    I love the grip on my prodigy and I’m looking at one of these LFAs and this will probably be one of my first mods to it just because it’s a good module that won’t break the bank!

    Did you get the mainspring housing and grip safety from spring field when you called? I somehow missed this part got the grip module and when to put it together just to find I couldn't run the mainspring housing and grip safety from the Apollo.

    @Average_Joe_Arms ... Thanks for the tip about the Prodigy grip! I didn't know that Springfield would sell the grip separately. I got one for my Apollo, and WoW, major difference. The Prodigy grip worked out excellent...thanks again!

    Where on the trigger area did you file down? I couldn't get trigger to feel right so went back to LFA grip. I tried buying Prodigy trigger, but they won't sell those parts. May try again, Prodigy grip felt way better than LFA's. I also have compact, which is good as well. I'm hoping they do a DS 45 or 10mm soon. Keep up the good work!!!!

    • @Average_Joe_Arms

      @Average_Joe_Arms yep, can confirm now, it doesn't fit. I will order the springfield one. I did run into another issue though. With the Prodigy grip the magazine binds. The front of the magazine hits the very front of the of the frame. Gotta work some things out apparently 😅

      Main spring housing. Definitely. You can make your grip safety work. I did with mine, but I had to fit it a little bit of filing here. And there, but if I had it to do over again, I would buy the grip safety from springfield. That's all you need
