This gun will not feed AT ALL. I first took it apart and cleaned and lubed it as I always do with any new firearm. As you have read from other reviews, I am now going to try to deal with the manufacturer. If it's cheaper to take it to a gunsmith than to ship it, I will go that route. The weapon is absolutely horrible. Do NOT waste your money on this one. I need a backup carry pistol and this one will not be the one that I depend upon. I work in law enforcement and cannot second guess my firearms. Bud's is great and I will continue to purchase from them. Their service is awesome, even during this nationwide gun "crisis".

I purchased 2 at the New Higher price last week. They shot very well as long as you clean and re-oil before you use them. Both seemed Bone Dry when taken out of the box. Nice little conceal weapon for the money. THATS the Last positive I have for the manufacturer. To say that I.O. customer service sucked would be a plus. Trying to get a hold of them is just as impossible as finding EXTRA MAGS. No one has them and their customer support via email can not even suggest when to get extra mags. The guns only ships with one. I would rate the Hellcat II .380 as a 7 but the company I.O. Inc as a - 7. They wont support their own product. No more money from Me!!

I cleaned the pistol out of the box to remove the cosmolime packing grease and oiled to lubricate to fire. The gun fired up to the last shell every time, which jammed every time. This tells me the magizine spring is weak from the factory. I stretched the spring and the jamming continued randomly.I tried to call the factory twice at which time the phone rang until it quit. I emailed with the suggested cause and fix and got an immediate response of " I am the only person here". The sales department and the customer service is the same man. I.E. This gun needs a stronger mag spring, I.O. needs a sales department, and a customer service department, each, and needs to hire people for these positions. IT IS WHAT IT IS.
