Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- The Hellcat grows up! Just released today, this new 9mm Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro comes optics ready, has a longer barrel and longer grip than the original, comes with two 15 round magazines (mags fit original Hellcat) and has holster support right out of the gate. Look for a short update video this weekend, after we are able to take it to the range! This is the table top review.

I love it. This is exactly what we've been asking for since 2019. I'm loving all the upgrades. It's like a Glock 48 with the 15 round Shield Arm mags straight from Springfield and provides some advantages over the P365xl too so it's not going to saturate the market even more.
I didn't care much for the original hellcat. I got lucky and found out about these early and bought one the day they were released. So far, it's a game changer. I can honestly say, I think this is the perfect carry gun
I’m looking down my list of new videos that dropped this morning and I have 8 channels reviewing the Hellcat Pro. I’m starting with yours. Best Regards
Great thorough review as usual. I like my original HC but I might just have to pick one of these up too.
As always great video . Looks like a great gun I will need to have. Thanks
Very nice. Will have to check my local shop and check this out.
I have been looking and looking for my next EDC, I have considered many variants in micro and compact pistols. Some reasonably priced,some way too expensive. Now seems like Springfield have been seriously working on what people are really looking for and Springfield may have just filled an interesting market on this one. Sir, you may have just done a review on my next EDC. Well done as always, you certainly got me sold on this one. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing video! Just the review I was looking for. That’s a sub from me, good sir 👍
The technology is slicker and more compact. Good review 👍
Got one on order. Picked up a G48, ordered SA-15 mags and release. I felt like I had the perfect carry gun. The SA-15 mags proved unreliable and back to the 10 round mags I went. This hits that sweet spot of capacity and size from the factory. I truly can't think of a way it needs improvement. I have an XDM 10mm and have been very impressed with it, so I have no doubt the Hellcat Pro will be a well made pistol. Now I just have to be patient.
This does 'appear to offer something that others don't. Thanks for the video.
I love the Hellcat Pro and will be getting one as soon as it's released in FDE to match my Hellcat. I think this Pro is a better comparison to the M&P m2.0 3.6"barrel 15 round pistol.
thanks you have the best reviews on YT most reliable
Ive got an AREX Delta M gen 2 optic ready that has specs very similar to this except for 4 inch barrel.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
So nice the Hellcat.
Bought one today! Love it
Nice looking gun
I bought a Hellcat Pro today. I love it. Feels great and is very nice shooter. I'm probably gonna carry it daily after making sure it is 100%. I want to fire at least 1000 rounds before it's my EDC pistol. Fits perfect in my Mitch Rosen Glock 43x isw holster
Congratulations. I too bought the Hellcat Pro. If I shoot well with it, it will replace my Glock 19 as my everyday carry. My main consideration was the smaller size for inside the waistband concealment.
Thanks for the feedback. May I ask u if every 48x holster fits the hellcat pro? As the Glock 48x holsters are widely available where I live
@@sultanaljuhani1571 - It fit in the Mitch Rosen holster but it's not a perfect fit.
@@Asidebar thanks for the answer. I bought a perfectly fit holster from Ali express. Chinese made but fits the Hellcat Pro like a glove. Won't trust it to carry with one in the champers though
I love everything the Hellcat Pro has that the Glock 19 don’t! I’ll be getting one and if they release an FDE later I’ll get trade it in for that!
Very nice review. Its better than p365xl?
I have all three love them! I ankle carry one and strong carry other pro! Rdp I just like the look of it!
I’ll stick with my p365 with the 12 round mag converted to 14 rounds with the magguts kit for 15 total rounds with a heck of a lot more conceal ability
I need the web site to buy the holster. If u can put it on the description pls !
Wonder if they addressed the firing pin/Striker problems the first little "cat had?
Some of those were breaking just from dry firing.
I was aware of such a firing pin problem with the earliest p365s, never heard of any similar problem for the H11/HC
It's probably competing with the Glock 48 / SIG P365 XL.
vs the Glock, I’d probably go with the short barrel XDm over this one. sweet trigger though.. nice and crisp.
If this is taking aim at the G19 then does that mean the XD9 is being discontinued?
16 rounds in a pistol that is an inch thick and lighter than some phones I’ve had, the hellcat pro is the best option for concealed carry out right now.
Is the Hex Wasp a better option than the Holosun 507k? My PRO didn’t come with an optic.. obviously I want to buy the best option..
From what I've researched alot of ppl prefer the Holosun over the wasp. Honestly I feel the best option will overall depend on the owner. I'm new to optics so I'm ordering the wasp for now since it fits the hellcat perfectly, Then I'll test Holosun later
Wasp has had issues with the dot staying in the lens. You may want to research that before making your final decision. Until they work that out, I’m sticking with the 507k.
I know this is an old comment, but if you haven’t gotten a red dot yet. Looking into swampfox sentinel. It a beautiful little red dot for around $200. Holosun right now is $300. Holosun is a great option though if you don’t mind spending the extra money.
Great review but Springfield doesn't manufacture these, HS Produkt does. Anyway great review thanks.
Can the Pro “upper” (slide and barrel) be put on the original Hellcat “lower”? Will it fit?
Thanks, very to the point. The Hellcat is NOT exactly cheap, but to get what you pay for.
Would this be a good EDC option for a lady? I've heard the G19 is a common one for women, but I'm pretty small as far as my body type goes, so IDK if I could get away with that one. I've also heard that the slide on the Hellcat is difficult to rack. Just how difficult is it compared to, say, a SCCY CPX-1 (the gun I've had the most trouble with in that department to date)?
