Springfield Armory Hellcat Trigger

Overtightening the CO2 capsule may result in problems with the trigger resetting after a shot is fired. If you encounter this, it is likely due to the CO2 capsule being overtightened and is easily resolved by turning the CO2 piercing screw counterclockwise slightly to reduce friction within the mechanism.

The allen key located in the backstrap is specifically designed to not allow overtightening of the CO2 cartridge piercing screw. Please make sure that you are following the instructions for proper use of the backstrap allen key, located on page 6 of the manual. Do NOT try to use the backstrap allen key as a T-handle this can damage the backstrap.
