Ed Brown Fueled® Prodigy™

Fueled® by Ed Brown

Double-stack capacity. Ed Brown attention to the details.

We begin with the Springfield Armory® Prodigy™—a modern double-stack 1911—and apply the controls, reliability work, slide treatment, and finishing experience Ed Brown has developed over more than 50 years.

The platform

A current double-stack 1911, approached the Ed Brown way.

For over 50 years, Ed Brown has continually refined the 1911 through better parts, careful fitting, and practical improvements. The Fueled® Prodigy™ applies that same philosophy to a double-stack platform selected for its ergonomics, functionality, and capacity.

The result is not a cosmetic package. The work is concentrated on the controls, ignition components, feeding and extraction, slide details, handling, and finish.

What we change

The work is in the details.

Each change has a job to do. Look closely.

Ed Brown Beavertail

Our fully machined Memory Groove Beavertail Grip Safety places the hand deep in the pistol and provides a consistent contact point at the rear.

Fully machined ambi safety

Machined from barstock steel and shaped for shooting comfort, with a special hammer pin that holds the right-side lever securely.

Ed Brown hammer and trigger components installed in the Prodigy

EDM trigger components

A precision-machined hammer and sear with wire-EDM bearing surfaces produce the crisp, smooth trigger expected from Ed Brown.

Ed Brown extractor fitted to the Prodigy slide

Reliability package

A fully machined extractor is fit and tuned, and the barrel is precision throated to address feeding and extraction before the pistol leaves our shop.

Flattened and finely serrated top of the Prodigy slide

Flattened and serrated slide

The slide top is flattened and serrated at 40 lines per inch, giving the eye a clean line toward the front sight.

Recessed barrel crown on the Fueled Prodigy

Recessed barrel crown

The barrel receives a deeper recessed crown for a clean, finished appearance at the muzzle.

Finished controls and dehorned edges on the Fueled Prodigy

Careful dehorn

Sharp edges are gently and deliberately broken by the same craftspeople who finish Ed Brown 1911s.

Black Gen4 finish and serrated slide detail

Black Gen4 coating

Our black Gen4 finish provides wear and corrosion protection with the restrained appearance of finely finished matte bluing.
