Curiosity mainly. That and I like the concept of the lighter aluminum frame. A fully loaded Prodigy with a light and dot is pretty darned heavy.Quote:

Here's the slide back from CHPWS. I had the factory Holosun K / RMSc cut replaced with the Cross Plate system. This plate is for a Holosun 509T.
The plate had to be installed slightly more rearward than C&H normally does because the factory holes would have caused issues with the new holes. The C&H tech said it shouldn't be a problem. Looking back maybe I should have had them install it in the usual stop and just drilled two new holes instead of four.

It doesn't work with factory Staccato mags or the handgul of squeezed and tuned Checkmate mags. These won't either latch in or stay latched in and are very loose inside the grip.Quote:

Something else I note is that the small retaining tab on the right side of the thumb safety isn't long enough to fully sit inside the retention groove in the frame. It is fine when the safety is off but is exposed when the safety is on. What's saving things now is that the joint between the right and left paddles is crazy tight. But I don't want to rely on this to keep things together over the long haul.
So in addition to a new grip the gun also needs a new safety. I guess while I'm at it it needs a tighter barrel bushing. These are all things EAA needs to identify and clean up in production.
It will be interesting to see how the Tisas/MAC shakes out but I'm pretty confident in saying that it will be the better gun.

At this point I'd say there's no reason to roll the dice on one of these. Not when Prodigys and MACs are not too terribly much more expensive.

Budget 1911s are often not so budget after they need a bunch of parts replaced to make them decent. I'd say that's definitely shaping up to be the case with the Girsan. It is true that the Prodigy can also be a roll of the dice but it is also true that Springfield seems to be taking care of any problem guns. EAA? Who knows what they're doing at this point? And the MAC guns may yet shake out to be decent but are just too new on the market.
