Just wanted to let you guys know that I think this is the most well made "here's how to install my product" video I've ever seen. This pistol is glock-like enough that this was a really simple process, but I watched this whole video just because it was amazing to me how much detail you guys went into. I bet this took ages to record and edit. Thanks for taking the time to do it right, I feel like if I was 20 again with no idea how a pistol worked, I still would have been able to do this install with no issues thanks to this video.
Also, my OEM Hellcat trigger pull varied pretty wildly. 6.1lb on the low end, 7.5lb on the high end. After installing your spring kit, it's between 4.5 and 4.7lb EVERY time. This kit is worth it just for the increase in consistency alone, but the pull being smoother and lighter is icing on the cake. Thanks for making a fantastic product!
Thanks for the heart! A year and several thousand rounds later I'm still loving this trigger, and it's gotten even smoother. Highly recommend to any hellcat owners!
Is your trigger safety shoe not reseting back properly??
@@moisesllamas146 mine works fine
@@47MasoN47 cool i will reach out to springfield
This is the best pistol disassembly video I've ever seen.
Apex does a really detailed disassembly and install too.
@@Strawman333 haha, I was typing the same comment while reading yours!
Finally! An aftermarket company that understands that if we are paying to replace a heavy factory trigger, it might be a great idea for their replacement options to actually reduce the weight!
Ikr I hate when they price a 100 dollar trigger only for it to be identical to stock except its smoother
This was, by far, one of the best installation videos I've ever seen. I believe even I can do it! 🙃I have arthritis in my hands and my trigger finger has a hard time pulling back (with pain at times). I'm going to give this a try and, with approximately a 33% lowering of the pull, it should definitely help. Thanks for an awesome video!!
Final followup. I actually went out and put a few hundred rounds through it. Night and day. It's about as good as a striker fired trigger experience can be. I am not sure how this works, but my fingertip would get stung by the trigger somehow prior to putting in this kit. I have seen other people say the same about their Hellcats. That problem is gone and I am shooting with much improved accuracy and less anticipation. Great product Mcarbo!
I appreciate the hell out of this video. I'm not very well versed in handgun internals outside of your basic field stripping to clean and lube, so taking this kit on by myself was a bit scary. But this video was EXACTLY what I needed. Easy to follow along, I learned a ton more about my pistol parts and how they interact with each other, and feel 100 times more confident in my skills repairing or modifying my hellcat. The spring kit is fantastic and I noticed an immediate improvement. Thanks!
Okay, got the kit in the mail this morning. Installed it and my trigger went from high 6 to 4.5 consistent. This kit is a godsend and I highly recommend it, along with a monarch trigger and polishing the seer to everyone. Thank you Mcarbo!!!
This is great. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the shared knowledge and instructions. You guys are doing great work. Life long customer and viewer earned.
I just installed the MCarbo hellcat spring kit. The reduction in trigger weight is wonderful! The trigger break is clean. I had preferred the trigger on my P365X to my hellcat it was way better. Not anymore, seriously the hellcat trigger easily beats the P365X.
The install video is great.it wasn't actually difficult just a little awkward to do it the first time. The price is more than fair for such a good result. Thank you!!!!
Blast from past ...just the spring kit? Did it change pre or post travel?
@@christianknight2905 I have since sold it. However everyone at my LGS could not believe the difference with the spring kit.
I just bought the upgraded Stainless Steel Sleeve for the Hellcat Pro. This video as others have commented is the best I have ever seen on how to install the product. Great tips on the polishing areas is a bonus. Much appreciated.
DON'T APOLOGIZE! Hands like that used to be a point of pride! That means you don't play with a mouse for a living. Everyone who shakes my hand says it feels like a sasquatch. Lol Just got one of your kits today. Can't wait to install it.P.S. Just installed the kit! Wow! What a difference and I'm very impressed with the quality of the new stainless part. Two thumbs up. 👍🏼😎👍🏼
Just finished my Hellcat Trigger Spring Kit and Stainless Steel Striker install. Thanks for a great video and super details. It made the job so easy. I’m ready to that upgraded trigger and I notice it’s listed on your website. I also signed up for a notification when available.
just installed it, very simple expecially if your use to glocks, not much different besides the seer. thanks again! very hard to go from a 3.5lb glock trigger to a 7lb stock hellcat I appreciate this!!
Just finished installing this kit and got say it's a night and day difference. I have not even broken it in yet. Actually not even fired one round but damn I can say my calibrated finger can tell the difference and now I'm excited to take it to the range.
