I have the Hellcat Pro. Instead of me, saying all of the great things that I love about the HCP. Witch is a lot. What I don't like? Nothing!!! This is the first time that I'll purchased a pistol. Out of all the pistols I've owned and I couldn't find one thing wrong with it. I'm super happy I made the purchase 😊
I have the original Hellcat and the Hellcat Pro. Both are perfection for me. They are the only EDC guns that I did not have to make any additions or changes on.
Got my HC pro last year, replaced the trigger with an Apex3, installed DPM recoil reduction springs and added a TLR7 sub by Streamlight. Love it, have several thousand rounds thru it with no hiccups. Switch between the HC pro and my Canik MC9 mete. both great tools.
@@mantislife7463 using a Cyelee cat pro. may be switching to another Holosun. It just started acting wonky after a couple thousand rounds. shoot n dot went out, shoot again and it comes back on. I don't need a part time dot. LOL
@@tedross2424 I've read mixed reviews about the Cyelee's. The Holosun seems like the best value, it's just a bummer they wont mount directly to the slide without custom milling. I think Apex is making ported slides though and im sure they'll fix that issue with the rmrc
@@mantislife7463 yeah I run a Holosun 407k green dot on my Canik MC9 its been perfect. I agree with you on the slide cut. One guy on UA-cam actually mounted a holosun without the plate. I like to cowitness my sights just in case. with the plate, I don't thinks its gonna happen
I'm a owner of the Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro. I have also checked out the Springfield Hellcat. I probably think they are about the basic same fell in your hand. I prefer the 365 X-Macro. However I am a Springfield fan bc I own a Springfield 10mm xdm. But in all honesty I prefer carrying my Glock 43x Mos to the Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro. It holds 2 less rounds but it's, lighter and I have never had one problem with my Glock and I've put at least 1500 rounds though it. I'm picky about my edc fot one day my life may depend on it.
@@watchyoutube9553 I've had no problems with the shield arms mags. And I've put at, least 1500 rounds through it. Idid change my mag release to steel also however. It's earned my trust and that's all that matters. My Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro comp has had 2 issues within 1000 rounds however.
I recommend the PSA mags over the shield arms. There's a little adjustment work required to use both but the PSA mags are closer to OEM than shield arms
PRO's - lightweight for IWB carry - good erogonomic feel - easy to stay on target CON's - NO grip extender for 10 rd mag available( Big need) - Trigger Sloppy - Rear sight is not a glow. Been waiting now 13 weeks for the free "Gear-up deal" to arrive. (Cust svc said they are massive backlog and awaiting for Viridian to send them the RFX11 green dot and Springfield says they now have no ETA when to expect your free "Gear-Up" offer. I smell a massive class action suit looming
I got a hellcat pro back in September of 2022. Been carrying it daily since and love it. Decked mine out with a holosun 507k, apex threaded barrel, some rubber talon grips, tlr7x light, night vision irons and a fresh backplate. I am eventually looking to swap out my extractor and trigger. Honestly by that point its just a fun gun. Wouldnt wanna get that piece taken after over $1600 invested
@@mattneilsen2272 I got the c&h precision plate. I mean it still able to cowitness but to clean up the edges I would've probably had it milled bc I don't plan on replacing it with another optic
I've only been able to hit the range a couple of times since owning mine, but im thinking the couple accuracy problems I'm having aren't the guns fault lol.
I just shot both the hellcat pro and the glock 43x today. I really like the hellcat pro and want to buy it but I'm hitting targets further and easier with the glock than the hellcat pro. I'm not a glock guy and have never owned a glock but I'm buying the 43x mos because of the performance I had today. Everyone is different. I'll unfortunately have to spend extra money to make the glock as good as the hellcat feel and capacity wise but you can't fix accuracy and performance issues
The only thing I could say is it's a bit snappy but added the gas pedal. Also I wish they made a flat trigger like the P365 has, those triggers are more comfortable for me.
I went and looked at one of these today, everything about it was great. Unfortunately I can't recommend it to any other left handed shooters out there. When the slide locks back the slide can't be manually pulled back to charge it. You have to chamber a round via the slide release.
Not sure where you're getting that from, that is 100% false. I never use the slide release on any handgun I always manually rack the slide back. You are either a liar or don't know what you're doing when using guns
@@atomicpsych0 My comment was specific to the Helllcat pro, not all guns. My M17 also doesn't allow you to manually rack the slide when the mag goes dry. It's specific to particular guns..stop talking out of your ass..
@cold711 you didn't say when the mag runs dry, you said you have to chamber a round with the slide release. That is false on all striker fired guns. The slide locks on an empty mag of course but thats not what you said. Your comment implies that when you have rounds in the mag that it cannot be racked back to chamber which is not true. Soooo I'm not talking out of my ass buddy you just don't know how to articulate what you're trying to say
😂😅😂😅 Ok? And so ... what? Does that mean it isn't a great gun? Can you name a single firearm maker who doesn't source components for each of its products from abroad?
@@Titoscudd LOL it was a simple statement of fact. OP said it was designed by Springfield and I simply corrected what was said. Never said anything bad about Springfield. If that’s how you read it then your comprehension is lacking.
I own a hellcat osp and a pro as a well as an Echelon. Love all of them and have my basis covered. Oh, the pro is not a micro compact and I have 15 rd mags for my hellcat osp. You are misleading the public. Shame on you. You need to do better homework before releasing videos.
Hellcat pro was the first gun I ever owned. The only thing I hate about it was the 15 round magazine. The gun didn't fit right in my hand. Then they came out with a 17 round magazine and problem solved. I own three guns from springfield, and I love every last one of them. I own xdm elite 10mm compact a hellcat pro and echelon.

Thank you😊
I need/want the same set of sights but suppressor height or just taller to co witnesses better…anybody know of any?
Nice video
In my experience the OG Hellcat OSP is just as capable of using all of the Hellcat Pro magazines (no grip extensions necessary).
is this your real voice? sounds like digital voice
Wow chat gpt goes crazy
Ted from line45 voice is a canned voice. Video was probably made by a guy with a squeaky voice
I’m not even 20 seconds into this video and the AI voice has already fucked up too many words 😂 it’s just putting emphasis on the wrong syllable lol
Springfield didnt design anything... This along with most of their firearms are imported from Croatia and is designed by HS Produkt
😂😅😂😅

You need to do your homework before calling the pro a micro compact.
" The original Hellcat only has 13 + 1. "
That's all lol... So funny
