help u over on IG pm me
Mine is coming your way Scott. I'm confident that you will make it run great and silky smooth. I agree with you on other mounting solutions though because I think I will opt for the MRO. Great job and great channel.
@@kennys223 “prevents the slide from battering the frame during recoil by sandwiching a 1/10" thick poly fiber buffer between the slide and frame contact areas” according to Wilson Combat. I notice it reduces felt recoil a bit vs not having one installed.
hey Skip, I fixed my prodigy mags by lightly sanding with 1000 grit sandpaper the inside feed lips of the mags and then polishing that area. I found the issue as I ordered a couple Atlas Gunworks Mags and it ran flawless with those but kept hanging up on the SA/Duramag mags. After sanding and polishing it runs perfect with those now too.
I'm running my 4.25 with a 15lb hammer spring, Dawson yellow recoil spring and Dawson xp firing pin spring. Shot 150 rounds today and runs great! Total tack driver!
Interesting to see someone that shoots both eyes open looing like he has the same issue as I do. Everytime I shoot 25 yards and beyond with irons I notice my front sight flopping left and right. On top of that the impacts tend to drift left. I figured out why because I was mentally switching between eyes to see the target and the front sight. What makes things worse is even when I force my left eye to shut I am still doing it because I am mentally traying to look at the target with my left eye that is closed because I know it is there. I am wondering if this is a byproduct of using an ACOG for CQB?
@@SkipsGunz I'm waiting on the 2.0 version letting SA do what's right. I have a RIA TAC ULTRA 9mm had the slide cut for an optic and DLC coated. 4k RDS thru it, never a FTF, fte, shoots lights out under 1k all in... I want the Prodigy but I can wait
Sportsman has Prodigy's for $1450.... prices from your website add's another $700. Pop on a red dot (my choice) and I will have an a$$ kick'n 2011!! Can't wait to see your Prodigy Build concept. Caleb says it... becoming a favorite channel. Good job Skippy!!!
So cause I don’t lie it was a dead rd I shoot reman ammo in the videos because I’m poor lol and the primer didn’t go off but instead of showing it and causing anyone to think it was the gun I edited it out but good catch
IT is actually cheaper now like 1299.00 i am going to order one next week and get it in april the moment it is in my hands i am going to send it off to you for upgrades.
I’ve got a 4.25” Prodigy. Every week I run 2 courses of fire in PPC, that’s 120 rounds a week. I’m several weeks in and 0 issues, zero malfunctions. I’ve done nothing to the gun, but clean and oil. It’s a very smooth and flat shooter.
Please buy staccato mags and save all of these sweet cheap Springfield Duramags for me! People who say these Springfield mags are crap I don’t understand what they are saying ignorance is no excuse for the Gun world. Their greats mags at half the price of the competition. I’ve got 10 4 17s and 6 21s and not an issue with any of them.
I’ve got two headed to him and once the colors get stocked up and we head out for vacation (so I can stand the wait time) I’m getting mine murdered (all black) - but that bronze sounds like some spartan stuff right there
I just cant see spending 14-1500 on a pistol only to have to spend another 400-500 to get it to run reliable. I do think it checks off a lot of things on my wants list.
@@cesarsaavedra3095 exactly what I was thinking… if you are having trouble, send it back to Springfield and they will make sure it is running 100% before returning it to you
@@SkipsGunz Fair enough. Here are the questions. Do you have an FFL? Brick and mortor? Background? Business license, are you insured? Curious before I send my gun in to a random dude on YT and IG.
Imagine buying a $1500-$1600 dollar pistol and then sending it off to get several hundred dollars of aftermarket upgrades to make it run well. I’d rather just use that money and get an entry level staccato
Imagine that then u would have a iron site entry level Staccatto and be sending it off to get $500 worth of optic cuts instead. Learn the prices b4 trying to write negative reviews
@@SkipsGunz I have a staccato P in my cart and it’s 2300 w/ an optic w cut. Buying a $1600 Springfield, sending it some guy to add other gun parts for $300-$500 and finally getting it back to have a subpar staccato is crazy
That’s great now go spend 160 on the plate and 300 on the dot. While the hundreds of people thank this moron for helping them for $150 to $300 to achieve the same thing
Totally fine there’s just different strokes for different folks. I will promise u try one of my builds u will consider canceling that order nd think about the Prodigy in its upgraded form there actually Pretty nice
That is a fact. My 17 had burrs on the inside. My 20 was good. But, I did a little sanding with 1000 grit wet and dry sandpaper and finished it with a little flitz to polish it all. You can tell the difference because the ammunition doesn't get hung up. The other option I went with was buying the Staccato 17 round magazine because I wanted 3 mags anyway. Skip has my Prodigy now and with his prices, you will end up with a great gun that can compete with a Staccato. He knows his shit guys and gals.
Hey scott, I messaged you on Instagram about doing some work on my prodigy. I was going to email you as well but can't find your email info. Would love to hear back from you man thank you

