I'm just a hack with a file that likes to tinker.  And prefers to work on my own guns (with-in reason).  As a lefty, knowing how to fit an ambi is a must.  But I'll wait for the new Staccato ambi I ordered and see how that fits.  It's not worth tinkering with the SA ambi.

Same here and I had the same issue eventually with my ambi-safety.  It was somewhere around the 1500 round mark when it started loosening up, but I had taken the gun completely apart multiple times replacing things 1-2 items at a time.  Like a dummy I attempted to tighten the groove in the ambi-side without the tongue of the left side safety and mine snapped.  I put in a Wilson Bullet Proof High-Ride and like it.  The best best would be an EGW HD with an extended STI/2011 width hammer pin that locks into a recess on the right side to ensure it can't wiggle free.

$145 for an ambi-safety is a little steep though.  I paid less than $50 for the Wilson.

Thanks.  That's the kind I usually run in my single stacks.  I'm cheap and usually buy the Kimbers.  I wasn't sure if the 2011's use a regular 1911 safety (why I ordered the Staccato).

I ordered a sheet from Talon Grip and just cut a piece to fit that area.  Did one on my C2 also.  I'm not real sure why that's a popular place to leave smooth?  It would seem on a draw that's the first place your hand would hit?  Anyway, the Talon tape isn't too rough but sticks to your skin fairly well.  

It's the granulate.

IDK anything about the safety but since you have fitted a nice trigger on yours I bet you know the fix.  Mine is a 4.25" also.

Nice. I have a giant roll of stair tread tape from Lowes that I use/used on 1911's that don't have checkering on the front strap. May have to try to use some there, though I never make things as clean as some people on the webs.

Well, they do.  BUT, if you want to be able to use the captured design you'll need the longer EGW pin for 2011/wide-body frames.  They sell the pin separately, so the Kimber pinned version may work.  I've never seen one in hand before but it may work so long as the portion of the STI hammer pin that protrudes from the right side of the frame will fit into the recess in the right/ambi side of the Kimber safety.  Considering it has to be small enough to fit through the frame, you'd think they'd either be the same or close enough that you could make it work.

Assuming you are not limp wristing it, it’s usually too little extractor tension that caused failures to extract.

If the extractor had too much tension it would have issues feeding rounds as they wouldn’t be able to slide up from under the extractor hook.

It’s possibly it could be a slightly out of spec chamber as well. Even though a round feeds into the chamber, if it’s a little on the tight end the small amount of case expansion from firing the round could make it stick.

If your rounds are feeding into the chamber without issue I would tighten the extractor and test it. If you are still having problems I’d send it to Springfield to have the chamber checked since so many have been out of spec.

How to Tune a 1911 Extractor by Wilson Combat


This was helpful for me.
I went through this procedure before the first range trip and never had extraction issues, just a few failures to fully go into battery in the beginning.

Looks like I get to do a deep dive in mine.  I put a new 19 lb main in mine and went out for a test fire. Got about 25 rounds in and the trigger locked up, hammer cocked.  Pulled the MSH/sear spring and was able to get the hammer down but the grip safety is stuck in the Depressed position.  I probably did something wrong reassembling after the new MS, but it passed basic function test and worked for a bit.

It could be the sear spring if it was installed incorrectly. If you missed the ledge on the sear it could get wedged between the sear/disconnector and grip safety.



Short of that it could be debris that somehow got in the ignition system area. Or, and hopefully not, something broken on one of the MIM parts.

I’ll figure it out tonight.  The sear spring seemed to be in correctly, took two tries to get it right.
And since I was out there with a bag of ammo and a dead gun, I decided to shoot my carry gun, 365XL.  The HSTs were fine, but that damn Mcarbo spring set gave me light strikes on factory ball.
Now I get to gut that one out too.  I’m putting all the factory springs back in there.

I think something broke in the prodigy, odd the grip safe is stuck down with the sear spring removed.

Pro tip, I use the mainspring housing to keep the sear springs in place while I put the safety and grip safety back in the gun. Just slide it in about halfway, and it won’t budge. Not saying you don’t already know this, but perhaps a 1911 noob like myself might find it useful.

Just another pro tip, the grip safety is cut to where it can be removed/installed with the mainspring housing in place. So you can install the mainspring housing and then the grip safety.

Did you swap out the trigger?  I had to refit my grip safety after I added the Vario trigger.  SA uses a funky design with a gradual ledge, vs a squared cut.  If you lock the slide back or take it off, you can see how the trigger bar and grip safety interact.  Your trigger bar may have gotten stuck on the grip safety engagement some how?

That’s the factory trigger in there.

Nothing looks broken.  Grip S still would not swing out, so I pulled the safety’s.  I’m no gun plumber but nothing looks wrong.
I’ll re assemble tomorrow and check it again.  

I do wonder if the trigger over travel set screw came out of adjustment. I’ve not touched it, and can’t till I get the proper hex key.  First problem at the range was the hammer wouldn’t drop with a trigger pull.

Anyone know what size that set screw is?

Is that a marred portion on the hammer strut? If so, it looks like it was binding on the grip safety. That could have happened if you didn’t get the strut centered in the cup/recess in the mainspring housing cap.

Probably.  My issue had to be from my botched reassembly, I bet I didn’t get the sear spring in that retention notch.  

It will go together much easier the ways suggested.

There are 10+ options for the 4.25” but you have to select an optic and light option regardless of whether you’ll use an optic because only rds with light options are available right now.

Use their holster finder on their website and select the SA 4.25” Prodigy, Trijicon RMR, and Surefire X300U and you’ll see what’s available.

The M&P mod was more for the 5” Prodigy because there aren’t any options from Safariland for that model. RDR Gear makes modded holsters but they are expensive. You are paying full MSRP for the holster plus the cost they add in for the mod work.

I’m not certain, but I believe in the case of RDR Gear, they find a holster model that is close and use a heat gun to reshape the holster to fit whatever they are modifying it for.

So in your case, you’d find the M&P holster that is the same overall length as the Prodigy 4.25” or a hair longer and then use a heat gun to soften the holster and then holster your gun to form fit it. You can’t use the heat gun for too long or you risk damaging the holster. So it’s a little heat and then attempt to holster. Repeat the process until the gun fits and then leave it there for a few minutes for the holster to completely harden back up.

In the case of ALS holsters, RDR Gear may remove the ALS locking mechanism during the heating/remolding process to keep from damaging it.

Since you have a 4.25” holster I would just buy one of the holsters Safariland says will fit. Unless you have a Safariland holster already that you are willing to attempt to mod.

It uses 4.1” Staccato holsters. I used the holster finder and put in my Prodigy and this is what I received. Fits perfectly, but it’s just a Staccato holster.

Is there anything else you would all recommend to replace more as a quality of life not really a need? Also does it take the same grip as staccato? I’ve seen it’s a little different but would they work?

Polish, lube, shoot. Grip is mostly the same as gen1 STI.

As posted above this, only original/Gen1 STI patterned frames will work. There are several options available but they are expensive at around $300 for polymer and $500 for aluminum.

The parts that make using the Prodigy more convenient for me are a tool-less guide rod, a slide stop with a better/bigger lobe protrusion (STI or 10-8), and a trigger that fits you better if the stock isn’t the best for your hand size and/or trigger finger length.
