As always, very nice review. Love the thorough weight comparisons. Nice shooting. I think the skill level of the shooter "might" have contributed? I had my LE Rabbi at the range one day, shoot a fellow officer's newly tuned Chief's Special from 25 yards. The crusty old Sergeant calmly looked the gun over, loaded five roads, then squeezed off five measured shots while the skeptical young officer watched the bull thru the spotting scope.

The Sergeant opened the cylinder and handed back the little .38. "Not bad at all."

"Gee Sarge, looks like you missed, not a single new hole in my bullseye." The cocky youngster said sarcastically.

The Sergeant grinned and said over his shoulder as he walked away...
"Check the forehead.".

One ragged hole.

Some folks are just good.

Love it! Yes, you have just got to appreciate the skill of some shooters. Especiually those old wheelgunners!

Thanks Howard. Very timely review, as I have become very interested in the Hellcat ever since I became aware of it.
Had it been available at the time I bought my XDS, I most likely would have chosen differently.
Great review!

Great review and that is a nice fire power package...love the sights too! I have had my XDE .45 ACP for a while now and love it. My everyday
carry pistol and no issues with it so far. I just like big holes!

thanks for the review, info appreciated .... as a wheel gunner, I have next to no knowledge of semi autos

I too prefer wheel guns Jim, however, when I decided to carry, and got my CCW permit, that is when I got my first semi auto. Easier to conceal.
Still like shooting revolvers more though!

well understood .... its really a matter of personal preference and folks most certainly ought to go with whatever is best for them ....

As much as I love my wheelguns, this pistol might be the one that finally replaces my Centennial J-frame as my go-to off duty pistol.
