I carry the Hellcat Pro. Perfect size for concealability and it’s accurate.
The Pro is AMAZING. The fit is next level. I have L/XL hands and it’s nothing short of great. My wife has medium hands and she shoots it awesome as well. I’ve seen a lot of tiny people shoot the Pro without fault.
I carry the same
Same. i was surprised how well i shot the pro. I'm so happy about the 17rd mags. Only problem is i really want an echelon and hellion 20' too. Guess I better start working my ass off.
What type of holster do you use?
@@RadDadisRad do you do a lot of target practice ? Just wondering because I don't know if I get enough practice or not or if it's my age I've been dropping down in my shooting.its not as good as I once was or maybe I wasn't as good as I thought it was lol
For you regular Hellcat owners, the 17 round mag will take the grip sleeves from the Hellcat 15 round magazines and work beautifully.👍
Well that's good to know. See you later... I've got shopping to do.
Yep!! I have done the same with my Hellcat..But mostly carry my Hellcat Pro now w/the 17rd mag
Yeah when they first came out I got the micro, I would take the flush plate and sleeve off the 15rd mag and put the 13rd baseplate and sleeve on which is +2 making it 17+1
1st comment answers the very first question that pops in my head.
Cheers.
@@OmegaGamingNetwork 🍻
Just got home two hours ago with my 1st CC handgun. That just so happened to be a Hellcat Pro with those 17 round mags.
Lol I went and picked up the hc pro and literally a day later he released the top 5 cc guns. Same thing happened to me
Good choice, it's better than the P365 or G43X.
What state?
@@philliptorres4300 Nevada
That’s what I’m about to buy for my first!!
I picked up a Hellcat pro last year with 5 mags and a range bag $549 online can’t beat a deal like that and it’s my everyday carry
$549? Is it made in China?
@@treytucker5619 just got back from my local shop. springfield has a promotion going on for hellcat and hellcat pro with 3 extra mags, range bag and optic. ends oct 31
I'm writing a female character and I needed a compact handgun for her to carry. I recently discovered the Hellcat 9millie during my research but I promised myself I wouldn't set it in stone that this would be her pistol until Mr. Noir did a review--and we're off!
The Walther PDP is more sexy for artwork tbh but the hellcat isn’t a bad choice to draw either. If I’m right, Faye Valentine from Bebop carries a Glock.
I bought the RDP version of the original Hellcat. Carry it every day and love it. I'm 6'5, and have rather large hands, and honestly had the Hellcat Pro come with the same features (threaded barrel, compensator, and hex dragonfly or SMSC red dot) I would have snagged it. Either way, with the 15 round mags, I have no issue maintaining purchase on the gun.
I’m 6’5” too, I just picked up my pro. It’s the only gun that comfortably fits my hands, but doesn’t make me feel like I’m sacrificing concealabilty.
My RDP has ran great on all ammo and SA gave me 7 mags with it. I'm glad it came out before the Shadow Systems CD920P because that seems to have some issues and picky on ammo. Being left handed I don't have slide malfunctions on the micro pistols from ridding the slide but the SS has had issues that seem to be more then just user error.
6’3” and I also have no problems with the original hellcat it shoots great
I liked my standard Hellcat so much I bought a Pro when they were released.. The standard still runs perfectly after God knows how many rounds.
I inexcusably have never cleaned my hellcat. Sucker has yet to jam on me knock on wood. Planning to clean it soon but have said that many times over the last few years. This time I actually will tho.
@@waimeagavin808Did you end up cleaning it yet?
@@PinkPenguinKing no lol now I have a pile of other guns need cleaned as well from my last range trip.
Springfield knows how to make guns. And they innovate when they don’t have to. Always striving for a more complete package in a gun. 🇺🇸
They import proven croatian guns and add their branding to claim them without most consumers knowing the exclusive importation deal keeps them from being cheap as Turkish guns.
This gun is designed and made by HS Produkt, in Croatia...
I see the 17 round mag as a spare magazine. The Hellcat pro is shorter in the grip than the Glock 19. I'd want to keep that for carry. But having a 17 round spare would be nice (as would using it for HD non carry situations, as you state.)
Love my Hellcat pro, especially with the new 17rd mags
I bought 2 the day they came out. Made my range time even more fun.
What holster do you wear with it?
