That is impressive considering +P Underwood ammo and not a single issue.

prior test, although unsure if its the same gun or not but still.

I don't think 10k is that much of a benchmark these days. Do 10x that and I'll be impressed.

Army Responds to DoD Report Criticizing New Sidearm Reliability

The pistol the U.S. Army chose to become its new Modular Handgun System failed reliability requirements during testing.

According to their standards for the MHS, the hellcat technically performs better going by the data .MIL uses for standards..

The only stoppages the Hellcat had during its 20k course was operator error from riding the slide lock and one instance of someone loading a bullet backwards in a mag.

During the 10k of +P all they did was cool the barrel after temp concerns but had 0 failures/stoppages.

I'd say that's pretty impressive for a micro compact carry pistol. I too wish I got $6,895 worth of +P ammo for free but im not sponsored

This is great and all but, it's not a Glock so it is by nature inferior. That being said, I love my Hellcat and wish it came out 15 years ago, could have saved me a lot of money on other cc pistols that weren't up to the task for one reason or another.

Did they ever fix the trigger issue?

Hellcat trigger debacle

So I got some 300-400 rounds trough my new Hellcat, and I only now saw the outrage about the trigger binding in certain conditions. OK, open minded here... Watching the YT videos I was curious why some people have that issue and some don't. I managed to grab a screenshoot of the trigger from one...

Apparently?

What was the original issue?
