Hellcat Pro going in Battery

[OmNiChIp]

Is anyone else having an issue with the Hellcat Pro going into battery when loading a mag? It’s happening with all 4 mags. I put a little over 200 rounds threw the pistol and with every mag change it goes into battery.

Yes

Yes

i believe i have read, where sometimes, slamming the mag, into the magwell, does that. and it ain't just that gun, it's a few others.

I guess stop slamming them in there. See how that works

 

[Gofer]

Not necessarily a bad thing.

This is pretty common across a lot of different manufacturers and it's not a design flaw when slamming the mag home for the slide to release.

BTW welcome to the forum.

Thanks, guys, for all the comments. It's really not that big of a deal. The pistol runs and shoots great. I'll just stop slamming the mag in like it was suggested. Thank you all again!

Slamming the mag in to release the slide is a nice feature for competition and defensive use if done with regular practice and a high measure of safety. If this technique interest you I'd suggest you use snap caps so you can dryfire practice at the same time.

I'm not an expert on modern pistols by a darned sight, but the Hellcat, in my opinion, is one of the best semi automatic pistols ever made. It's one of only two I ever had (or even fired) with zero malfunctions in operation, even shooting it with a limp wrist. I was shooting it like a dueling pistol, one hand lazily stretched out popping caps at junk on the backstop. About 40 rounds, no problems. Not like most compacts.
Now y'all are saying it can finish your reload in combat shooting.
Too much. (The other was a Ruger P90, a .45 DA/SA that was not only large but ugly, too.)

My Ruger SR9 will go into battery on mag insertion. That does not happen with any of my Hellcats (OSP and RDP).

Actually saw a review where this was demonstrated and represented as a feature.

The HK VP9 also will close the slide if you slam a mag into it. I agree that it is a positive feature on a defensive or competition firearm.

Not unique to the HC. Complaints/questions about this on Sig Talk P365 Forum also.

Haven't had that happen on my Hellcat Pro, yet, but have had it happen on several firearms I have shot. That's including both of the duty Glocks I have had, the G21 and the G45
