Springfield Armory Hellcat

[Mike]

Has anyone had any experience with the Springfield Armory Hellcat?



It looks interesting enough for me to make a trip to the gun store soon. Maybe I've found my Christmas present from me!

Aim Here and be sure to watch the video.

It's just not enough grip to be comfortable for me...And I say that never having held one...It reminds me of other short-gripped pistols I've tried to shoot...I do like the shorter barrel though as it helps the balance for me...My own favorite carry gun as far as comfort was always my old Colt Night Officer...Full size 1911 grip, 3" barrel and night sights...Supposedly there were only 200 of the 1st generation NO's made by Colt, and I remember owning two...

But I'll look for this one, Mike, and see how it feels......Ben

Be sure to give us a report if you get one in your hand. I have the same concern that Ben has. I have a little .25 semi-auto that suffers from being too small---great in theory but a bit short in practice.

Make sure and also consider the Sig Sauer p365. Many think that it is superior to the Hellcat. No question Springfield designed the Hellcat compete directly with the p365. If you're going for micro-compact I think you should consider both and get the one you like

And, I had forgotten about the Glock 43. I like Glock a lot. The Glock 23 was my duty weapon for well over 20 years and I still carry it when the weather is cool enough for concealment. Not that often in Southeast Texas!

Hickok45 has a nice video about the Hellcat.

I don't know who this kid is, but he makes a good video.

Glock 43 is awesome it's just has such low capacity compared to the Sig 365 and the Hellcat