Awesome video, awesome product. Made the install along with your new trigger this afternoon. I'd say it's easy thanks to your instruction but it does take some patience and a time out or two to vent any frustration. I also polished the parts you suggested. I finally found it much easier to install the sear spring to the pin before connecting the trigger bar to the sear. I'm getting low 4 pounds on my crude little Wheeler gauge but more importantly it's an extremely smooth pull to a solid wall, a crisp break and a much improved reset. Can't wait to get to the range. Really love this gun.
Just finished installing this trigger and it is so much better. My factory trigger was around 7.25 lbs and before polishing it felt pretty gritty. It now is around 5 lbs and smooth with great reset. The video was very helpful and the whole process took about 1 1/2 hours. Thanks guys it is a great product and very good price. *****
I’m getting a Hellcat soon and buying this upgrade is a no brainer. Thanks for showing us what to polish too!
I just followed the video and finished installing my springs, sleeve and the Monarch Trigger. The whole process went very well. This video was an amazing help. I polished all my spots. I’m looking forward to my next range visit.
Man this was such a helpful and detailed video. I really appreciate you taking the time to go through the parts and showing where things go and providing pointers along the way. Thanks
Just got this kit today, installed it and felt the difference in the pull. Still need to go to the range with it, but I foresee appreciating the kit right away.
Just did this install. Major difference in feel! Thanks for making great products!
This is a great kit and install video. 100% reliable, great quality. Installed in my Pro model.
Loving my XL. Father owns the Hellcat. Got him a stainless steel striker sleeve. Here to learn how to install the before mentioned... Thus, I thank you for the tutorial.
Awesome video! The instructions and explanations were very clear, and you showed exactly what to do. Thank you for the clarity and for making the trigger pull so much better. And yes, please make a new trigger (red, metal, etc.) :)
Great video, just installed the kit. Good lighting makes a huge difference as the times I struggled were mainly due to lack of the same visualization demonstrated on this video. Easy peasy.
I appreciate this video so much! I had never taken my hellcat completely apart and started doing it watching another video. After learning some lessons the hard way found this video and the rest was a breeze. Thank you so much for the extreme amount of deal.
Just installed my spring kit by following the video. I’ve done a bunch of spring replacements in my other handguns and this was by far the easiest. My Hellcat was broken in before the change and my five pull average was reduced from 5lbs 6oz to 3lbs 4oz.
It appears I'll be buying your kit for my Hellcat. You SCCY cpx-2 trigger kit was very impressive!
Awesome! Glad to hear the excellent results on the CPX-2. We’re releasing a CPX-2 Aluminum Flat Trigger and Extra Power Recoil Spring/SS Captured Guide Rod Assembly this week.
Great video! Excellent video with clear pictures of each process. Thank you for making that job easy to do!
Awesome kit just installed this today!! Also please make a trigger
yes make the trigger
I was trying to switch out my back plate and it started to come apart thank god for this video !
And you showing this process is awesome most of the other guys I can’t keep up with them they’re all over the board your videos are perfect
Just ordered my kit. Sold me on that stainless sleeve.
Installed the replacement trigger kit about a month ago. Amazingly good video!!! I'm a neophyte to guns and I completed it in about an hour. This trigger kit makes shooting the Hellcat MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE and accurate.
A few suggestions. At 6:10 there is a list of tools. Make sure you watch that first. I did not have a bench block. It's sold at MCarbo for $9. I suggest buying one. By far the most difficult part is the sear spring installation. DO NOT RUSH THROUGH THIS. The spring is very easily bent. There is also a small retention clip that I almost lost. It's not mentioned until 34:41. Mine fell out, I had no idea what is was until I got to this point in the video. Fortunately, I had not lost it. It's very small.
Again, overall, one of the best instructional videos I have ever seen. Video images are unbelievably helpful. I loved the way they had the parts arranged during the video to show the different parts and the order of reassembly. Great job MCarbo!!
Next, I'll be purchasing the upgraded trigger for my Hellcat.
As a serious student, I must say this instructional material was presented by a talented teacher, whereby few possess such abilities and exercise his or her god given gifts, and thus, I sincerely appreciate your efforts and labor.
I love your spring kits and assembly videos. I keep coming back.
Great video. Great trigger spring kit. Had to look at this to also install my Hyve monarch trigger.
Just did mine awesome… keep up the great work guy’s… 4.5 lb pull.
Got the springkit and the stainless sleeve, shoots much better and way lighter to the point where it was scary at first! Great product indeed.
Great video! I did SUB2000 “full Monte” kit and love it. I’d like to do this kit for my Hellcat but, I’d like to have a Mcarbo trigger so looks like I’m going to have to be patient and wait.
Just ordered mine. Thanks for the video.