JX Tactical Fat Guy Holster
@Post_Tenebras_Lux_ I wear the Druid from rounded concealment. SUPER comfortable, ambidextrous, and has a built in wedge. Plus it's made specifically for the gun that you select. Even has the name of the gun on the holster.
@@mongop177Thanks
I have two Hellcats, but just bought the Pro on Black Friday for the wife. She loves it and it fits her perfectly. Not to mention it was $200 off. I had her fill out the docs and she got an early Xmas gift. Now it's her own firearm.
my girl just bought me one for christmas to lol its crazy to me how glock could be so popular when theres firearms like this being produced
How much you paid
@@deepb249 My girl bought mine for 750 but mine was on sale and it came with a viridian green dot and viridian light, a threaded barrel and 4 steel mags
tried to buy my wife a pistol in local gunshop and got refused for strawman purchase lol. they have lost lots of sales since. ive bought many from other places and will never return to their place
@@redram6532 geez, that FFL is dumb and doesnt know that you can literally buy a firearm as a gift for a friend or family member smh i hope they continue to lose business.
Put a DPM recoil reduction spring in the Hellcat and it’ll take shooting comfort to another level.
I'm trying to get one because I have developed carpal tunnel in my left hand
Does the recoil reduction spring affect accuracy????
From what I've seen on 360tactical channel, it doesn't. He also has his slide and barrel ported by Floyd's customs. I'm actually thinking of having the same thing done on my own Hellcat Pro. Tired of my compensator trying to walk off.
No, I have not noticed it affecting accuracy at all.
I love the information that you give about the guns. The one thing that’s missing is the affordability of each gun when you’re comparing it would be nice to know what you’re looking at spending.
Hellcat is expensive. But worth it
@@johnrice1943 Middle of the road, but can be expensive depending what you do to it. Shield Plus 4" PC model runs about $779 after rebate, Kimbo R7 Mako Tactical is running $950 or some nutty price like that with threaded barrel and optic, and my HCP 4.4" threaded barrel with added comp cost me $687. Add a Holosun 407k and it's about $910 which is on par or cheaper than some of these others. P 365 Xmacro comp for example with optics will be like $1100.
Yes, there are a LOT of choices for a small, yet high round count semiauto pistol. My first carry gun was full sized 1911. My small gun was a 5 shot S&W j-frame. Yes, we have come a long way.
💯! I actually still carry the j frame/ sw model 36 now..I live in AZ so during the summer I need the lightest and smallest gun possible without sacrificing thin clothes wear 😎
@cyber5677 Yes, I live in South Texas. I carry one a lot. We joke and say we have three seasons, cool, hot, and Africa Hot!
@@sisleymichael 🍻!
@@sisleymichael : Nah, there are only 2 seasons hot & extra hot. One week of cool/cold weather per year doesn't count.
I have a bunch of the +4 basepads from PRP. Clear grip tape on the side of the basepad is a game changer. I’m sure I could get it stippled instead.
Still to this day the Hellcat RDP and Pro are my favorite pistols for concealed carry 🤙🔥
Just bought the hellcat pro, with threaded barrel, veridian green dot, and veridian flashlight. Came with 4 15 round mags, (Colorado won’t allow 17 round mags) Black Friday sale. 699. Absolutely love it! The fit and finish, the feel in the hand. What a pistol! Excellent purchase. Will replace my ruger security 9 carry gun.
CO won’t allow 17 but 15 is ok? What an odd law!
@@annak9097 yeah, we call it CALirado. Hasn’t been Colorado since they legalized pot. Full of liberals now.
I live in Colorado, just went to the guns store tonight & held the hellcat pro with 17 round mag!
They definitely allow it 👍🏻
@@alexandriaglynn4025 sorry. You are wrong. Only privately owned gun shops will sell them. Places that follow the laws will not allow it. Read the law for yourself. Sportsman’s warehouse / cabelas / bass pro shop etc will not sell them because they are not legal.
Colorado prohibits magazines that hold more than 15 rounds of ammunition, a law that was enacted in the wake of the 2012 Aurora movie theater mass shooting. The Colorado Supreme Court upheld the law in 2020 when RMGO brought a lawsuit against it in state court.
After watching your video I got the Hellcat Pro with threaded barrel and Swampfox Red Dot and I love it.
