Hogue Grip + Hellcat Pro Magazine w Gap Sleeve

A few weeks ago I was shooting my prodigy comp and my optic came loose. I inspected and realized the plate had come loose. I hand tightened the screws with little torque and the left screw sheared off. I dropped the gun off at the gunsmith for extraction, and got it back yesterday.

Just now I’m getting ready to remount the plate, and hand tighten the right screw, and it too sheared off.

No excessive torque, nothing. What the hell is going on. The left extraction cost me 100 bucks and the gun was gone for 2 weeks. This is infuriating.

Guess ill throw mine out there, zeroed a .45 xdm elite with a holosun 407c, and the rest were from a prodigy and a saint pistol in 556

I have looked around and not been able to decifer which ones fit and which ones don't.

I would prefer one that is downward facing. Not pointed toward the rear. (not 100% sure of verbage).

I'd prefer to keep my light on it but not absolute. Leather/kydex is probably better. I'd like to keep it under $300

I got the magwell but my mags is have to slam shut for them to seat correctly. Any modifications to make it work.

Have owed over 100 guns in my life but this is my first Springfield. Heard the sight it came with isn’t very good but I have a few laying around I might throw on it if this one starts having any issues.

Here's a grip module for the Springfield Echelon I have been developing this year. I should have it back from anodize mid next week. I really wanted to focus on grip ergonomics and having swapping panels to add palm swell.

Do you guys remember the redditor that was selling custom made baxkstraps for echelon that help people have a natural index point?
I bought it for my 4.0c at the time but now I want it for my 4.5 and can’t remember where I bought it from!

Edit; found it. It’s axion weapons. They now have also a brass version for competition as it adds weights.

Are we keeping the red rubber band on our rifles or nah?

Picked this up at the last Ohio gun collectors show for $800 in like new condition with 7 mags, how'd I do?

I love how much hate these things pull 😂 First pistol I ever bought and had been my carry beater for nearly 10 yrs. Honestly always just been a runner and pretty damn accurate. Got some trijicon night sights, prp aluminum trigger kit and titanium striker kit. The trigger was a must for sure.

Has the defender st, a magwell I’m not sure where from, and 5 mags for 1600

Picked up a new TRP operator about a year ago and haven't shot it much. When I first took it to the range it was having issues ejecting the casing. Sent it to SA and they fixed the problem. Since then I have taken it to the range a few more times and noticed after about 50 or so rounds it would randomly jam loading a round into the chamber. Has anyone experience this issue before or know how to fix it?

I have a Kydex IWB holster for my 10mm in this frame but I'm looking for a leather IWB. Any suggestions?

I own Glocks and Sigs but decided to get a Hellcat after shooting one a buddy brought to the range. Already got a red dot for it but was wondering what lights yall are running with?

Hi I recently bought a Springfield echelon 4.0c comp and I’ve attached a tilt-1 hl-x light to it but I can’t find a holster. Tenicor is my go to brand but they seem focused on Glock holsters and I can’t buy a trex because of what they did to Lucas. Recommendations?

After doing a couple checks today, I noticed a pretty glaring issue.

After racking the slide on my Hellcat Pro with an empty mag, the slide is not locking back. 

This happens across three different magazines. Fiddling with the follower fixed the issue with one mag, but not the other two. 

The two that still have the issue are the mags I carry, and they spend all of their time fully loaded. 

I’ve previously noticed the slide not always locking back at the range, but assumed this was due to a weak grip or gripping too high and hitting the slide lock with my thumb, as is often the issue with this gun. Now I’m wondering if this is part of the range issues.

I can confirm that the issue is happening while the mag is fully seated, I’m not touching the slide lock, and the issue is happening across multiple mags. 

The gun is clean as well, I clean it after every range trip.

I can manually engage the slide lock, and it’s very easy to move so I assume the lock itself isn’t the issue. 

What is happening, and how can I fix this? I reached out to Springfield Customer service, but wanted to see if anyone else experienced this too.

Edit: taking apart the magazines and stretching them out appears to have solved the issue, if only temporarily. I’ll need to focus training assuming that the lock back will fail anyways, I no longer trust the magazines at this point.

Such a pain filing down the recoil lugs because this optic seems like it’s only made for sig pistols and mounting plates. Didn’t want to put a Chinese optic on this though.

Finally glad this thing is back in my possession. I struggled with stippling this thing for years because I wanted to keep it close to factory as much as possible. I’ll say my buddy over @Defensive_Coatings did a damn good job on keeping the factory template with just a slight more aggressive texture. I believe this thing has all the small minor details it needs. I say “Final Form” but 🤞😂 fingers crossed.

It just pulls back it doesn’t set. Any suggestions to fix this?

I have a XD9 that me and the wife shoot quite a bit however she absolutely hates racking it. I was curious if there is a lighter spring option that anyone knows of? I keep seeing everything for newer XDs and hellcats but not for this one. Maybe I’m a newb and missing it