It was SUPER EASY TO PERFORM!! My hellcat trigger is smooth at buttah now👍
Great video, great product, exactly what my Hellcat Pro needed.
I don’t own a Hellcat or have any plans to buy one. However, I really enjoy the MCarbo kits I have purchased and just like watching the videos.
Thanks Brother, always happy to hear the videos are helpful. We appreciate your Support!
Don't buy hellcat, get the Sigp365X and you will hit bulls eyes right out of box without any modifications.Hellcat has been a major disappointment when it comes to accuracy and that damn 7 pound trigger.
IMO it would be easier if you put in first the spring on the sear pin with sear just free dangling, so the spring is not under tension. It's easier to pull under tension the seer later, when installing in it's place, with the trigger bar. More leverage.
Just ordered the kit.
Thank for the Video. I upgraded my Hellcat too. THXS again!
You really put out great how to videos. About the new triggers, I had to shave the bottom and sides of my trigger because it was pinching my finger meat on the reset. OK now but if you make a new trigger leave some room between the bottom of trigger to the trigger guard.
My striker sleeve broke so I bought this kit just for the stainless sleeve and it’s a really well made part…… I’m sure I’ll end up putting the springs in at some point just haven’t gotten around to tearing into it yet
I did my sear spring a bit different. I set it on the pin, set the pin in place then moved the sear into place and set the bar in place. Was much easier than hassling with pulling the spring into place. Initial feel is much better and Mantis is giving me a slightly higher score. Now off to the range for the real test.
just put one in guys and i love it but you def need to make a trigger for this one than it will all be perfect . i did a little polishing also and yes mine is a brand new gun shot one mag thru it . definate improvement thanks guys
This is an awesome video great detail, great step by step.
Amazing Video... You have no Idea how many different times this video has helped me. Thought I would say something after watching it for the 7th time .
Glad we could help!
@@MCARBO Stainless steel striker sleeve should be arriving today, thank you again.
Great video. It looks like you could blow out the competition if you add an improved trigger.
Thanks for such a detailed video explaining everything in depth. For comparison sake, how’s this spring kit compared to Apex Hellcat kit?
Great video..... Got that SS part for my Hellcat a while ago from another Co, that was the first thing that got replaced immediately..... 😁
BEST HOW TO VIDEO! If your products are half as good, I will own all of them that apply to me!
The SS striker sleeve is a nice part.
Awesome video. Very educational
I just finished this project parts/springs install and also put in a new Powder River trigger. All went well thanks to this video. Can't wait to take it to the range.
Many thanks to MCARBO!
Wow... average 33% reduction in the trigger pull is amazing. I saw at the initial pull it measured 3 lbs. That's pretty light but then it went to 4 to 4.7 lbs. Nice‼️
Most excellent. I enjoyed this video very much.
Please make a good metal trigger, hopefully a Stainless Steel one if possible. Great video and spring kit! Thank You
It was a toss up between Apex and MCarbo kits too bad Galloway doesn't make that kit but this video helped make up my mind. Great video.
Awesome tutorial!!!
Very well presented video.
Great video, your patience in explaining everything in such detail is exemplary, as soon as you make that trigger out of anodized aluminum I will buy your kit so I can do everything at once :-)
Clear and concise as usual, thanks Chris. Can I assume these components will fit the Pro as well?
Going to place an order soon
Very informative. I will try your product and see if it makes a difference. Thanks
great video thx so much!
ordered. As a "Fudd" who has put 50K rounds through my 9mm 1911 and is transitioning to striker fire, I will do ANYTHING to improve the trigger on this damn thing. I don't know how long it will take me to get used to all the creep inherent to striker fired pistols, the clean brake of my 1911 cannot be beat.
Good explanation thx
Lesson learn dont mix up striker spring. 4.25 to 4.5lb trigger with a very crispy reset. Love this kit
Super easy install following a long with the video. Please make a trigger!
thanks for this
I NEED TO DO THE SAME TO MINE, IF I INSTALL THIS DO I NEED TO BUY THE UPGRADE TRIGGER AS WELL. THANKYOU VERY MUCH
Hell cat pro 3.7 in osp, trigger kit and parts, only thing I have issues on the pro, trigger pull is to hard pulls my shots
I just picked up the CA compliant Hellcat Pro a few weeks ago. I installed the M*Carbo striker assembly and trigger safety spring but didn't install the sear spring yet. For me those two items take the trigger pull from 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 lbs down to 5 or 5 1/2 lbs which is great. The problem I have is that the stock trigger safety and trigger does not completely reset all the way back out when I hold the trigger down and rack the slide, then let the trigger go. If I pull the slide off the gun I can manually move the trigger arm in the gun body and it resets the trigger and safety all the way out. If I put the stock striker assembly back in, the trigger safety and trigger resets fully with no problem. So Just wanted to know if anyone else had a problem with the the trigger resetting back out to the full position after installing the M*Carbo striker assembly.
