NEWS TO ME

BE EVEN BETTER WITH A GREEN LASER SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO SIGHT IT

I HATE THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE A GRIP SAFETY, LIKE, SAY THE 1911

I LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT IT

HAS ANYONE SHOT ONE YET?

Yeah, love my XD45 and sub compact 9... I can't tell how the size of the hellcat compares to my SC, and my SMALL magazine holds 13... I'm thinking maybe my wife would like to have the little 9...

Hey Pitchy,

DON'T TELL ANYONE I SAID THIS, but IMO, the XD45 is a better combat pistol than the 1911. Even though I really really like shooting my 1911.....

Shhhhh........................

I imagine that it's a real dandy, and very reliable.
I'll stick to my LCP w/factory Crimson Trace built into it.
A full half pound lighter, and much smaller.
Only 6+1, and the sights are pretty much useless, but this is not for target shooting....just up close and personal EDC.

Compare videos along with the SIG p365 and the Taurus PT111 G2, I'm at around 700 rounds through a Taurus PT111 and hate to admit it I really like this little gun, almost the same size as the others but at under $250 bucks it's very accurate, super easy to shoot, super reliable and with the savings you can buy a heck of a lot of defensive ammo.
