I love mine. It eats everything I run through it. 100% reliable. I carry it every day and have thousands of rounds through it since this time last year. Absolutely no changes or upgrades to it.
Just got one of these off GunBroker. Total cost to me adding all the fees and tax was $460. I think I got a fairly good deal. It's used, but doesn't look like it. And it has talon grips on it already. So I'm pretty excited about it
The recoil assembly sticks out to prevent the gun from going out of battery when pressed into something (or someone). Basically if you are in a struggle and press the gun into someone's body it will likely still fire. Most other semi autos won't. IMO it makes it more suitable for a carry gun.
@@nopenada7195 yes it does. Take an unloaded hellcat point it in a safe direction and press it into a safe soft or hard target target. You can press decently hard before the gun won't dry fire. Most other semi autos won't be able to take the level of pressure you can put on a hellcat. It's not perfect like a revolver but it's significantly better than most other options
Love my Pro. No issues, well made, is my EDC. Very accurate out of the box. Prefer no optics. The sights are not great for the range as mentioned, but I like them. Fast acquisition, easy to reacquire the target for follow shots. Great gun for the $
Have it and put a Holosun green dot on. Just bought a XD-S OSP 45, don't like the sights. Called Springfield and found out the Hellcat sights fit, so I ordered a set. They have to be ordered by phone and you much be a Springfield customer to buy a set. They're not available on their website for purchase They will look you up to make sure you own their firearms. Love my Pro, it will stay on my Hip unless they come out with a 45 version
Will be anticipating the range review, and by size comparison would love to hear your opinion/ comments with comparison with your experience with the GX4 by Taurus
The tip of my striker firing pin broke off after 350 live rounds and perhaps as many dry fires. Don't know if this is just a one-off or a more prevalent problem. Anyway, Springfield did a great job of rectifying the matter-had the gun back in my hands within a couple of weeks. Ammo-wise I have had (reproducible) failure to feed issues with the last two rounds Sig v-crown 124gr JHP in both mags; otherwise it has done fine with Federal HST, Speer Gold Dots, Hornady Critical Def. FTX, and Winchester Ranger T series hollow points. Other than the above-mentioned, I have been pleased with it.
Did you see the "trigger talk" section of the video. Of course we all know there's a difference between dry-fire feel and actual shooting, but I do my best to assess tabletop before the range video.
Great gun the trigger isn’t match grade but it’s EDC what you expect but this gun is a shooter with the cold hammer forged barrel accuracy comes on quick like any gun ya gotta run copper through it but it eats everything thrown at it, the best ammo weight to is the 124 grain hollows still great muzzle energy on target with a little more zip but recoil isn’t to bad. I was a Glock fan boy but this my new EDC sit flush against my side hardly even know it’s there.
These Springfield pistols made by HS Produkt in Croatia are the only one's worth buying . There USA made 1911 range are very hit and miss look at the new Prodigy for example multiple function problems.
I am unable to field strip mine, I don’t know if it’s cause I’m not strong enough when pulling the trigger while moving the slide forward or what but I’m afraid of breaking something if I keep trying. Edit: nevermind I got it lol
I just installed an Apex Tactical trigger and it’s a huge improvement. IMO if you were going to do just one upgrade to the Hellcat Pro, the Apex trigger would be it.
@@CamRanTyler I have one in the mail, can't wait! I can HIGHLY recommend the Lakeline slide stop. Significantly nicer than OEM, and still very low profile. You won't regret that purchase.

My Hellcat Pro ownership lasted about as long as a cup of coffee. The trigger guard undercut was giving me the infamous Glock knuckle. Also my finger was getting hung up on the trigger guard while trying to come back to the trigger and the trigger safety was pinching my finger. Kind of an overall disaster! Sold the Hellcat Pro and bought another Sig P365XL. 😁
This stuff makes me laugh so hard let’s take a micro compact that we designed and make it larger and Call it professional. Just like the sigsauer 365 macro if they would have made it large in the beginning and then smaller and smaller that would be the winner I don’t know what the hell these people are thinking
Choice is always good. If you desire a micro striker fired gun, buy the 365 or Hellcat. If you want something a bit larger but still slim and light, get the larger variants of the two. Very small guns are a turn-off for many folks. Yeah, they conceal better, but at the cost of being almost too small to control. There have been several reviews of folks comparing the Hellcat to the Hellcat Pro (and the same with the 365 and 365 XL). Those folks stated that they shot the larger variants better, by far. One of those folks retired his Hellcat for a Hellcat Pro after seeing that the Pro carried just as well, but offered better grip that allowed him to control the gun better. I'd rather have the option of two than no choice at all.

5:07 the guide rod extends a little out so you can press the gun against something or someone and prevents from going out of battery.
from what i was reading, the barrel and guide rod stick out ever so if you put the gun against something the slide isnt pushed

Mine broke into half after 500 600 live rounds and maybe as many dry fire pulls
Eager to hear. What think of the Trigger. Another reviewer said it was terrible. Only thing held me up. From getting one.

The the HellCat pro right size and round count for EDC. It’s one of my main carry guns now unless I want to carry larger pew pew.…
I would like to see a Holosun EPS Carry added to the top. I am curious to see what it likes to eat too.
Damn boy you got some big paws. The OG hellcat is a tiny bit small for me but the pro fits perfect but you make my hand look small
That's part of why Teya is in the shooting videos. She has smaller hands

I have a Springfield XD Mod 2 5 inch . Far superior to Glock etc.
What would you suggest is the ideal jhp carry ammo for the hellcat pro ? Regarding the barrel Length? Ect ect
I just got one today but it sounds like something is rattling inside
I’m sorry for the off subject, your pistol brace alternative video didn’t mention AK pistols, are there options?
Yes of course if you have a way to attach a buffer tube
@@GBGuns thank you!
Looking for a set of grips for a colt official police revolver made in 1948. Any suggestions. Tks

How. I’m struggling too and I can’t get the lever the flip up with the slide locked back
👍🏻👍🏻
An awful lot to like here.
Good👍👍👍
Yesss!! Only problem I had was the trigger a little heavy throwing my shots. Might clear up like my old Hellcat

@@CamRanTyler does the apex trigger compromise the safety of the gun with one in the chamber ? Ect ..
@@positivereactions4044 not as long as it’s the newly released version that is specifically certified compliant with the Hellcat Pro model.
