Not a fair comparison. S&W puts a hinged trigger on the Shield that is extremely forgiving of finger placement to disengage the safety. This is not true for many bladed triggers. The bladed triggers pioneered by Glock and used on the Hellcat are less forgiving of finger placement. That is...

I have the Gen 1 Hellcat. Never knew there was a trigger issue until I read about it online. Yup. If I miss-handle the trigger by not pulling it straight back, I can make it lock up tight. FYI, my S&W M&P has a high dollar aftermarket Apex trigger that works flawlessly for me and is worth the...

Is the Gen 2 trigger from the RDP going to be available as a retrofit to Gen 1 Hellcats? is it even compatible with Gen 1 Hellcats? Does it address the side pressure lockup issue encountered when some Gen 1 triggers are not pulled straight back?

Thanks for all the replies. Still no reply to my email to Springfield. I finally got thru to Springfield on the phone. 1. Laser training cartridges do qualify as snap caps as for as Springfield is concerned, so use them to train with. 2. Spare parts for the Hellcat are currently not available...

BobaFat, I did not see a review by Aaron of any Swamp Fox optics on the Sage Dynamics site. FYI, the Swamp Fox Sentinel looks like an interesting option for the Hellcat. But it is in short supply everywhere since the Armory Life article on it. Swamp Fox is saying next delivers will go out...

Thanks Kdavis. I did Check Gunborker per your suggestion. Numerous 507K's for sale.. No 407K's. I will keep looking. In the meantime, Sage Dynamics is doing a long term test on the 507K. Check out his website.. https://www.sagedynamics.org. Lots of valuable info there, He is an...

Thanks Kdavis23. Great pictures. My 407K is still estimated to be a month away. But that beats a 5 month backlog at Optics Planet for new orders. Glad to see the K series sits low enough for a perfect co-witness with stock sights. Rep at Holosun says they are shipping new inventory out...

I contacted Holosun today. They are currently shipping the 407K. First retail shipments went out last week with another shipment due this week. When I asked if they were making progress clearing their backlog on the new K models, the rep said the order list is huge, so clearing the backlog...

Thanks for the info. It is curious that Trijicon is coming after the 407k/507k since it does not market a sight specifically for mini sized carry guns like the Hellcat or the 365. Nobody mounts an RMR on those guns currently, so where are the damages to Trijicon? After watching Microsoft win...

The bad news is I cannot buy a spare striker as a hedge against failure. I buy spare mags, spare strikers and spare ejectors for all my guns, so failures mean only one day of down time. Hopefully Springfield will offer Hellcat spare parts once production catches up a bit. But for now you...

I am still waiting for my Holosun 407K to be delivered. But I do know about the required optics cut, as I have had my S&W Shield custom milled for the Holosun 407k, so I can compare that optics cut with the one on my Hellcat OSP. The Holosun 407k/507k use the Shield RMSc footprint with the...

I am still waiting for my Holosun 407K to be delivered. I do know about the required optics cut, as I have had my S&W Shield milled forth 407k, so I can compare that optics cut with the one on my Hellcat OSP. The Holosun 407k/507k use the Shield RMSc footprint with the exception of the rear...

The Hellcat owners manual forbids dry fire without a snap cap in place to prevent striker breakage. I use snap caps on all my striker fired guns. My question, as yet unanswered by SA, is does a laser training cartridge like those sold by LaserLite or the LaserHIT app meet the snap cap...

1.5" out of a Ransom Rest might be achievable with the right ammo. Another reporter listed 2 inch groups at 25 yards SHOT FROM A TABLE TOP MACHNE REST. Pretty good for a super compact. Better than the rest of us mortals can shoot it.

THIS ISSUE IS SHOOTER INDUCED. Most "CENTER SAFETY" triggers can be bound up by applying a side load as the trigger is pulled before the center safety can release. This occurs by pulling the rigid trigger body aft without first depressing the safety. The safety does exactly what it is designed...
