Anyone own the 911 9mm?
Likes dislikes.
I have several SA guns including the Hellcat but was curious as I haven't seen any real reviews about the 9mm version but a lot of bad reviews about the .380 version.
 
Thanks but I've seen that. I was talking about people who've put it through its paces like 500+ rounds. The article doesn't talk about any issues and nearly every video I watch there's an issue but they only shoot like 100 rounds or less. That's not a real review.
We need something like the 10,000 rounds through the Hellcat video. :ROFLMAO:
 
So would I but I only have 3,000 and no 911 9mm
I love my SA handguns including the Hellcat but my EDC is still my Shield 9mm.
I still don't trust my Hellcat enough to carry it daily.
 
My Shield PC 9mm all day every day. i guess it's like the iPhone or Apple products in general. I'm too deep into the ecosystem to quit my S&W's. All the holsters and mags and sights and triggers. LOL.
I like my Hellcat but it's not that appealing to me anymore. After shooting it the excitement wore off after 200 rounds. Dang thing pinches the palm of my hand using the extended mag.
Probably gonna sell it and buy another M&P AR-15
 
I have one, completely love it now after I figured out what What’s causing the malfunction issue.

It was same issue as seen on a lot of YouTube videos where you fire a round and slide is coming back into Battery but stops short of completely chambering the round and you have to finish by pushing on the back of the slide to make it go on a battery so you can fire again.

if you look at the Face of the hammer you’ll notice on where the slide rides the hammer forcing it back to cycle it. you’ll notice that one of either the right or left side the pakerization finish is being worn off more than the other, and a closer look you’ll notice that it was a bad grind at the factory(not a flat face but angled) so that side is putting way too much friction on the slide and causing The slide to slow down too much and loses too much inertia to do a complete cycle(also completely messed up accuracies of where Bullet was hitting the target).

how I fixed it was;
taking a Lansky extra fine sharpening stone(same exact type of stones that armors use on trigger jobs )slowly and methodically wearing down that high side of the face of the hammer, from time to time cycling the slide and you’ll keep feeling where it keeps getting a better function as cycle the slide and rework if needed.
First picture is as you can see where the hammer was really wearing on the underside of the slide, second picture is after I had used the stone(I Did not completely polish the face of it as you can still see part of the black on the hammer, so as not to wear way too much metal).Now has 100% reliability, and it is very accurate now as the firearm is functioning as it should.

That’s my biggest issue. I don’t mind working on my guns but I shouldn’t have to work on a new one. Just like some people are having to file the back of the trigger blade safety on the Hellcat to make it work. You just paid over $500 for something that should just work. Not something you have to work on.
throughout the years I never had to work on a S&W or Glock or any of my XDM’s or XD’s. They just worked.
 
That’s why usually, I will wait for awhile and not rush out to buy something new as soon as it’s released, if you wait 6-12 months before you buy, usually all the bugs were found and corrected. Case in point, the new Colt Python 2020, there is a problem with the cylinder not rotating when you use double action, the hand moves, but the cylinder doesn’t, Colt found the issue, the side plate wasn’t torqued to specs, which presses the hand towards the cylinder to rotate it, so with side plate being loose, the hand isn’t engaging the cylinder right so, it does happen to newly released guns.
 
Like @Annihilator i will usually wait, unless it’s something I have to have. If I do anything to a firearm it’s something I want to do such as a trigger job, change the hammer out ect. The mag pinching your hand is not a malfunction of a pistol. Folks were complaining of that with Glock and the cutout in the front. The pistol fired. Your hand is different than the next guy. I enjoy working on pistols/firearms. I agree shouldn’t be filling a hammer to get a gun to fire I’d let the manufacture deal with it so they know what’s going on.
 
This was my only firearm from Springfield that ever had a problem. All of the other and very multiple Springfield’s that I own have all been 100% reliable out-of-the-box no problems. it definitely is a quality Firearms Company that you can trust your life too.
 
The mag pinch doesn’t bother me it’s just noticeable. It reminded me of my Taurus 24/7 G2C when I would use the 17 round extended mag. That thing would hurt everyone who shot it. Really the only thing that I see that SA should fix on the Hellcat is the flush mag. When I shoot with it the base plate will start to slide off. Designed the wrong way IMO. The trigger issue is far and few between.
