Scope note: SKU PH9119AOS, the 5 in black Prodigy, current. Springfield catalogues 36 Prodigy SKUs and this is the plain one: the 4.25 in and 3.5 in barrel lengths, the Comp models, Coyote Brown, the HEX Dragonfly optic bundles, the low-capacity configurations and the FirstLine listings are all separate under the base-model rule. The discontinued flag was checked, as the Hellcat record's experience requires — this SKU is current. THE WEIGHT FIELD DIFFERS FROM THE OTHER TWO SPRINGFIELD RECORDS, AND THAT IS THE NORMALIZED RULE WORKING RATHER THAN AN INCONSISTENCY. The Echelon and Hellcat publish "23.9 oz w/ Flush Mag" and "18.3 oz w/ Flush Mag", stating that a magazine is fitted, so both sit in weightWithEmptyMagazine. The Prodigy publishes a bare "33 oz" with no mention of a magazine at all, which is the other side of the discriminating question settled on 2026-08-12, so it sits in weightUnloaded with the magazine state recorded as unstated. Same maker, same page template, different wording, different field — the test is applied, not the answer. Height is bare "5.5"" for the same reason and carries the same basis note, where the Echelon and Hellcat qualify theirs by magazine type. Overall width is unrecorded: Springfield publishes none for this model, not even the Grip Width it gives for the Echelon and Hellcat, so the dimensions row names the missing axis. All three action axes are unset, consistent with the Echelon, Hellcat and Kuna. The 55-page 1911 DS manual names a Delta Hammer and a 1911-A1 Hammer Strut in its parts lists and explains that the safety cannot be engaged unless the hammer is cocked — components and a manual of arms, not a classification — and it contains no specification table and no occurrence of "single action", "semi-automatic" or "recoil operated". A 1911 is a single-action, short-recoil, hammer-fired pistol and Springfield states none of the three, so none is recorded; this is the fourth Springfield record in a row where the maker classifies nothing. Year introduced comes from Springfield's dated launch release, GENESEO, ILL. (09/01/22), which announces the Prodigy as "the first offering in the new 1911 DS double-stack line" — which is also why the family is recorded as 1911 DS, Springfield's own series name, rather than Prodigy. Note one wording difference between sources that is NOT recorded: the launch release describes "raised fiber-optic front/u-notch rear sights" plus an ambidextrous safety and Picatinny rail, while the product page's own sight row reads "Fiber Optic Front, Black Serrated Rear". The controls row follows the product page, which is the record's default source; the release's u-notch wording and its safety and rail details are left out rather than blended across two sources under one footnote. Warranty is unrecorded, as on the Echelon, Hellcat and Kuna: Springfield's warranty text is not in the Inertia payload that does yield its manuals. Springfield publishes imperial only, so every metric value here is converted and flagged. Also published and unrecorded for want of a schema field: a forged stainless match-grade bull barrel with a 1:16 twist, a forged carbon steel frame and slide in black Cerakote, polymer grips, a two-piece full-length guide rod, and the $1,530 MSRP.

Verification boundary: Published technical data are rounded, may not reflect manufacturing tolerances, and may change without notice. MSRP is not recorded: most cited product pages do publish a price, but it changes without notice and independently of the specification, so this directory has no field for it and the row stays blank rather than carrying a figure that would silently go stale. Values marked ≈ were converted by this directory from the unit system the source published; the unmarked figure in the same row is the published one.

Evidence tiers backing this record: Manufacturer. Unmarked values come from manufacturer documentation; any value drawn from a lower tier is labeled inline with that tier. Where two sources disagreed, the higher tier was recorded and the disagreement noted.