Absolutely ready for u
great video, love to see more shooting from you, and it is nice to see those beautiful custom handguns in real action.
I bought my 4.25" Prodigy when it first came out. I've had zero problems with over 600 rounds through it. I love shooting it.
I’ve 1k rounds through mine, no issues. I do use a Wilson Combat Shok-Buff recoil pad and no issues. Enjoy the series you’re producing!
What’s the benefit of the Shok-buff recoil pad?

Quick question once the upgrades to the prodigy ds trigger job etc... we're their upcupps failure to feed etc...after.
What recoil spring lbs and main spring are you puting on this build.?
Great video

Talking my language get after it
Ufff im glad I found this channel . I’m gonna send mine in.
Ready when u are
This pistol is starting to get dialed in. Well done!
This is a different customers gun there all getting good Iv gota good format to fix the 4.25 atleast for now with a 5” coming

Nice
What would be the fix for the gas problem from the LC indicator? New barrel or could that hole be filled?
A glasses cleaner in your bag
Do you have an FFL? Brick and mortor? Background?
the 4.25 comes from springfield with a 13 lb recoil spring.
What's all in $ for parts and labor at this point? Plus the 1500 purchase price. Good to see you got it run. Plus MBX, Staccato or Atlas mags ..
I gota site to pick parts you can definitely get around spending a lot if u want.

Using Staccato mags, have had zero issues with the 5” in almost 1000 rounds
does the taran taxtical classic magwell fit on the prodigy ?
With fitting I can fit most magwells
Yep I’m sending you two
Ready
I definitely have to get up with you about that egw kit .. I’m waiting on my prodigy to ship in and we can do business buddy
Ready when u are www.SkipsGuns.com
What Staccato mags will run in the Prodigy
17 and up
Sportsman has Prodigy's for $1450.... prices from your website add's another $700. Pop on a red dot (my choice) and I will have an a$$ kick'n 2011!! Can't wait to see your Prodigy Build concept. Caleb says it... becoming a favorite channel. Good job Skippy!!!
I really appreciate it
At that price you could just get a Staccato
Save your money and buy a Staccato.
Yeah save your money
What Atlas mag do I need to buy from you that is the same as the 17 round duramag?
140mm is gona be the 17 size but hold 21 because the base plate adds rds
Go on my site also to see some prices I’m still adding though skipsguns.com/
after I get one I'll be contacting you skip
Looking foward to it
What is the prodigy stock mainspring weight?
To much lol
do you think its worth it to get the prodigy and upgrade it or just go with a bul 4.25
I really like prodigy
@@SkipsGunz well i said screw it and bought a staccato P lol
Good afternoon Sir , how do I get in touch with you. I have a question about the EGW Ignition KIT
Text me 19147152016
So what spring lbs you running on it.?
Need help, still need an online source with the 4.25 prodigy in stock !! What do you know ??
Gunbroker
Refresh rate is sucks…once the plates come out definitely need a better dot. Save money and buy the iron sight version and wait for the plates.
the prodigy is nice for the price but for that price maybe a couple hundred more depending on the model, you can get a bul sas and that gun is sick
Always something else Iv learned
What happened at the 345- 350 u edited the video did the gun malfunction during that 5rnd test

@@SkipsGunz Dang. Might be worth getting the “Better Prodigy” package. I don’t like how tight my chamber is.

An all bronze would kick ass .
I’ve got two headed to him and once the colors get stocked up and we head out for vacation (so I can stand the wait time) I’m getting mine murdered (all black) - but that bronze sounds like some spartan stuff right there
Basic staccato is 1999.00 1500 for prodigy 60 for mag and parts and labor you will be over what a staccato c2 will be.
And when ur done you’ll have something with better internals trigger that fits your hand and a dot setup. For $340 dollars so less then 1999

Right but still with mim internals oversprung springs and safteys that come apart or getit replaced with top notch parts and have a great gun
So buy pvd do you mean DLC of do you mean some kind of titanium nitride?
No I mean pvd if u go on skips Guns il have that on there with pics very soon
@@SkipsGunz ok 👍 thx
Why was there a Prodigy in a 2011 bag???
Because I need to carry the guns down to my range
