In reply to Steve. I have a very good friend named Steve. That's the only good thing I can say regarding your comments regarding the SA Hellcat. My family has five of them with not an issue ONE developing. I am a former Deputy Sheriff, City Police Officer, currently certified NRA Law Enforcement Firearms Instructor; not to mention a certified Gunsmith Graduate from two different but Nationally Accredited schools. Oh; did I forget that I am a 22 year USMC combat veteran. You have no clue.

Problem with the Hellcat !!!! The Standoff on the Recoil Spring Assembly is not as good as all the hype that it has been given. It is made out of plastic so if you use Frog Lube DO NOT USE ANY HEAT ON THE RECOIL SPRING ASSEMBLY as the thin edge that keeps the spring captive will break off! Springfield Warranty is not worth the paper & ink they use to print it! They will not have any parts till March. I got the gun working but the spring is not captive. This is not my first Polymer Firearm and I treated all of them with Frog Lube and had no trouble arise from them. Springfield said its my fault and they warranty it. So they all will do this!
