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!

[@47MasoN47]

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!

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!!

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. 👍🏼😎👍🏼

[@driedjello]

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!!!

[@driedjello]

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!

[@cymanca]

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.

[@12ollin47s]

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.

[@zacksmathers2689]

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!

[@chrisgualtieri]

I’m getting a Hellcat soon and buying this upgrade is a no brainer. Thanks for showing us what to polish too!

[@TartanJack]

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.

[@nickl8830]

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

[@rayfranchi1507]

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!!!!

[@mikewilliams719]

Great video, great product, exactly what my Hellcat Pro needed.

[@greglambrecht1086]

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.

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.

[@tillman002000]

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.

[@driedjello]

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.

[@freedomspeech9523]

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.

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

[@frednachbaur9222]

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.

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?

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.