Please make a video about your trigger shoe for Hellcat and how to set up the pre travel....that would be great. Also does this all gonna work on the Hellcat Pro? Thank you
Yes! I’ve seen the guys at MCarbo testing and verifying it.
glad i found this video, the PRP kit is too spendy. thanks for the great product
ok, how about trigger, trigger bar and better pins?
Which Roll punch pin brand do you use? I can’t tell which those are
I love Mcarbo components and kits. You guys do a great job. I've been a master gunsmith/police armorer for 30 years, and since Mcarbo hit the scene it's been my go to kit when possible.
The 25 million dollar question...do you make any kits for the CZ 2075 Rami?
They do, it's the same kit for any cz 75, although I'd highly recommend getting mcarbo spring kit then going to Cajun Gun Works for the rest of the parts. It will make your rami an incredibly accurate fun pistol to shoot and for ccw.
@@unknownunknown3025 thanks! I really appreciate that info. There are so many aftermarket suppliers now it's hard to wade through them. I remember when there were maybe five... 🤗
@@preacherF-15 np, you'll have no problems with install either being an armorer. Is your rami the bd decocker model or b safety? I carried my 75 d pcr for 7 years before the hellcat, did all the installs myself. The sear cage can be a little tricky on the decocker but wasn't awful. Did everything in about 2 hours, mcarbo kit and Cajun Gun Works short reset, reach reduction, and comp hammer. The pistol feels like a $3000 dollar pistol now. Up there with the staccato c2 but 1/5th the price even with upgrades. It really is a great ccw pistol that can do everything.
@@unknownunknown3025 no, I prefer the safety version- i grew up carrying cocked and locked and it's just my preference now. Ive done an old school trigger job and cut the DA in half, lowered the SA to right at 4 lbs, where i like it.
Do you think it would benefit to make the little split spring retainer cups for striker sleeve from stainless as well?
I would like to upgrade my hellcat with this kit I’m just waiting till it includes an upgraded trigger.
It does now! Love it
Have not been able to use the dowel to push and lock the hammer back on the 9 mm version. A gunsmith told me the hammer only locks back on the 40 cal sub, but not on the 9mm.
He said you have to hold the hammer down and slide the bolt over it as your holding it down. Ive done it , but its not easy. Am i missing something?
My take down lever removal for the 1st time was definitely not that easy, had to really pull it out of there almost like it was catching on something
Always great videos. Sub2000 video was very helpful. Just got a Hellcat. Please make a trigger.
Triggers are available now! I love it
Life saver ❤
I would like to polish the extractor, take down lever , slide lock, mag release and the frame pins both sides For looks do you think it would be a problem? I tried to talk to them to see if the parts were SS but they couldn't tell me what material they were made of . Still thinking about it. Wanted your opinion. THANKS
So I watched the Video and was impressed but still a bit confused. My question is, Can I take my brand new Hellcat rdp and install this $59 spring kit and expect to get similar results ? I dont need to purchase other parts etc? Thank you.
Love the stainless upgrade works great Please Please upgrade trigger will make gun 100%
They’re available now, I love it!
Great video but needs to include info on Hellcats equipped with manual safety.
Just installed the kit minus the sear spring, the hogue grip I have on it blocks one of the pins, when I pull the trigger, dry fire, it feels like there is something catching at the start of the take up, but goes away and breaks clean, and doesn't do it all the time, any thoughts
So its cheaper than the Apex tactical AND comes with upgraded striker sleeve? Im sold😃
Wish springfield sold hellcat our of factory like this. To prevent this being used against you in court
And this is the only reason I'm not doing this upgrade. Any type of trigger work is a field day for lawyers. I too wish Springfield would fix plastic part. I'd honestly just buy the plastic part replacement and the rest of the pistol alone.
Finished the whole process and now I’m having some reset issues I believe the sear spring was bent a little bit and isn’t allowing a smooth reset. I contacted customer support on the web site and I’m waiting to hear back. It either the sear spring of the safety plunger spring is too light and not resetting it correctly
Does your hellcat rattle in the firing pin while loaded.
Can we get a updated video with hellcat pro and aluminum trigger?
I’ve contacted them and they have already filmed it and is being edited right now. It will be posted on their website next week.
bro this firing pin spring retainer is an abomination, how the hell did they think this was a good idea. thank you for making a suitable replacement for that pos piece of plastic
