Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 03RN: @Evil_ed There's a way to hammer the safety which widens it just enough you can salvage it. I'll try to find a better explanation. Yeah you can probably peen a ridge into it, so long as the safety isn't a cast or mim part - and that would probably do it, to be honest. I just don't know that I have a surface with enough compound angles on it to actually hold the safety in place while I wack on it  Either way - the Ed Brown safety showed up, I found I had to take off some material off the TOP of the lug in order for it to not interfere with the hammer when it gets cocked...I don't know if that's a thing with the CMC kit's hammer (probably) or what. Took me a bit to figure out where that hitch on cocking was coming from though. I really like the Ed Brown ambi...it's small enough where my trigger finger won't accidentally press up on the right paddle, and the rear of it is nicely beveled on both sides. |

I just got an Ed Brown machined Tactical width ambi for a 1911 project. Very impressed with it. Which width did you go with? |

Whatever the one that Brownells had
It's either "Tactical" or "Carry" width, not sure offhand

My DSC gunworks customized prodigy is insane. Feels like a 22.
I do hate the huge ambi safety.

It's on the thinner side so I'm pretty sure it's the "carry" revision

Dunno. Either way this thing rocks. It's my new go-to gun for non carry purposes. The full sized M&P sits in the safe now. |

I've been on the fence about one. That is, until I saw that they just introduced the Prodigy Comp model. Damn damn damn.

Got mine back from repair and took it out today. Failures to go into battery and light primer strikes abound. I’m done with this thing.
Tisas makes a better pistol for less money. |

@sagillman
Who did the port on yours? For any others, I'm waffling between inline ports and a chunk type port. Is one better than the other at controlling muzzle rise or softening recoil (not that recoil is high)? |

Is one better than the other at controlling muzzle rise or softening recoil (not that recoil is high)? @blwngazkit Dave at DSC did the work. The way I figured it, is the most effective muzzle brakes have large ports. I think it’s a trade-off though, because the large ports are louder. |

Most of what I’ve seen from testing shows that ports work better at reducing muzzle climb.
They also have an edge over add-on comps for holster options and they generally are more reliable with a wider range of ammo and springs. I have Monsoon Tactical’s Lucky 7’s in my 5” Prodigy. They don’t do a lot because the gun doesn’t move much in the first place. It’s more obvious shooting higher powered ammo. I did my ammo testing between my ported Prodigy and a stock 5” Prodigy. Here’s just one test between ports and comps:  Ported Barrel vs Thread-On Compensator - Which Shoots Flatter or Softer? |

Anyone think they'll do a compact carry version? Seems like a logical next step, no?