This gun is smaller in all dimensions over the G19 and holds the same round count. Hopes this helps
@@demetriushudson1712 I know that it's smaller, but it's also a bit longer. That, and the slide may not be that easy to manipulate. For reference, I've trained with a Ruger Security-9 (about the same size as--if not a bit smaller than--the G19) and have had no real issues manipulating the controls. I have heard that some carry it as well.
Nothing can come out to compare to the new Glock 19 gen 5 fs without the cutout or mos , Ambi slide oh comes with 3 15 round mags , I mean come with more for the price n my hellcat kept messing up on me
@@rosemarsili9159 Go test one
Is this hellcat thinner than the arex delta gen 2?
I'd say it looks like their going after the Sig p365xl.
Glock beat them all when they released the 48 In 2019. It seems like they are playing catch-up.
@@JP-gw3bk its a 10 round snappier G19 wow how revolutionary !
@RedEye but they're all still making one, so...
Now I only wish they would sell the “pro” slide and barrel separately
They make great quality firearms.👍and it’s so close in dimensions to my G19 that I’d wager it’ll fit in my leather holsters.
Agree. HS Produkt in Croatia makes great firearms. Springfield is basically just the importer.
@@KN-op3et Yep, important to state this, give credit where credit’s due. Springfield didn’t “do” or “design” anything, although perhaps the new variations of the H11 pistol, the RDP and Pro, were with SA input
the fact that it’s thinner means it won’t sit well in your leather
In my opinion,this completely trumps the 43x.no need for after market anything.15 rd factory mags out the box
Hard to find OWB level 2 Kydex holsters.
I just don't understand this new optics trend with concealed/carry pistols...
Have you used a pistol with an optic?
Same,I like optics for range toys/hunting but feel they are unnecessary for self defense and makes pistol less concealable
Hey, Striker Fire can you compare it to the Glock 48???🤙🏻🇵🇷💪🏻
smith just announced the m and p 3.6 optic ready 15 rounds forged stainless slide and barrel With a manual safety available msrp $665.00 . not seeing where this gun can compete
The thinness of the Hellcat Pro is its advantage when comparing to the thicker slide of the M&P. Think a better comparison is to the 365 XL, Glock 48 and 4” Shield Plus. However, I think the 3.6 2.0 OR is great, minus the manual safety. Just feels like apples to oranges.
Smith sucks compared to the Hellcat
@@Asidebar Thanks for in-depth opinion. I have 7 Springfield handguns and 5 Smiths. I’m not super hardcore Smith & Wesson. I have a Shield, Shield Plus and the original Hellcat. I like all of them and I’m sure I’ll really like the Hellcat Pro.
Im gonna buy it tomoro i think.
I really think pistols like these will sell. People want a lot of rounds, but not BULK in the grip area.
Seems like a competitor to the 365xl
Competitor to many!

Stuck in limbo if I want the Hellcat OSP or Hellcat Pro 😢
Thorough review as always.
I won't be trading my EDC for one .
(SIG P229 Legion)
Be interesting to see a review comparing with the SIG P365 XL
Dummy if you look up videos about the hellcat pro it’s automatically comparing with the sig 365xL ain’t no one talking about a sig p229 legion dumb ass
Glock 19 "gen5" has an ambi slidestop/release i.e. Glock decided NOT to exclude 11% of the consumers.
Still they didn't upgrade with a ready undercut. Glock knuckle blows
They decided to go with the right way.
Can it run .30m super carry?
compare it to the p365xl
Also shame they didn’t incorporate tritium back sights as well
Gen 5 GLOCK 19 fs without the cutout for me
What's a good holster for this?
I know this is an old comment but I have a crossbreed reckoning holster. I appendix carry it and it’s comfortable and conceals well.
Do they come with 10 round magazines for states that only allowed 10 round mags?
NO they come with 15 round mags.
It's far better than g19.
👍
Mossberg MC2C or Glock 48 much better comparison than Glock 19
Depends on who decides it is better
Glock 19 comes w 3 15 round mags tho
NOT all GLOCK 19's have 3 mags
@@Asidebar gen 5 fs without the cutout comes with 3 mags ,, I said it people
And it's ambi
@@brandonnelson5401 you did not clarify gen 5 in your original post.
👍👍👍👏👏👏
Trigger locks up
Hellcat trigger operates as it is intended. Does not lock up when CORRECTLY pulled. As a gun one you should know you are suppose to pull a trigger not push it sideways.
Really? That's a good trigger??
Not a bad reset??? The take up takes 2 days to hit the wall and the reset is less than desirable. The rest Is ok but even though is a full grip is a snappy gun. No thank you
with similar amounts of practice, i shoot the p365 better than the h11. Shame, because from a just design perspective, the HC/H11 is better (dimensions, ergonomics, extra round, etc)
Thanks HS. Great job. Good info. God bless.
LETS GO BRANDON
2nd!
First!
They’ll beat the glock 19 as soon as they come out with factory 30 mags
Glock 19 all day everyday and twice on Sundays>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Springfield will never get 1$ from me, after the b.s. they pulled 2015/16. Glock or s.w. are the polymer kings anyways
I really don't care..im buying 2...🤣
Springfield nor I care you don't buy one. I bought the Hellcat Pro an dit's the best.
Nope! That’s a hard pass for me. Springfield couldn’t give me a free gun even if they tried. The Springfield company and its leadership can kick rocks and pound sand.
Lol okay buddy
@@rowdyghost4713 ahh thanks Rowdy. I was really just waiting for your reply. You’re the best boo-boo 😘
@@futhermucker1 no problem mr. I’m too good for that 😂 if your life relied on it I can bet everything you would pick up a Springfield😂
@@rowdyghost4713 Seriously, how is that comment even relevant?
@@futhermucker1 about as irrelevant as your initial post I’m just playing the game
