Love hate..
The Prodigy is a very cool design. However the Gen I was an ear splitter. FRP indoors would ring your bell too. I have loved the design and am geek enough to appreciate the engineering that IS in it. But sometimes "Keep it simple" is better.
Gen II came out and was a whole world different, but still FRP was loud IMHO so I shot it wet on pistols, but I still had the accuracy problems. Even more was the silencer needing a lot of TLC so it would not lock up.
Now with a D-Tool available years later we have one problem has been helped, but is still keyholing with the gen II core.... That fix is finally here.
The Gen III core is finally back in from the outside vendor and has passed QC... so off for the 2nd exchange of cores on Monday.
If the Gen III core resolves the stability issue, and with the D-tool, I will FINALLY have a .22 silencer I can use on my pistols.
It has been a LONG wait.
I am very grateful AAC has continued to work on developing a core that works. Even if it's .5 db louder the increased stability is well worth it. AAC could have just done nothing and abandoned us but have not.
I am also hoping the FRP is a little less with the redesigned blast baffle, but not holding my breath.
In hindsight I wish I had ordered a Kodiak a year ago. Cuz knowing my luck, my SS Sparrow will also have blowback, and I still won't have a silencer that will work on my 10/22 for any duration of fire. So proactively I am going to order one.
The Prodigy on my bolt rifle is outstanding and still brings a smile.
But the "Fix" for ALL of my.22 problems is really the Kodiak. Now to see if I can find a Kodiak TL instate.
Gratefully AAC has developed the Gen III core so I am not stuck with just a bolt action, rifle only, silencer. I am really looking forward to testing the new core!
