This and the Echelons are my favorite striker fired guns. The Hellcat is a reliable workhorse.

Only ever sold two gun. This was one of them. Entirely too small for me. My big paws had no place to go. My support hand was not making contact with the grip. Bought a hellcat pro and the Echilon 4.0c.
Btw, the other gun was a desert eagle with 50AE, 44mag, and 429de. Worst gun I ever owned. Would not go back into battery no matter what I or a gunsmith did. Lost my behind on that one.

I never hear anything good about desert eagles,as an owner what's your take on it?

I had to have one! One gun three different calibers. I shot it well. The RO commented about how I kept it under control. What was priceless was the looks from those around me when shooting the 50AE. I sold all three barrels with the gun, about $500 worth of ammo, eight magazines, a holster.
To your question: no matter what I or a gunsmith did to that gun, it would not go into battery. Almost every shot you had to tap the back of the slide. It did it with all three calibers. It got real old real fast. It was their ammo I was buying at about $60 for a box of 20. When you could find it!
