I'm looking to get into this platform and I've boiled it down to the ds comp and the prodigy aos comp. I live in a low cap state unfortunately, so between the cost of extra mags and pinning the mags that come with the Mac, the price between it and a Prodigy is only about $100 different.

I have not yet shot either gun but I was hoping to hear from anyone here in maybe why they picked the Mac over something like the Prodigy, and if you've shot both, your opinions on that.

Anecdotally, I've read prodigy has a better trigger although not flat like the Mac, which I do like. The intended use is going to be just range and home for now but I might take it to something like a carry optics once I felt trained enough on the platform.

Thanks for your time.

I might have the opportunity to get a lightly used Rival s Darkside for a very good price, but I won't be able to hold or test it first. I've only shot the mc9l and it was just okay for me, I prefered a few other options in the micro/sub size.

Would love to hear any lessons learned or things you wish you knew in advance about this pistol, especially anyone who competes with it or even carried it regularly. What holsters are you using? What ammo does it like best?

Thanks.

I'm looking for a system to use at home where I can help improve my initial shot placement. I rralizer oday at the range that I'm really not that good yet even from low ready on a fast and accurate target acquisition. I'm usually low left which then leads me to compensate in other ways.

Was looking at mantis x3 but wanted to hear what system you use and the feedback you may have on it.

Curious what you carry the most. Do you have a dedicated gun for all year or do you carry a micro/sc in the summer and a larger frame in the fall and winter?

Are you using optics or stuck with iron sights only?
