Grabbed one at a gun show last weekend.
That would be niceCongratulations!
Although I must admit, I am a bit disappointed as I thought that the thread title indicated that Springfield Armory was coming out with a new version of the Hellcat chambered in .45 ACP.
On the first or second mag I shot, the last round went nose up before going into the chamber, kind of stovepiped. may have been the one mag, I'm not sure yet.Need a range report
I have considered one. Should be a great piece, if reliable.
Congratulations!

I assume this is a used pistol given the Pachmayr grips. What follows is just a heads-up for a possible cause of the malfunction and something to keep tucked away in your memory.. . .the last round went nose up before going into the chamber, kind of stovepiped.
I'm afraid it's just the nature of the beast.The recoil spring on this thing seems very heavy.
lee n. field said:They'd be back up to the 3.3 inch barrel, which seems to be as short as they've been able to make a reliable .45. It'd be pretty darn chubby in the grip, too, I don't think they'd be able to play the same optimizing games with .45 to get much improved capacity that wasn't really fat in the grip.
