    Hellcat #2 trigger heavier than Hellcat #1 . . . advice needed

    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...

    Hellcat #2 trigger heavier than Hellcat #1 . . . advice needed

    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...

    Hellcat #2 trigger heavier than Hellcat #1 . . . advice needed

    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!

    Hellcat #2 trigger heavier than Hellcat #1 . . . advice needed

    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...

    Hellcat #2 trigger heavier than Hellcat #1 . . . advice needed

    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...

    Hellcat #2 trigger heavier than Hellcat #1 . . . advice needed

    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.

    Hellcat #2 trigger heavier than Hellcat #1 . . . advice needed

    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...

    Hellcat #2 trigger heavier than Hellcat #1 . . . advice needed

    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...

    Hellcat #2 trigger heavier than Hellcat #1 . . . advice needed

    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...

    Hellcat #2 trigger heavier than Hellcat #1 . . . advice needed

    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 #2 trigger heavier than Hellcat #1 . . . advice needed

    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.....

    Hellcat #2 trigger heavier than Hellcat #1 . . . advice needed

    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...

    Hellcat #2 trigger heavier than Hellcat #1 . . . advice needed

    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...

    Hellcat #2 trigger heavier than Hellcat #1 . . . advice needed

    I will call them back this morning, but the problem is they already shipped it back. Yes, they could re-route it back or have me ship it back again, but I'm doubtful that will happen. I feel like I just dealt with Century Arms all over again....ship it back for them to say there's nothing wrong. 😡

    Hellcat #2 trigger heavier than Hellcat #1 . . . advice needed

    First let me say, while I have only been shooting a little over 4 years, I have immersed myself in handguns, so while I don't know it all, I'm not a novice at this point. I have an array of Springfield pistols, all which I absolutely love and shoot very well. I bought a Hellcat at the...

    XD Mod.2 Subcompact - Showing some age?

    TsiWRx nailed it here! A large percentage of weapons' failures can be attributed to magazines. I was also going to suggest the possibility that grip was the cause of the slide not locking back. Maybe since the gun is getting 'broke in" it is easier for a malfunction from riding that slide...

    The All New 30 Super Carry

    To me the timing of the release is a little suspect. I mean, prices on 9mm are still WAY higher than what they were pre-plandemic. Product is finally available in most standand calibers, but 380 and some hunting calibers can still be hard to find. I know these calibers are in the planning and...

    XD Mod.2 Subcompact - Showing some age?

    The Mod.2 STILL IS a solid platform! 1,000 rounds and you're wondering if it needs to be replaced? Yikes! Have you cleaned it? What kind of ammo were you shooting? In all the ammo shortages, there have been far more known issues with ammo malfunctioning. Maybe your mag needs cleaned or...
