  1. When 20+ becomes the norm in even handgun mags it makes it more difficult to suggest that 30 rounds in a rifle magazine is “high capacity.” Keep going, all manufacturers should offer this option, if not for their popularity, to further support the normality of capacity.

  2. Why does the market need yet another 9mm?? Equally why does a bloody HANDGUN need a X30round Magazine?? I cannot imagine ANYTHING so bloody awkward. surely in any scenario worth even considering 13 0r 14 rounds are MORE than sufficient

    • I had a situation where I had to use three 15 round magazines, if I had run out of ammo my wife and I would have both died. When it was over I had three rounds left.

      The fact is this: Unless you have a time machine to go into the future to check, or can predict the future, you never really know how much ammo you will need or what will happen in the future. And anyone that tells you something like “OH, you only need 10 rounds” or “no one needs a 30 round magazine” should be ignored for they are truly stupid people. And sure, maybe some people would never use 15 or 30 rounds in a defense situation … but there are plenty of documented cases where people have had to use multiple 15 or 30 round magazines in defense situations. The point is, you never know how much ammo you will really need until you need it. For example, personally, I do not want my family or myself or others to be seriously injured or killed because in some defense situation that could not be predicted because some idiot on the internet or some left winger or some anti-gun person or some politician decided that I could only have 5 or 10 round magazines and reloading under fire or threat with lower capacity magazines makes you more vulnerable to the threat because it increases the times you are not able to fire to defend against the threat and that frequent reload gap can be exploited by the threat to advance on you.

      Why do you think the police or military uses 15 or 30 round magazines? Its because they know they must carry as much ammo as they can for they do not know how much they will actually need against a threat and frequent reloading due to less capacity magazines makes them more vulnerable to the threat. We are no different.

      So Albert… are you now claiming you can predict the future or have a time machine?

      Who are you to make a judgement as to what a person may need in a future event?

      • Hey, I have an idea…

        Lets limit people to a fixed amount of medical care in life. Say, five times.

        Because surely, according to democrat politician and Albert and ignorant people and anti-gun logic concepts, no one will ever need more because these people can magically predict the future for each and every person for each and every incident and just know that no one will ever need more than five times, right?

  3. Why is Springfield Armory able to remain in business? Answer: they pay campaign contributions to bribe pro-civilian disarmament politicians in Illinois.

    I encourage everyone to spend their firearm dollars at manufacturers who do not actively assist politicians in their efforts to disarm us. That means NOT spending your money on Springfield Armory.

      • Again…If you do not want your pertinent post moderated for no f-ing reason simply offer everyone big money for part time work and your post will sail through.

    • uncommon…If that’s your thinking grasshopper you have more than one manufacturer to boycott. I E. Unlike democRat voters where you can roll up stupid into one ball of wax not everyone who works at your targeted offenders drives a getaway car. If fact the trouble is generally contained to a small group or a single wrongdoer. The question for you is…Is everyone and I mean everyone associated with Springfield guilty? Yes or No.

      One the other hand the Prodigy appears to be a very nicely constructed rather pricy firearm however if I had anything in my wardrobe the color of the Springfield it would be for sale on eBay.

      For the few on this forum out there on the campaign trail 24/7 busting their behinds to get TRUMP/VANCE elected and to save America from the democRat despot kamala harris and her ilk…It’s takes a Black American to know if cackling kamala is Black or Not…

  4. My wife calls this color ‘baby poop brown’ because it looks like the color of infant poop after a meal of some flavors of strained vegetables.

  5. LIKE , HOWEVER , DARN FIXED SIGHTS , I LIKE TARGET SIGHTS LIKE WHAT RUGER MK IV 22/45 PISTOLS HAVE .

    JUST ME , EACH TO THEIR OWN

  6. Where the article said “27+1 rounds of 9mm” it should have said “17+1 rounds of 9mm.”
    The standard magazine is 17-round (not 27-rounds), while the extended magazines are 20-round and 26-round.
    Please correct the second sentence where it says, “it holds an impressive 27+1 rounds of 9mm, with a a spare extended mag offering 20+1 capacity. There’s even an optional 26-round magazine available.”

  7. Cringe company making cringe products and selling to cringe customers.

    Not to mention their history of hostility towards the 2A.

  8. That’s not “coyote brown” as much as it’s “sun-bleached coyote shït from last week brown.”
