Got a new Prodigy 4.25 incher today. First thing was the thumb safety. The left hand safety has too much lateral play, the right hand safety when disengaged, the left hand safety (the side that blocks the sear) cams away laterally and won't release to unblock sear. IT isn't the thumb safety tab that blocks the sear fitted poorly, rather that the groove retaining the safety allows too much lateral play. Further, sear and hammer are cast, even with fitting still have creep. For the price of these guns, the safety should be fit and function correctly. AS is, a weak hand (right handed shooter) string would be a bust. The grip safety has far too much engagement, i.e. has to be depressed too far to disengage the trigger bow. This is easily corrected, but shouldn't be an issue in this price range. Shooting with mixed ammo, no malfunctions. Comes with too much hammer spring, using 15-16 lb. hammer spring would allow for more recoil spring. Just what I noted on first impressions today.
