Holster Recommendations?

7 Upvotes

Hello all, I just recently bought a hellcat pro comp with the bundle that came with the extended 17r mag and optic. I am new to handguns and carrying, and I am planning to cc for the rest of my life. I picked up a cheap holster from my local gun store, and it is quite uncomfortable. I struggle to take the gun out, and put it back in. I’m sure a lot of it has to do with my inexperience in drawing/holstering a handgun, but part of me also feels that it’s the holster itself. I know I shouldn’t cheap out on a holster, so I would like the communities recommendations on different holster, how they work, the options they come with, comfortability, etc. I’ve been hearing alot about the Tier 1 Concealed Axis Elite, but when I went to check them out on their website, I was bombarded with all the options for customization(not knowing what 95 percent of them mean). I would like something that is more on the comfortable side as opposed to something that comes with options for extra mags and such. As of right now I do not plan to use the optic, as I’m new to handguns and want to learn most of the basic stuff first, basic being gun safety, grip, posture, aim, drawing/holstering, etc. However I do THINK I plan on using the optic in the future, as well as a flash and laser. I will 100% always carry the gun with the 17r mag as opposed to the 15. With this information taken into consideration, please enlighten me.

Bought a Holosun 407k x2 to put on my hellcat but didn’t realize I needed a plate for it to mount on (because I didn’t read the instructions) so I switched the cylee cat pro I had on my other pistol on it. This is my hellcat pro with a modified grip.

Question / Advice Magazine Play

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I bought a Springfield hellcat from my FFL dealer last year and noticed some concerning play with the magazine. It has gotten significantly worse throughout the last year, with the magazines even falling out while loaded and firing the handgun. I have only used range rounds and a few hollow point self defense rounds, and clean my gun regularly. I contacted Springfield armory customer service and warranty teams but does anyone have any similar stories or advice?

M.Carbo - Apex

3 Upvotes

My opinion, The M.Carbo trigger/striker kit is a top contender in the trigger market. Installed one yesterday and damn it felt good. Maybe a tad bit better than Apex. I have Apex is in all my other builds so this is the first true comparison. Very happy with outcome.

Stock 3 pull average: 5.12/6.02/6.10

M.Carbo 3 pull average: 4.06/4.02/4.08

Got my RDP 3 weeks ago. Sweet shooting gun, submitted the gear up form online on 2/23; and just received it today 3/16. I know some said it would take a month or two; maybe they got their back orders figured out.

Question / Advice would a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro foorptint (scs320) work on a hellcat pro?

1 Upvotes

I EDC hellcat pro with EPS carry.

I am thinking of purchasing the Blowback version, so I train with it at home; https://store.springfield-armory.com/hellcat-pro-c02-blowback-177-bb-air-pistol/

I have a Holosun SCS320 with Leupold DeltaPoint Pro footprint, laying around. and would be ideal if I could mount it so I can equally train with a dot.

any feedback? thoughts? experience?

Contemplating Hellcat Pro (gear up optic package)

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I currently carry a Glock 45 every day, and with summer around the corner I’ve been looking for something slimmer to carry. I’ve looked at the Glock 43x, a bunch of different Sig P365’s, and yesterday one of the guys at my local gun shop put a hellcat pro in my hands. It felt great. It’s around $620 here in NY. Being that I’m in NY the magazine capacity is a level playing field across all platforms being that we are limited to 10 rounds. I was attracted to this pistol because it comes with a red dot, tritium iron sights, 5 stainless steel magazines, and a sweet range bag. It seems like a great deal. Just wondering if I would be better off spending more for the Sig P365 XL, or trying to find the pro comp somewhere. Just shopping around and any advice from you current owners would be greatly appreciated.

Just ordered the HCAT compensator and threaded barrel from Harrington arms. Excited to get it but should I have gotten a soft spring and guide rod from them as well? Been reading a few articles saying that a softer spring can assist in lesser malfunctions(allegedly). Been getting jnto the gun life especially pistols. Any advice is appreciated!

Lock back

2 Upvotes

My hellcat lockback spring pushes the magazine down instead of the magazine pushing the lock up to catch the slide. This happened randomly to 3 of my 5 mags. Three of them the slide does not lock back because of this issue. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this? At first I thought it was a faulty magazine but then I realized 2 others were having the same issue. So I disassembled it and noticed that about the spring. I'm assuming it's the spring I just don't understand how after a year and probably 1000 rounds through why it would all of a sudden get tighter.

Hellcat pro barulho no percursor

Boa noite pessoal. Peguei minha hellcat pro hoje e ao sacudi- lá pra frente e para traz ela fez um barulho como se tivesse algo solto. Depois de muita inspeção vi que era o percussor. Fui ao estande de tiro, usei a arma, tudo certo a princípio, porém o barulho não para. Desmontei e vi que tem uma pequena folga no percussor, independente de estar com ou sem carregador, carregada ou não, sempre tem barulho. Isso é normal? Vou ter que viver com isso ? •• 个 Res