Agreed on all points. Over 1500 rounds through my HC Pro and not one malfunction. Crimson Trace Rad Micro Pro green dot sight. Alabama Pocket Holster. Perfection.
I have both the P365 X Macro and Hellcat Pro. I find myself carrying the Hellcat more often and prefer the stainless-steel magazines. I wasn't aware of the 17 round factory mags and will pick some up for increased capacity. I wish they were flush fit but will serve a purpose.
If you have several spare mags just get a 13rd baseplate thats all it is
Ive been running them that way since i bought the pro a few weeks after it was released since i had several 13rd mags for the original hellcat
Nice work as always sir. I have a Hellcat Pro that I will be picking up today that came as a “Gear Up” package. (3) 15 round mags + (2) 17 round mags + a range bag. I can’t wait to put a Holoson green dot on it as this will be my concealed carry gun. I just wanted to say keep up the great work Mr Noir as we love you in Louisiana. Thanks!
My wife and I both carry the Hellcat and love it greatly.
I have wanted to like Glock, owning 3 of them, but have never found one that really fit my hand. Picked up a Hellcat Pro and it instantly fit. Now it is my EDC. Carry with the 15 round mag and a 17 round backup.
Colion summed up my concealed carry experince to a T, when I got my first pistol it was the glock 19 because of capacity and it was "comcact". Then the hellcat came out and I decided it was the pefect gun. 12 rounds was my minimum id carry and the hellcat fit perfect for that. I skipped the RDP aswell and then the hellcat Pro came out. The pro to me has the perfect grip size for me and has 15 rounds. I also carry a spare mag with a +4 having 35 rounds on my person with the smaller platform of the Hellcat Pro is the goldilocks zone for me.
Avoided the Hellcat Pro for the Sig P365XL which I then upgraded to an XMacro grip module to achieve the 17+1 capacity
You do realize that you don't need an XMacro grip to use the 17 mag. The 17 round mag comes with a sleeve so a normal short P365 can use it and have a full large grip with no gap. Seriously I think Sig fanboys just love spending extra cash on options they don't really need just for the fun of it. Owning striker Sigs is turning out to be more expensive than owning a Gucci-Glock.
Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that I could swap to an XMacro grip. I have the P365 XL, however, does Wilson Combat make a grip module? Hmmm
You can also get tactical development base pads which add +2 and +4 to the 17 round mags. Game changer 🤯
I want this! I'm a 62 y/o woman who just took a class at a range to be prepared to safely use my new S&W Shield EZ 380. I love it because it racks so nicely for my old-lady hands, but I wish it held more rounds.
I was surprised at how easily the HCP racked when I looked at one a few weeks ago. I'm 70 this month with very little "pinch" that's pain-free for slide racking. The HCP even had a useable Slide Release to help with reloads(even though as a lefty it's on the wrong side)🙃
I looked at the hellcat pro, but got the Sig P365 X Macro. Love it
Good choice. Lot more options with the P365 platform.
@@Osprey1994 - The Hellcat is more reliable though, I've yet to see any P365 shoot 1000 rounds with no issues and there's video of a Hellcat shooting 10K rounds in one day all in one video take with only 2 or 3 ammo related issues, that's very impressive because not even the military Sig M17 & M18 can do that.
@@Osprey1994i agree. The bore axis on the hellcat is for shit.
@@reachblowsdick7222 2k round through my XL, 5 different types of ammo, no issues
@@LethalMayo - The bore axis on any P365 is shit compared to a G43X. The P365 is super picky about ammo while the Hellcat and G43X are not. I know this from personal experience, Sig themselves told me NEVER use aluminum or steel case ammo on the P365 and yes even "some" JHP ammo caused the P365 to have cycling issues, meanwhile the Hellcat and G43X didn't care and ate every cheap crap to expensive +P ammo I threw at it.
I went from Glock 33 to Glock 19 to Hellcat Pro.I love this gun.this is my new daily carry.
My wife bought a Hellcat OSP that she carries daily. I was very impressed with it.
Xmacro is the best cc in my opinion. I’ve tried many and the trigger, capacity and slim frame and grip are the best of all worlds.
I have only held one of those once and it felt like it belonged in my hand, I’ve held many glocks kimbers Walthers the xmacro felt like it was home in my hand
Yup, and you can easily change things if you need to.
