      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      I didn't bring it up because afterwards I was totally dumbfounded. The range officer's reaction had me thinking this was normal for the gun despite my preconceived notions of how I expected it to work. After the 3rd round being ejected, I started putting the mag in first & releasing the...

      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      I had no idea there were exemptions available. Even if there were, I'd have taken the training course regardless. My biggest fear, a thing I fear even more than the horror of having to use a gun in self-defense, is the legal aftermath. This is Maryland, a "duty to retreat" state, with a very...

      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      Well there is another issue that complicates carrying a big bulky gun for me. My job has me working a lot in high heat environments for varying lengths of time in the summer. That kind of limits my clothing options, & I really want to have as low a print as possible on my clothing. I've seen...

      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      Well you fellas are free to believe it's user error but once again, I'll state with absolute 100% certainty the sequence I did things. There is not even a 1 in a trillion chance that I'm misremembering this. I loaded 5 rounds in the mag. I picked up the gun & released the slide. I inserted the...

      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      Yeah I'm definately going to expand my horizons on polymer frame guns. In my heart of hearts I still hate the thought of plastic in a gun, but at this point they're so widespread & time-tested that I need to get over my hangups. And there is one thing about the Hellcat Pro I used. A couple...

      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      It's like I said, I do that so I can tilt the gun a bit & make sure the gun went fully into battery after racking. From there I can shoot or just decock it & have it ready to go. I had bought a crate of assorted 9mm ammo some time back during the ammo scarcity crisis of recent years & there were...

      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      Well Hogarth. Congratulations. I obviously typoed in one sentence putting SA & DA backwards & accidentally swapping them. Your keen powers of observation are noted. And your conclusion is that I don't know anything about guns & we should all be worried because I'm getting a CC license? I used to...

      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      Newp that literally was my 1st time shooting one. I had decided the night earlier I wanted to buy one after handling one from the range's "For Sale" case. I was shocked at how small & slender the gun is & that they managed to get so much capacity out of it. I was also realising my 1980s-1990s...

      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      I know what I'm doing. And it is exactly as I wrote. Every hammer-fired semi-auto I own is single action/double action. This was literally my 1st time shooting a striker-fired semi-auto that's SA-only. Trying to discover if the top-most round in the mag ejecting upon being racked is a...

      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      Yep agreed. I was shocked at what waw happening. And all 3 rounds went over the table onto the range lane. I didn't dare try to sneak another round into the mag because I was at the end lane & the range instructor was standing right behind me. They were very adamant about limiting ourselves to 5...

      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      Yep. That sounds about right. I guess I conflated the 6 second timer with all the rest since the 15 yd shoot was the final shoot but there definately was different timers on the 1st few shoots. The entire time my brain was furiously trying to remember how many misses I was allowed. The range...

      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      It was a single mag that the range provided with the gun. I loaded 5 rounds per shoot which was the limit for each. This was my Day 2 handgun qualifications for MD CCL training where you do 5 rounds each, 6 seconds per round. Had to put a total of 25 rounds downrange & get a minimum of 18/25 on...

      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      I am absolutely 100% certain the gun was clear all 3 times it happened. It literally was ejecting the topmost round from the mag out on the backwards pull of the rack, & then chambering the next round on release.

      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      I don't know if this would make 1 bit of difference but I do tilt my pistol partially sideways when racking the slide. I do that so I can make sure the gun is fully in battery, a habit I acquired after having some assorted ammo crates with the occasional bad round of ammo (bad seating of the...

      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      At least I now know that's not supposed to happen. But happen it did. One round ejected & the one below it chambered.

      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      I'm definately stupified at what happened then. And I'm 100% certain I never once inserted the mag 1st before releasing the slidelock.

      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      Newp. It was empty. That ejected round came direct from the magazine.

      Weird Question Regarding Hellcat Pro 9mm

      Okay. I just used a Springfield Hellcat Pro 9mm recently for the 1st time. I was qualifying at a range on this 1st-time shooting & expected the gun to handle like every other semi-auto pistol I ever used. I had the slide locked backwards & released the slidelock. I then fed a magazine in, racked...

      The Missing Text of US Constitution's 13th Amendment REDISCOVERED!

      In Anne Arundel County where I live, a few years back, there was a guy running for Sheriff named Bateman. "BATEMEN FOR SHERIFF" signs dotted yards up & down Rt. 2 Ritchie Hwy. Some comedian took a magic marker & blotted out the "E" in Bateman's name on those signs... BATMAN FOR SHERIFF!
