DISCLAIMER:
I do not encourage or advise anyone watching this video to modify their firearm. I am NOT a professional gunsmith! If you are not 100% confident in your ability to modify gun components, DO NOT even attempt it! A small change in the angle of the front of a trigger or hammer can result in a completely unsafe firearm! When in doubt, always seek out a professional gunsmith!

I go through every single part of the new Springfield DS Prodigy. This video is extremely long and comprehensive. Time stamps for individual components, issues, and improvements can be found below. Hopefully this video will be helpful for people with this gun who may be having reliability issues or want to increase performance. What is shown in this video applies to both the 5/" and 4.25/" guns.

Quick guide to the biggest problems: The extractor (skip to 12:55), dirt in the firing pin channel (skip to 16:42), disconnector sticking (fixed by work at 11:18, 28:14 and 39:33), magazine problems (skip to 40:56).

The most helpful videos I found on this gun and platform were from @AtlasGunworks, @108Performance and @nobodytraining.

Great video from @RobbieWheaton on magazine reliability!
