I just picked up my Hellcat yesterday and I love it! In doing research before I purchased my Hellcat it read some articles on what may or may not be an issue with the trigger. What is being said is that if you apply any side pressure on the trigger it will not allow the trigger to release the striker thus the pistol will not fire. I tried to dry fire with adding side pressure and sure enough the gun did not fire. I tried many different ways of applying pressure and what I found was that if you try to fire without depressing the safety all the trigger will not fire. If you depress the safety a little bit it will not fire. Depressing about halfway, it fires. This only happens if your finger is not all the way inside the trigger guard, if the finger is all the way in It fires. Some of the posts I read were concerned that this could be a problem in a stressful situation where you have little time to react. I’ve been shooting for over 50 years and by instinct my finger always goes in the guard to my first pad or beyond and thus I have to really concentrate on not putting my finger far enough in the guard in order to hang up the trigger. This actually comforts me in that this would eliminate accidental misfires and the safety trigger is doing its job. I’m wondering what others think about this or if they have a hellcat that doesn’t have this problem and would love to hear ant comments on this issue.
