Thanks for posting TroyBoy30, interesting and helpful videos.If you press the safety blade properly, as you should, it‘s a non issue. There are several other blade safety guns that will lock up the same way if not operated properly.

The video touched upon a possible cause being large hand/trigger finger. My hands are large (but maybe somewhat smaller than some), and I have fired/carried the Hellcat just fine. It may come down to how small the Hellcat is, thus the trigger guard also being smaller than other compacts or even sub-compacts. Add to that the trigger safety blade, and you have larger fingers not always properly placed to pull both the blade and trigger simultaneously from a straight back position. There also seems to be an issue with the trigger guard being deformed if over tightening the retention screw on the Crossbreed Reckoning holster. Both Crossbreed and Springfield are aware of this, in fact one poster on this forum sent his Hellcat back to Springfield for them to examine after he experienced this issue. Perhaps SA needs to redesign the trigger guard to strengthen it and somewhat enlarge it so larger hands/finger can quickly access the trigger more easily. I don't know, just a thought on my part & nothing more.Why is this one the only one people are complaining about? I have a bunch of strikers. None of them have ever failed to go off when I press the trigger.
And again, in a self defense situation a lot of things can happen. When you’re on your back with some ape on top of you I’m sure you’re going to be thinking about correctly pressing the trigger.
I’ve never fired a Hellcat, but based on the inordinate amount of complaints about the trigger locking up there’s no way in hell I’d ever buy one for concealed carry. Which would be the only reason anyone would ever buy one.

Yea let me make sure I have my finger in the only spot that works while someone else is shooting at me, I don’t care how much ammo you shoot at targets it’s not the same. In a stressful situation let me count to three while I make sure my finger is not putting any side leverage on the trigger. I personally have asked for a RMA from Springfield to make sure it is working properly as I personally do not think it is. And if they say it is and it works the same as before I guess Apex will have another customer and Springfield will lose another.
