So it's been a while....a LONG while, but I wanted to get back to everyone on this issue. I ended up sending the hellcat (#2) to Powder River Precision after much internal debate. They installed their trigger/spring kit and polished the internals while they had it apart. They shipped it back...

Well as sorry as I am to hear your Hellcat is pinching your finger, I am glad Im not the only one!! I spoke with Apex customer service and was not assured that the pull weight would improve enough because of where it is starting from. I am going to send it to PRP, I just had to wait a couple...

I looked at the apex trigger. I think it needs more than a sear and striker spring to lighten up the pull enough to make a difference. But if someone has tried the apex, I'd LOVE to hear about that. Maybe if the trigger pull started at 6 or 6.5#? I just don't know. I will call apex now though!

Thank you for this post. Maybe I got a little sensitive, but it's hard being a woman in a man's sport (no matter how many women have joined, it's still a man's sport). Your illustration was perfect. I am just being realistic that no matter how many rounds I put through the gun, it is still going...

Thanks for your post. I am really not confident in doing the pistol work myself. I really tried to get Springfield to do something for the trigger under warranty, but because it was within spec, they would not. They offered to do trigger work in their custom shop, which seemed like the best...

I am really disappointed that people are using this post to essentially belittle me and/or my thoughts and questions about this trigger. I made this post asking for input from people who have changed out the Springfield trigger to the Apex or PRP trigger. I thought I made it clear I shoot...

Thank you! I may chat with him! I spoke with PRP today and they quoted me an extremely reasonable rate to swap out to their trigger/kit.

I agree that it's not broke in yet. Kudos to you if you can shoot a 7.5 or 8# trigger well. I know my limitations, as seen on the paper targets used to determine accuracy. Unfortunately, with the cost of ammo, I cannot afford to shoot any gun like I would like to. But nothing gets put into the...

I think you are right about this gen 1 vs gen 2 trigger. I was reading the comments in the PRP trigger kit and someone mentioned the blade safety on their Hellcat being sharp. I had forgotten about my other complaint to customer service and that was the fact that after 100 rounds with Hellcat...

That's a great video, but I am just a bit too intimidated to do this. I am so afraid I would get things apart and not be able to get them back together! One day I might get brave and take a gun apart to polish and maybe change some springs, but I don't think I will start with a gun intended...

This may be the case, but it just seems like I got one that is on the heaviest end of the trigger pull tolerances. IMO, a 2# range is pretty wide. It's just odd that Hellcat #1 is on the low end as are every gun tuber I have seen review the Hellcat. Yet, again, if 7.5# pull "meets the...

I will have to check when I get #2 back (Monday, I think).

Hellcat #1 over 500, Hellcat #2 only 100. Hellcat #1 was great from the start. I thought the same thing at first, but after measuring the difference in trigger pulls, changed my mind. 500 rounds really isn't that much. Granted, it's more than 100, but.....

I do have a dremel but I'm not confident I could do that kind of work. I wish I could. I have had a gunsmith do that before and have had varying results ( I think it's him ). I spoke to Springfield c/s this morning and the rep wasn't even aware the service dept. Shipped the gun back. He did...

I agree with what you're saying as far as Springfield is concerned. As for the custon trigger work, I don't need them to be identicle. I need this gun to be shootable for me. That means a lighter trigger. I am lucky enough to have a decent variety of handguns and almost all of them I feel I can...
