Check out Chad on his youtube channel : "3 of 7". He's a navy seal who tests lots of guns. He tested the Hellcat Pro (larger mag capacity) He hit the target out to 80 yards and said it became his main carry gun. Good enough for me so I bought one. So far I like it and the extra rounds (15) in a carry gun is a nice feature.

I do, Glocks actually hurt my hand when shot several times

Hellcat works just fine, accurate fits my hand and 15 rounds, I did have some trigger work done on mine but I do that with a lot of guns, it was ok before I did but lots better now IMOH

I have one. I switched to carrying over the XDS I’ve have for the last 5 or so years. Very comfortable gun for me

And carry good

He hit at 80 and missed at 90. This looks like that guy on the reels we keep seeing getting interviewed. Great motivational speaker for team work and giving it your all. I might go look at one of these today.

I have one and like it. It fits my hands, despite being a micro pistol, its sights are very good, and it carries very well.

Do some research on a Canik Mete. Lots of great reviews.

I traded my XDs off. I didn't like the high pull on the trigger. And with the striker inside!

I like the 1911 style better. I purchased a Kimber 1911 after.

I’m not a huge pistol fan but I’m getting interested in the Hellcat after this post. Looks like Fleet Farm has it for $619. Are the sights adjustable?

sort of , they are in dove tails , with a sight pusher you can adjust windage

if you need elevation you have 2 options learn where to hold or start replacing the front sight higher or lower

it also looks like the hellcat is optics ready meaning you can mount a red dot to it then yes very adjustable

Is $619 a good price for the Hellcat Pro?

a quick look around the internet puts them right about 599-620 but if you have to pay a transfer dealer for an online purchase you would be over 620

For those that already have one, have you found a factory load that it likes best?
