Very pleased with mine as well so far. I have about 600 rounds of mixed ammo through it, and the only thing it didn't like was some Fiochhi 147gr FMJ. Everything else it's eaten just fine and it runs great. Stupid accurate, too. I have the Commander model as well and I haven't heard of anyone having issues with it. Seems like some have been reporting issues with the 5", but a lot of that seems taken care of by a good cleaning/lube, a bit of a break-in period, and maybe a stronger recoil spring. I think at least a few 'reviewers' got their hands on the Prodigy who don't have much 1911/2011 experience.

I agree completely! I thought the exact same when I heard about others having issues. It's a 1911! You can't just take it out the box and run it dry. Clean it, grease it, then run it! As you stated.... its stupid accurate!

How do you like the X95? I have a Sar and love it for being able to make it lefty. I have an upgraded trigger pack in it, as well as ambi safety and folding charging handle.

I've got the Sig Romeo 5 XDR predator green dot with Juliet 4 magnifier.

That looks like a well-loved Archon. Quite an interesting pistol.

Yea, its a bittersweet affair. The striker broke off at 2200ish rounds and had to go back to Archon / Salient...and that began the bitter portion of owning a boutique firearm from a smaller shop. Zero aftermarket support, and the turnaround time was extreme imo.. 6+mo. Horrible comms, no updates on status, at one point I thought it was just gone into the abyss... I didnt even get a heads up it was mailed, it just showed up on my doorstep one day. Im very comfortable with Glocks, I can install / tear down every aspect of that pistol and appreciate the aftermarket support.

I was following the Arsenal Strike One when it came out, wanted one, then they seemed to disappear and the replacement doubled in price. What happened? I never really followed up.

That sucks. 2200 rounds is not that many rounds. I've got 2k through my Steyr M9-A1 and no failures, breakages, anything. I've never had to deal with their CS though.

I had an M9-A1 as well; I loved how that pistol pointed, I just never got accustomed to the triangle at distance without my glasses on.

Yeah the sights are a love them or hate them thing. For my family, every loves them and the gun. Very low recoil. After shooting mine along with a bunch of other guns, my cousin bought one. My sister bought the A2 MF model. I'm hoping they come out with an S9-A2. I really love the feel and trigger. I may put a red dot on my M9.

I am nearly blind without my glasses on, so that's not an issue. Glasses are the first thing I grab when something goes bump in the night.
