I like the idea, since it is probably not hard to implement so it shouldn't cost much to add. I will say that playing around with my p365, you can fire it while pressing it into soft material all up until it is pointed slightly downward, at which point the slide on the Hellcat would get pushed back as well. I think it's use is pretty limited, but still nice to have.

All modern striker fired pistols are safe to dry fire without worry of damage. Most manufacturers recommend dummy rounds of some sort or snap caps, if you'll be regularly dry firing; this is just a safety precaution for the firing pin. Just don't forget to be safe about it. Keep all live ammo out of the area, always keep your dummy rounds/snap caps obviously separate from live rounds, and still always practice safe trigger and muzzle discipline.

Said in video, "Its (the Hellcat) not exactly the same (as the XD series), its very much a refinement of that". To me & if you look, the Springfield Hellcat has *more* Glock-like features & *less* XD-like features. So to be honest here, "very much a refinement of that." is really saying *very much MORE like a Glock.* Similar to what Mossberg did with their second ever handgun in a 100 years the MC1 = it is really a Glock 43 clone. Just saying. NOTE: I won't get into the Springfield betrayal, I will not even mention it, nope pretend I never said betrayal. *EDIT:* Besides the Glock-like features (inside & out) my negatives: - High bore axis = snappy (many reviews say this gun is snappy) - A little high price ($559) - It is a new model. *Never buy generation one of anything.* - The SIG P365/P365 SAS has a huge edge over the Hellcat in quality, style, & shootability. Hellcat Pros - It is small - I love the U-notch sights personally - I think it is reliable since it is from the XD--series of guns. God bless