Xmacro and PSA's micro dagger with integral comp'd slide are literally the best conceal carry guns under 800. Did you know @Contingency, if you use your Staccato XC in a self defense situation you are only covered up to $1000 for replacement if you use any of these insurance scams? So have fun shelling out another $4300 lmao.
Tactical development makes a flat faced adjustable trigger for the p365 line.
Love my Xmacro.
Had Springfield , glocks, s&w , ruger (huge ruger fan), and walthers as my carry, but over all, I'll take any of the caniks as my daily carry everyday the trigger is best on the market and accuracy is amazing compared to the others....
I have 2 Caniks and love them, but the Canik trigger is not one you want to have in a CCW when the SHTF and you dump a load of adrenaline. I much prefer the HC Pro as a CC W.
I will be adding a Hellcat Pro to my carry rotation when funds permit. I have the original Hellcat and like it a lot. Great shooter and I carry it often. The option to have a 17 round magazine is awesome.
I carry a Hellcat Pro everywhere, every day. Love it! This possibly makes it a one pistol to do it all, for a bunch of people.
I also carry the Hellcat Pro with 17 round mags. I also shoot it very well! It’s not a full size XDM, which shoots amazingly at 75 yards, but it’s not that far off, and it’s also not on a drop leg holster.
Who needs to shoot 75 yards in real life?
@@philliptorres4300, hopefully no one, in self defense, but it's always fun to stretch your abilities!
I like the hellcat pro a lot. I went with the xmacro because I already had a p365 so only needed to buy the grip frame and magazines to switch to the larger size. If I was buying my first ever handgun with a do all role in mind, it would be the hellcat pro.
After watching your video I upgraded to a Hellcat Pro with the treaded barrel Love it.
I grew up in a different time than you. I was on the worst beat you can imagine as a cop with a model 64 S&W, 6 shots, and two 6 round speed loaders, and a 5 round model
60 on my ankle. To this day I feel
well armed with a Night Hawk Commander in .45 ACP, 7plus one in the chamber. I might be the opposite of a capacity whore. Great video as usual
whore, I always felt first shots on target won most gun fights. Great video as usual, thank you
first shots on target will win against 1 maybe two but if theres multiple you need every round you can get
LOVE your video’s. I picked up a Hellcat Pro and it worked so well I decided to try a FDE Hellcat OSP. I was expecting a snappy pistol but for me I found it to be fun and comfortable to shoot . My Hellcats are not ammo sensitive , they work with any ammo I’ve tried. I like that the magazines are stainless, easily load to full capacity and can be inserted into the pistol without any drama. That included the 17 round mags. I also like the mag extensions , they fit well and don’t pinch my fingers while shooting etc.
My Hellcat is the FDE OSP version like yours. I love it, great shooter and not that bad as far as being snappy. It's no worse than any other gun in this platform.
Your video sold me on the Hellcat, Im not a big person so its nice to be able to carry something that has good capacity without feeling like im carrying a cannon.
Great video, love the information and the humor injected throughout. Thanks!
I’ve carried Hellcat Pro ( 10 round clip here in NY) for 6 months in a belly band and love it. I have rather large hands and it fits comfortably.
We use MAGS in Maryland, you should try 'em!
@@charlesbeall2589 I stand corrected, mags.
@@charlesbeall2589 slang term.
Love my regular hellcat. Like I’m sure we all do when I just look at it it’s such a solid firearm. I chose it over the p365 and still have no regerts
I carry the Hellcat Pro. Dropped an Apex trigger in it with a Holosun red dot.. I still carry my Shield Plus, PDP and OG Hellcat at times too. The pro is a good shooter and very concealable. And currently carry it the most
Yes that Apex trigger kit puts it on another level. I put the Apex trigger in with the springs it came with (firing pin spring & trigger reset spring) I get consistent 5lb trigger pull and 900rds no failures of any kind. Love the HC Pro, I have the Macro to but the HC Pro just feels much better quality. It's more than just the feel if you look at the internal parts everything that should be polished is polished like the feed ramp, trigger bar, sear etc.. not to mention the slide finish, the Sig 365 and variants slide finish is pretty bad just look at it in the store while the Hellcat finish is solid very solid. It all adds up the HC Pro is just a better pistol
I didn't like the original Hellcat it was snappy compared to all others that size I don't know why but it is, also the standard Hellcat magazine extension just loved to pinch the heck out of my pinky finger. The Pro is the Pro for a reason just so much better, not snappy and no grip issues.
Love my HellCat Pro with the 17rnd mags
Glock 43x with the shield arms 15 round flush magazine is an absolute game changer for what you're looking for
Never shot the hellcat pro but I’m loving my p365 macro!
And you’re right about those new to this industry (me), so many excellent options right now
I went with the Hellcat over the 365 due to how hard it is to find magazines for the 365, not to mention sig mags are way over priced for what they are. Hellcat doesn't have as much aftermarket support, however I'm into heavily modifying a gun other than the trigger and sights.
I hope you’re not also heavily into blaming the the gun for failures after you’ve heavily modified it.
@@AFreeThinkingDawg09you’re right. Should have stuck with Sig so you could have the malfunctions without even modifying. Strikers breaking, not drop safe, striker drag, pin breakage, more ammo sensitive. I have 3k rounds through my hellcat with apex trigger, true precision barrel, quad micro comp, holosun 407k, different lights from tlr to Olight, and all sorts of mags from stock, to springer precision base plates, hyve, and a few others. Not a single malfunction before or after any of the mods with any ammo from under powered 115 grain to 148 grain +p underwood hardcast. The hellcat does everything better than the Sig other than modularity. The Sig is cool don’t get me wrong but I’d never trust any Sig outside of the p226.
@AFreeThinkingDawg09 No I'm just a dude with a limited budget 😂😂
@thorshammer5134 you just made me feel so much better about my purchase 😂😂
I just found out u can put 17rd mag on the regular hellcat. The gap can be fixed by removing the bottom grip from the 15 rounder and just stack it on the 17 rounder. Makes for a hell of a great fit!
@@thorshammer5134... Thank you!
I've been pounced upon many times for speaking out against the 365's "idiosyncrasies."
BTW...I own 4 Sigs and I would trust them for protection of my life any day.... But, the newest one I own was manufactured in 1990.
The hellcat pro was my first gun I bought it when I saw your review
A 17 round mag for the Hellcat Pro?? Time for an upgrade.
I love my Hellcat Pro. I have the HCP9379FOSP-15 9mm in desert FDE. For one it's nice looking, and that is important to me, I Don't Like An Ugly Gun. lol. And it's the perfect balance between concealability and capacity. So it looks good, feels good, conceals good, shots good, and shots a lot! To me, that makes it kinda perfect. 😎
The 17 rd mag was a known thing before it came out. You just use the base plate of the 13 rd mag of the smaller hellcat and put it on the hellcat pro’s 15 rd mag.
I'm generally a Springfield guy, especially pistols. I personally like carrying a .40, and had a XD .40 subcompact which I loved. I used it for a trade in for my FNS .40 and I dig it. It's still not the XD, but I do dig it. My 2nd edc fave is my Hellcat Pro, and I tend to carry it almost half of the time. I've been looking for a threaded barrel for it though, and now... I know what to look for! Thank you Colion Noir!!
Your videos are a blessing and exactly what the doctor ordered. I find your perspective to be complimentary. Aces and kudos!
I EDC between a Palmetto Rock(5.7x28) or Dagger(G19 clone). Don't judge me. It'd be interesting to see what you think of those even if they're "we have FN/Glock at home." The Rock conceals very well with a nerd holster, has very low recoil, and carries 23 rounds. So I prefer carrying that one.
I like Springfield before they were cool. The p365 was the first micro I shot when the hellcat dropped, I rented it. I noticed instantly the hellcat was snappier than the p365. So that finalized my decision to buy a p365. We are talking the originals here. But the xmacro looks and feels great.
I rented both of them and went with the 365 because the Hellcats trigger was trash which was disappointing because I loved the Hellcat sight
I like the fact that you covered some accessory options and version options that other videos don't present. Still I would like to see some active data showing reliability by fast dumping several clips and a controlled accuracy study at 25yds.
I absolutely love my RDP. I shoot it well enough without a red dot I'm having a hard time deciding whether I want to run one on it.
If you're witting what you want to hit, when you want to hit it, then skip the optic. Smaller and sleeker is better
It’s only longer when you have the 17 mags in it anyway. The flush fit 15s make it smaller and thinner than the Glock.
I want a new EDC but don't have the mula for one atm lol but when I do I'll definitely look into these thanks for the info on them!!
Just got my pro today! I did not realize there was a threaded barrel 17 cap version. I got mine in dark tan. I’m in love with it
I recently bought and started carrying my hellcat pro and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase
In the future, could you also add what they MSRP for 🤔
Funny enough colion is the reason im buying a hellcat pro for my conceal carry 😅plus my g17 is way too dam big 😂
Ive been carrying mine with the aluminum extensions from hyve for +3. No complaints or malfunctions so far.
Love ya and your opinions,. I get why you constantly say "home protection" it's not. I may have to defend my home but 20ft is my deepest. Gas station I might get called out 20yrds. We never know because you might have to fire 2' or 70yrds.
I bought a G3c a year & change ago and love it but I'm starting like the HellCat! I look at one every time I go to a gun store!
0:55 “Back in my day we didn’t have any fancy shmancy tanks. We had two sticks and a rock. For a whole platoon. And we had to share the rock!”
Holy crap! I just realized you’d be perfect to play Sgt Johnson for a live action Halo movie. Just have to smoke a pack of cigarettes every day to get a bit of gravel in your voice ;)
i carried a S&W M&P 9C for a few years (wanted to try something a little thinner), then tried a P365XL (little too small for my hands and didnt like having to clean the red dot so often), then a 2nd gen shield (the grip is nice for shooting but its like sand paper against your skin and constantly snags on the inside of my shirt) and finally went to a Hellcat Pro last year and its honestly PERFECT for me. right inbetween full size and compact, very concealable, nice shooting, plenty of rounds and just overall right on the money for a daily carry gun.
Try sanding your rough grip with emery cloth or whatever till it's good enough to be next to your belly and won't grab your shirt.
As far as cleaning red dot if you’re looking at the glass you’re using it wrong look at the target that dot will be there. As far as the stippling just carry it for a couple weeks with a t shirt underneath the roughness will be gone.
Another outstanding video Colion, keep up the good work!
Looks great and I have been eyeing this one. Unfortunately I live in WA, until the magazine ban is gone, I hope.
Pro is my EDC in an appendix rig and I could not be happier with it.
i carry my hellcat rdp with mcarbo trigger and 507k holosun 15 round mags and 17 round mags fit to so ill stick with my rdp all day
Can't wait to get my hellcat pro ❤
i waiting for my hellcat pro in late december and after that i am getting 365 sig sauer in february my dream come true, oh mine i am in heaven.
You helped me make the choice and I just got mine and am super excited to take it too the range!
Also they have a great belt that works under any gym shorts or joggers and it's like $20
I’d like to check that out. What is the name of that belt holster that works great with shorts or joggers? Thank you.
@@rogerwilkie8555 from Arrowhead tactical.
Cant go wrong with a hellcat. Great first gun.
My first 9mm and first ccw
You're doing a great job. I always appreciate your great reviews and recommendations. Thank you for all your hard work and please keep it up.
I admit that I don't have big hands, so the Glock 26 that I bought as my first gun taught me a lot. A big take away is that the thickness of the grip along with the tightness of the G26 recoil spring makes for an unpleasant shooting experience. It added a learning curve for me and it didn't help that I was a novice at shooting. When I got the hellcat pro, I finally found a sub compact gun that felt comfortable to grip and was fun to shoot. The fact that it holds 15 rounds is just wizardry or something, but it's a huge plus
Hellcat pro is a compact size pistol. It's slim, but it's about the same size as the G19 which is also a compact. The G26is a sub compact, and the P365/Hellcat are micro double stacks.
Now has 17rd factory Mags
I just can't get past my original Hellcat. Still amazing.
i've got abnormally large hands. I can only get 2 fingers on the hellcat pro but with the 17rd mags it gives just enough room for my pinky and I love it.

My summer carry is the hellcat. Very concealable with great capacity. I shoot this really well. Very comfortable to me.
Awesome video! Thank you! 😎
You’re absolutely correct; Guns aren’t political. They are simply a tool. Like any other tool, they can be dangerous if used in an unsafe or incorrect manner. Like all powerful tools, guns need to be used responsibly, by safety minded individuals. A friend of mine just bought the hellcat pro, and I’m in love with the thing! I definitely know what my next pistol purchase is going to be! I have smallish hands, and the Hellcat pro fits perfectly in my hands! It was love at first grip!
New gun owner, bought a Taurus G2C not knowing shit and was concealed carrying in Philadelphia and late night i was in a wawa and one dude was cracking on the other dude for carrying a GC2 all while im standing there with the GC2 on my hip so i went home with my hoagie and bought the Hellcat and so happy i did. I carry with the 15rds and i figured 15 is enough in philly because most people in north philly have drums and switches anyway so 15 or 17 probably doesnt matter.
I have a challenge for Colion. Take a look at a quick draw gun like the Heritage Rough Rider of the Ruger Vaquero. It's completely deferent than the stuff your used, but it's so much fun. It's all about the speed of your hands not the gun, but the guns are really nice! The triggers are some of the nicest, and the accuracy is enough to shoot the wings off flies. I'm getting into it and I'm liking it.
Or get a g48 with the shield arms 15rd mag and add the +5 extension for the same size as a hellcat pro with extended mag
Just picked one up after renting one at a range a couple of times. I'm usually not much of a fan of included speed loaders but the one that comes in the box is really good for what it is. Of course it helps that the mags are high quality too and rounds go in pretty smooth. I can load rounds about the same speed as my uplula maglula, and honestly, I think I prefer it over the maglula for this gun it's that good. I'm not sure about the initial release but mine came with one 15rd and one 17rd mag which is also nice. Love the iron sights that come with it too but have rented a few guns with optics on them and can't wait to get one for mine.
Cant wait to get my new one out of the waiting period this week! Thanks Colion for all you do!
When they first came out with hellcat I realized the 11rd and 13rd mags were the same except the 13rd had a +2 baseplate on it so I would take that off and put it on my 15rd mag and make it 17+1 and it would turn my 13rd into a 11rd mag. I would be buying 13rd round mags at gunshows for 15$ only for the baseplate.
I still stand on my g26 wit a rmr cut 12 round mag with pinky extension and 2 g17 mags
Yes, advance composts is tech is cool and is my thing l let’s inverse the sine wave. 😮
I just found this chanell love this dude keeps it real
damn..I wanted an HK p30sk but this hellcat has caught my eye.
Love your comment on different guns and what is good or bad!
Amazing videos all of them!!! Just picked up my first Hellcat Pro and installed the vortex defender CCW on it. Colors FDE….. been wanting one for a very long time and I am a huge fan of Springfield…. So happen with it and I hope to hit the range but it’s starting to get cold here in Minnesota. I’ll look for a threaded barrel and 17 rounder.
Being the tinkerer I am, I discovered the base plate from the 13 round it the 15 mag making it 17 . That's how I carried my hellcat and now my pro.
Love the Hellcat pro. It just feels right, like it was designed personally for me.
yes but when your hellcat gets pulled out, don't doubt!! Silly insurance, what you want is Attorneys on Retainer!!
Just to make you feel worse Colion, my first two pistols were a Taurus G2C and a Taurus GX4. Both good pistols for what I could afford. Then the Sig P365 XMacro came out (no comp, or Tacops, just the normal one, basically a XL with Xmacro grip) and now I got a sliiiiiim grip, 17 rounds, super reliable, accurate and man just a super nice gun. I got into carrying 3 years ago lol. So I went from Taurus 12 rounds, to Sig 17+1 round. It’s been awesome.
I still carry the G19 Gen 3 😂
The P365 lineups are pretty good, not the best but overall good. All the P365 series pistols I shot have some small issue or another so I don't trust them enough to carry but I'll shoot them in the range for fun. They're far better than the P320 with all it's safety problems still rampant now days.
@ghilliemanreviews3568 - My brother's G43X has the Shield Arms S15 round mag and a 20 round mag as back up. That's the capacity of a full size 2011 in the size of a little EDC, very impressive. I've shot all the micro 9mm pistol side by side and they all feel the same in recoil, muzzle rise, return to zero, speed, and accuracy, I was shooting them all identical despite their grips and trigger feeling very different (good shooting is in the shooter, not the pistol). But I'd go with either the Hellcat or G43X due to reliability, the P365 gave me small issues like failure to slide lock open after empty mag (NO I wasn't riding the slide catch and tested it one handed), and also some failure to extract empty casings leaving a round jammed against the feeding ramp. Also the P365 is super picky with ammo, it hates aluminum or steel which Sig told me NOT to use. But the G43X and Hellcat both cycled all cheap aluminum and steel casings reliably.
