This is probably a dumb question which likely means it has already been asked but: can Prodigy slide go on a 9 mm 1911? I mean, 1911 and 2011 slides are the same, right?
Doesn't read posts longer than two paragraphs.
My Buzzard is a regular Caspian slide on a STI receiver.

I guess I forgot to mention this.
I talked very briefly with the team from US Duty Gear at SHOT 2023. They told me they are working on specific Prodigy holsters. Holsters will be available for both 4.25 and 5.0 models with light and red dot options, etc.
I forget now which department--Riverside, maybe?--had requested test holsters for the 5" gun.

A few random thoughts this morning.
When 2011s were strictly competition guns, and briefly special operations guns, I never heard "reliable" and "2011" in the same sentence.
Back in the day, if you shot a single stack 1911 with ball ammo it would run. If you wanted more than that, it cost time and money. Single stacks today still seem to need work, but for different reasons.
I was reading an article about Winchester Model 12s. It took more than two years to build the production line, and each part was inspected separately, then the gun was inspected as it was put together. No company today will do that. I believe that they've done the math on QC vs. return/repair, and found the latter to be cheaper.

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...

I know one department that told US Duty Gear they want production 5” dot/light holsters for several of their people...
Now if my 5” order would just come in... I have the plate and optic and figure US Duty Gear will have the holster (and I have a Blackhawk T-Series which I understand fits).
As a data point: One of our guys got a 4.25” Prodigy recently and immediately switched to a Wilson 12lb (Commander-length) spring. He had some feed issues that seemed to completely disappear when he used Staccato mags. I’d probably go a smidge heavier on the recoil spring but that’s theoretical.
I plan on going straight to a 13lb recoil spring and have a Dawson tool-less guide rod for my 5” as well.
