Springfield Armory Hellcat

[No_Regerts]

Well then, good sir... have I got just the thing for you... step right up.

Have you heard of the all-new REVOLUTIONARY Springfield Armory Hellcat... ?

Its at least as REVOLUTIONARY as the Saint! Remember all the hubub about that? They unleashed the most copied and plentiful rifle in the US!

So how does holster situation work with a red dot like that?

It has to be cut to accommodate it, if you want the gun to sit lower in the holster to cover the trigger guard. Kydex is about the only way to go.

Sounds like more hassle than its worth.

Yeahbut, that red dot will fix everything. And who shakes under heavy stress? Not me! I'll have plenty of time to line up that fancy red dot and take aim and fire.

So, if we're not like you, follow what you say or blindly agree with you, we're bubblegum hurt?


I don't agree with one thing you previously posted - what you say is a foolish blanket statement that is very narrow minded, sadly some who read your post are now believing your brain droppings as truth, and that's sad.

Brain droppings eh? You're full of put downs tonight.

I always liked him.

Let's bury the hatchet. You have your opinion, I have mine.

ME TOO! I watched him from his early days on SNL when it was funny, all the way to the end. Last couple times he was on stage you could see age catching up with him but he was still amazing. That he could stand and do a full session like that and he was funny as hell.

I don't like those two part "safety" triggers... something feels wrong about them... then again there's only two pistols I shoot that were designed in the last 50 years...

I'll probably keep dreaming about getting a P365.

So reading through the posts, I take it no one likes it.

I'm thinking of a higher capacity carry gun. May at least look at this and the Sig.

Actually it looks intriguing to me. I'm just not into the red dot version. I will however check one out when they are available at my LGS.

You buying an SA product? That's it, I'm buying that RAR!

Dude, I didn't say buy!

I can't hold a grudge against copy-cats.

Many gun makers have copied the polymer frame design, I suppose started by HK but perfected by Glock.
SA copied the 1911 grip safety.
Everyone copies the 3 dot sight system.
Many copy the Glock trigger safety in some way, whether a dingus or a hinged trigger.
Most makers copy some form of striker fire system.
Most makers copy some form of drop safety, hammer block, firing pin block.
Triggers are all generally the same design.
A dozen companies make 1911s, straight up clones.
A lot of companies practically steal designs from CZ and Walther among others.

As far as the overall design, there's only really a few ways to make a gun so it's functional and ergonomical. That they happen to appear similar is probably mostly coincidence with some design influence.

This group here is a small fraction of the gun owners and often seems to be way off the mark. One great example was when the Ruger PC Carbine was announced. When I first saw it I too thought it looked "odd" and I LOVE PCC's. As soon as I read why it looked the way it did I was looking to buy one. I kept reading many saying it would not win. Well how long did it take them to catch up?
Ruger Wrangler was another. Saw a lot of "this is ............."fill in the blank. These are selling faster than they can make them too. I will be surprised if SA drops this pistol from the line for lack of sales anytime soon. The optic ready version will by my guess not sell nearly as well but, the pistol unless something goes wrong with manufacturing should be quite a winner.

When I started considering a higher capacity carry gun I looked at a few models. And decided I needed 16 rounds, so G19 for the win!

Yep. Look at bolt actions. Fixed ejector, plunger ejector, full length extractor, spring steel extractor, cock on opening, cock on closing. Pick one from each, add as many locking lugs as you please. That's about it.

I've tried that and your old one the 26. Never could get either to not print on me or be comfortable. I might try the newer 48. Then again I already did the 43 so...

The Sig looked promising but then it hit YouTube. This guy is hideous, but might be worth looking at. As is maybe the Sig finally.

I can't get over my LCP really. Been my daily forever now. Kind of gave up on 9mm or larger guns.

I just keep torturing myself thinking that maybe the next one might be better.
