Great story, didn’t know this pistol was +p rated let alone a 10,000 round torture test, impressive, thanks Mike

Hellcat certainly going to be my next purchase. Envious about the 10,000 rounds and since you can’t take it with you, why not shoot it if you got it...right?
Filed under sarcasm and silliness/You’re Killin’me Smalls:
10,000 x $1.50 ppr = Torture (pending availability of course)

Great test and report!
Big ups to Underwood for supplying nearly eight grand worth of ammo (retail, per their website)! I can only dream of having that much
Would love a Hellcat OSP, but just need to shoot one before, er, pulling the trigger on that purchase

You know, I think it’s amusing that people think the Hellcat wasn’t “+P rated”.
Honestly, I don’t know of a single major production 9mm pistol that isn’t.

Only reason I didn’t think it was +p rated is because it’s a small compact pistol, that’s my excuse
There's a difference, but?

My understanding is NATO is in between 9mm and 9mm+p.There's a difference, but?

Impressive! Especially the heating and rapid cooling/freezing of the barrel and still……
Watched some of it.
9 malfunctions, sound like user-induced (one person had all 9 malfunctions).
Recoil spring replaced every 2k rounds, according to their protocol.
No mention of any other parts needing to be replaced, that I saw.
Cleaned every 1000 rounds, oiled every 500 rounds, according to their protocol.
Said they sent it back to Springfield Armory to be inspected by their engineers, but no mention of the outcome of that (e.g., any non-visible stress fractures or other problems).

The Hellcat sure seems to be rugged and reliable. I just picked up a Hellcat Pro and I'm pretty happy with it.
