It's still an aspect to consider IMO. Other similar firearms hardly ever, if ever, do it on the SIG discussion, incl Glocks, and even tho some Hellcats don't do it at all under 'forced' conditions, still some do it regularly and i don't want the 'regularly irregular' one.
If you read more than the one referenced 'anomaly' on the SIG forum in the sites referenced in my OP you will see that the Hellcats may also have an 'irregular' issue with their hollow firing pin. (Despite snap caps)
I asked the question here to see how many might have had such a problem and what they did to rectify it, i.e. like some who have trimmed the inner-trigger lever.
I guess I'll wait but as Fuel Fire Desire said above, I have in the past 10 years rarely purchased a new handgun that didn't go back for one or another reason and the reasons were obvious or a tminimum unacceptable to those I have purchaed in the 60's thru early 80's.
I was hoping to find a reason NOT to jump at a Hellcat right away and I find sufficient cause to wait at this point is all.
If you would bet your life that yours is fullproof that is fine with me and I hope you are right.
(I really don't need another handgun (I think!)- but I guess I was somewhat 'interested' in one that might fill the (imaginary ) space between the compact and sub-compact that I already have.
The hole in my pocket has quit burning for now
