Bellicose

[BrianB73]

Does anyone else have a bellicose that had the blade holder come out of the hilt after several minutes of fighting?

I don’t fight with mine but spin with it.  I Wii’s try drilling another home for another retention screw to firmly secure it

If you're doing anything with a lot of bashing it will loosen the screw after a while. Make sure it's very tight before you start and just know that you will have to tighten again every so often. It's nothing wrong with the saber itself. It's why I always carry a set of Allen Keys in my saber bag (I'm actually the go-to person in my classes for when people need to tighten their retention screws because of heavy hitting).

On another note, this is probably in the wrong section. If a moderator moves, I'm sure you could get more replies.

Lady Revan is right - you need to tighten the screw hard to lock the blade holder in place, and re-tighten it if it starts to come loose again.

I appreciate knowing this as my Bellicose will be here Saturday.

Enjoy your new Bellicose!
Thank you, I have been enjoying it a little too much. Hence the blade holder coming out.

Let me know if the second retention screw works for you. I might try that myself.

I was doing a lot of bashing with it. I don't think it was all that tight to begin with as after I tightened it back down the color went from a yellow-orange to a true orange color.

Enjoy it.
I have that as my newest one and I love it.  My first purchase was the Consular and shockingly in consular green. That was one I was sure I wanted.
I got my wife a Manticore in Blazing red after the Consular.
The Manticore I was on the fence about but it's a really nice saber. The only issue I have using it is the bottom edge of the emitter digs into my hand a little after a while of fighting with it. 
No issues what so ever with the Consular. Of the 3 the Bellicose is the lightest. The green is really nice and Green is not my favorite color. The Blazing Red is the best color of the 3 in my opinion.
Blue , Orange and Yellow are my favorite colors so my next one will have to be in blue.
Good luck with your Bellicose. Also I hope you ordered a retention screw as the size for the blade holder is different than the screws for the blade.

I did and it wasn't too tight out of the box. My wife's daughter and I were playing with them when the blade started to feel wobbly and stopped after I tightened it into place the color actually changed from bright yellow-orange to a true orange, which was weird.
