I just purchased the Hellcat and shot the gun for the first time today. I had to sell my P365 in order to get this but after holding the gun in the shop and seeing the feedback on youtube I felt it was reasonable to take the chance. Have to say the experience was amazing. The trigger is much better that the Sig and the grip is just a bit more stout. I really like the sights (all this is of course subjective) and after a flawless 150 rounds I can't wait to shoot it again. It's off to find an in the waist holster next. Thinking of selling the glock 29 next to pick up a witness polymer compact 10mm. Like the idea of double to single action on a carry (won't hurt to have the extra couple of rounds ). I find the semi 10mm as the perfect carry pistol for bowhunting protection. If anyone knows much about shooting the hard cast bullets through the witness I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Cheers

Intrigued. I have a mod 2 SC that is crazy accurate for it's size. Trigger is a little squishy but doesn't seem to hurt the accuracy. I'll have to check out the Hellcat.

I just got a Hellcat. I was debating between this and the P365 which was $20 dollars cheaper. The P365 grip felt too small and the sights were not that good. The Hellcat fit my hand much better and the sights are on another level compared to the std P365. The P365 trigger felt a tad bit better though.

I plan on hitting the range in the next couple of days. We'll see how she shoots.

I called Springfield about +P+ ammo and they said it's ok. Just test it out and see how it goes. They said +P should have no issues.

Anyone see any Shield RMRSC's on the internet for the hellcat? I got a hellcat recently too and would like to run a red dot but seems like all the micro/compacts are sold out

So I just bought a 365xl on the recommendationof a buddy. Just out of curiosity, for those not liking the regular 365, did you try the xl? What did you think. I know its tough to get your hands on right now. I agree the 365 felt a little small if if you go with the base platform.

A buddy bought a hellcat recently and I was impressed with how it felt in hand. Haven’t shot yet, but I compared side by side with my 43 and seriously contemplating switching.

The 9mm Hellcat felt pretty good in the hand. The trigger can be better right out of the box, but as long as your pistol fundamental is good, this gun is fun to shoot with a red dot.

However, the RMRcc doesn't fit the slide on the optic ready slide, so if you want to mount the RMRcc, you gonna have to go with the standard slide and mill it.

They have some resources here:
