Hellcat

[markiver54]

Just handled one today. The new Springfeild Armory Hellcat. What's not to like? A micro 9mm double stack no larger than my XDS single stack. 14 round capable.
Frustrating how quickly they build a better mouse trap. I want one...oh well....

When I saw the title.... first thing that came to mind Dodge

I knew nothing about that pistol.

I thought about the car as well. Would like to see BOTH in person.

there is no doubt that, more and more every day, there is a huge world of things out there that I've never heard of .... Springfeild Armory Hellcat is simply the latest example .... since Google Knows All, I looked it up .... impressive little rig for sure

Sorry guys. Title shoulda been `Hellcat Pistol`.

While I was at my LGS, my friend, (the owner) was on the phone with his distributor and ordered 5 more. One was for himself. He is an ex-cop. They are selling for approx $550.00. Prices will likely vary depending on where one shops.

Not too difficult with plastic.
I don't know if it's necessarily a 'better mousetrap' - more like a variation of the same.

I am somewhat biased however as I am partial to the 'big iron' - 1911's, full size all steel semi autos etc.

Weight, size, concealment, capacity, ergonomics, versatility...etc.
If I want 'big iron', I'll holster one of my wheel guns. The Hellcat is even set up for red dot mounting, of interest, which is becoming very popular.
Have no problem with plastic. Only half the gun is. Can anyone question the reputation of Glock?
All a matter of personal preference.
Definitely is a ' better mouse trap' in this category.

Interesting, but too similar to an XDS for me. Read on the XDS forum that lots of people could shoot accurately with the XDS but not me, shot quite a few rounds before selling mine but I never could shoot it worth a darn.

I recently handled a P365 SAS at a LGS and I would really like to shoot one. Very interesting sights and a ported barrel.

Handled one of those yesterday as well. Unique sites, didn't like them, nor did anyone else in attendance.
Hellcat has higher capacity as well.
I like my XDS. Shoots as good as can be expected for a point and shoot SD weapon.
Conceals very well also.
