1911 vs 1911 A1

I always wondered what was the difference in them, Hickok 45 does a good review.

Gotta love a 1911

Thank you ! the hi cap 9 in a 1911 pattern intrigues me, it is my understanding the Springfield Armory Prodigy has shortened the frame to assist feeding the shorter 9mm cartridge.
Shooting what our military shoots helps the wallet here in the U.S.
best wishes

The Prodigy looks like a cross between a 1911 and 2011 but I have never fired one, not sure about the frame. In the data it says the mags fit the Staccato (STI) which is a 2011 I believe.
Either way looks like a nice firearm.

Thank you - less than a minute in he states why, only Staccato (formally STI) can use 2011, it is trademarked by them.
