Nice but... - Tyrant CNC Hellcat/Hellcat Pro Trigger Shoe

I've had my Hellcat for 3 or 4 years now and I've never cared for how "gritty" the take up on the stock trigger felt but it was never bad enough to do anything about. Then a couple weeks back I shot someone else's HC that had a different trigger shoe and after just one mag, I had already decided my trigger was being replaced.

The price here was way better than on Tyrant site so I pulled the trigger, pun intended. Was really easy to install following the video on Tyrant site. It looks sharp. It feels good. Most importantly, it feels so smooth on the take up and has a very audible reset. For these reasons, I very generously give 3 stars and still recommend - see end of review.

The bad. Maybe this is partially my fault for not thinking to use loctite to begin with, but at the same time, you'd think before going to market Tyrant would have done some testing and fixed the issues or at the very least put loctite on the safety screw and provide some loctite for the other. Since I was only going over to the range for function testing I loaded up 3 mags, 17, 15 and 13 rounds. I didn't even get through all 35 rounds before the trigger wouldn't pull anymore. Didn't take long to realize that the screw I'd tightened down until I was afraid the allen key would snap had backed out pretty far, literally a couple more turns and I think it would have completely fallen out, and the screw for the trigger safety had also backed out a little. Luckily I always carry a set of allens with me and I fixed it right there but even just finishing off the last 15 rounds or so and they had started backing out again even though I wrenched them down as tight as I could.

I hope they reconsider what they called an "intelligent design decision" and either loctite the trigger safety screw and update the instructions to loctite the connecting screw on install or redesign how they are doing the pins altogether, like going back to standard roll pins. That said, I do still think that this is a good replacement for the stock trigger shoe and recommend it, but learn from my experience and use a little loctite when installing so you don't have to go back and redo it or worse, have one completely fall out.
