Hellcat Pro still snappy ?

With 230 grain rounds, this little guy is snappy as hell no matter how many rounds I run through it. .45 with a 3.3" barrel.

I see your .45 and raise you .357 in a 1.87” barrel…

I’ll even raise you an Astra Terminator in .44 mag shooting Hornady 300gr XTP’s….

I’m still fairly new to shooting but have been going to the range weekly for about the last month or so . I purchased the Springfield Hellcat Pro for my first firearm ( Since then i have purchased the Springfield Echelon Comp ) . I didn’t know what “ snappy “ meant when i purchased The Hellcat Pro because I wasn’t a shooter but i heard that term thrown around with that particular gun, I also would hear the trigger is awful and needs to be swapped out with an apex/tyrant trigger ? . I found out what “ snappy “ meant my first time shooting lol felt like the gun was gonna jump outta my hand with each fire .. but then again i was new to shooting and my grip may have been terrible 🤣. My 4th week shooting The Hellcat Pro DOESN’T seem snappy , trigger feels good.. it’s very accurate/reliable with all ammo used and quite comfortable to shoot and i enjoy it as much as my Echelon Comp . Do guns have a “ break-in “ period ? Maybe all who reviewed the gun didn’t give it enough time to “ break-in “ ? All that said I’m very happy with both of my purchases from Springfield Armory .
Just read up on the ammo for the Echelon Comp’d, lots of FMJ boxes (Blazer, Federal, Winchester) come with warnings against using with a compd or ported barrel. S&B 115 grain is what my lgs recommended.
And yes, my HCPC’s trigger is noticeably smoother after 200 rounds
Love the trigger honestly but am only comping it to my HKVP9
 
Yes the Hellcat Pro can be snappy for a new shooter. Personally I have a few things in my arsenal that have helped drown it out.
