Hellcat?

[Kman]

I am thinking about buying one. I've fondled, researched, shot and priced them. I can get an optics ready with 5 magazines for around $615 OTD.
Hellcat owners with experience please chime in and let me know your experiences.

I have a Hellcat pro. I like the sights but the trigger sucked on mine. Swapped it out for an MCARBO trigger and it shoots much better. I just bought a Shield Plus, I shoot it a little better then the Hellcat and I didn't have to upgrade the trigger.

They are one of our top sellers in the shop. I will be running a sale on that one (model HC9319BOSPGU22) for $540 which would be about $575 OTD.

I have two Hellcats. One with the great iron sights and an OSP model with a Swampfox red dot. I am happy with both. I put Talon grip overlays on each.

Hellcat Pro here with a Holosun 407K X2, I’ve parked my Glocks for a while to let this little gem shine.

Hellcat with the Shield SMS here. I liked it a lot it fits my hand very well. I thought the stock trigger was OK (Better than Glock not as good as my CZ). However, I upgraded to an Apex trigger kit and I like much better. It’s my main carry option.

Guess I'll jump in and say...me too. Went through the usual micro suspects and this did it for me.
Have used for a couple years and a good choice if you're carrying. Have 10, 11, 13 and 15 round mags and three different holster types depending on the need.

In case you missed it.

I was just on MD Elite Firearms (f Balto Best Pawn) and saw they had Hellcats on sale. https://mdelitefirearms.com/search.php?search_query=hellcat&section=product

I've been carrying a Hellcat Pro...some...lately. I've come to the conclusion that 15 rounds is heavy.

My experience with it is with a few different Alien Gear holsters because I have them already and just needed to buy an extra shell or two to change out.

-Cloak Tuck 3.5 IWB. Nope, don't like it. If not wearing an undershirt, the grip rubs my skin raw. I use this holster mainly for my Walther PPS M2.

-Cloak Belt OWB, this one is okay. Still heavy at the end of the day and lots of shifting on the belt as I get in and out of vehicles many times a day making deliveries. Inability to forward cant is annoying, but this holster is not hateful. Also using this one mainly for my Walther.

-Cloak Mod OWB paddle holster. This one is my main holster for the Pro. Ability to cant and ease of taking on and off belt makes it very convenient. I also have a docking station (Cloak Dock) that is mounted to my desk at work that I love. When I'm going to be in the office all day, this is what I have.

-Cloak Slide-I tried this for a day and sent it back. Do not like it, for any gun. Re-holstering takes 2 hands.

Call me an Alien Gear fan boy if you like, it just happens to be the platform that I have and works for me. I ordered a Versacarry the other day to try.

As far as shooting it goes, I like the sights. I like the grip and ergonomics. The gun shoots a little (very slightly) low left for me. (I thought it was me, its not, my other ones shoot fine) I have not attempted to adjust the sights yet. Not sure if I'll go with any optics, that would be a whole 'nother holster nightmare.

Edited to add: I have noticed that to insert mags, you really need to slam them in there. I mean hard.

No experience with the standard Hellcat. I carry my Walther much more than the Pro.

Hellcat was best choice for me vs Sig 365 and Glock 43. Tried all three side by side. Nice carry size.

You can only bend the laws of physics but so far .

As Micro Pistols get larger variants , and hold more rounds , they get bigger and heavier . It's only slightly a joke when I observe that as Micro's get bigger and bigger , they will overlap with " normal compact " pistols .

Of note , you report preferring to carry your PPS M2 over the oversize Hellcat . So embrace the carrying of the normal pistol .

Of note, soon to be carrying an LCP II, lol.

I have a hellcat. Like other post , trigger is a bit gritty . I may put a trigger upgrade. Love the pistol though.
