Trigger replacement options for the Hellcat?

I swapped mine out after about 500 rounds—just didn’t like the feel. Found some solid info and options over at https://rarebredtriggers.org/ that really helped me make a decision. It’s super straightforward, and most of the stuff there is user-friendly if you're doing it at home. Definitely felt a difference right away after the change.
 
That trigger alone is why I went with the Shield Plus. The good news is, Springer tends to listen to their customers (hence the quiet removal of "grip zone"). Apparently Smith & Wesson does too, as evidenced by the new flat triggers starting to appear everywhere. Once Springfield comes out with a Hellcat 2.0 (and I'm confident they will) with a decent trigger, I'll be first in line to buy one.

Who would've thought that the 2 best gun companies in the world would've had their roots (even if in name only in Springfield's case) in the same town in Massachusetts of all places.

They are already on 2.0…

“Springfield Armory introduced the "Gen 2 Smooth Trigger" approximately six months into the production of the Hellcat, according to Reddit. This upgrade addressed issues some users experienced with the original trigger. The exact date when this change was implemented is not specified, but it was introduced relatively early in the Hellcat's production run.”

So is this Gen2 trigger available for refitting by the owner, or does it have to go back to SA? Come to think of it, will SA even do a refit for an owner? Thanks, jj

You just made my day 😁 I promise to buy one about 2 years after it comes out. That's about how long it will take to get on the Massachusetts approved firearm roster. Unless I move to NC/SC before then.

Pretty sure you’d have to buy a Hellcat made 6 months + after original release. Probably safer to try one a year or more out (after Sep 2019). I believe all the OSP models are Gen 2.

I doubt SA will help, but best to query customer service.
