But there is a significant weight difference between the two guns. And if I put the 12 round on my P365Xl it's even more confortable and even lighter.

Something people tend not to include on discussing grip width on handguns vs Glock is that the Glock has polymer magazines with their metal liner. This inherently adds width, being as polymer has to be much thicker in order to provide any true rigidity. If they began making pistols with steel mags, the grip dimensions would change drastically. So that alone changes the dynamic of a comparison.

I may be in the minority, but the slightly thicker Glock frame helps reduce recoil. At least that has been my shooting experience. And a very thin grip actually rubs my hand the wrong way.

I was wondering when a true p365xl competitor would come out, but alas here it is. This frame size and barrel length at 3.7"(same as 365xl) really is the perfect balance btwn edc and shootability. I guess the Glock48 and Mossberg were here before with slightly longer barrels. I think now, out of the 4 main "thin compacts" on the market, Im leaning towards the MC2c based on price and being Made in America. The barrel is .2" longer but .5" longer over all. The MC2c is 7.1" long, the HellcatP is 6.6". The heights are 4.9 and 4.8 respectively but thats with a 13 round mag in the MC2c, so the Hellpro is a smaller gun overall with a flushfit mag and standard 15 round capacity. The p365xl has a standard 12 round mag and the same 4.8" height. If you put a 15rd mag on the MC2c its at least a half inch taller and longer than the Hellpro. Also the Performance Center Shield has a 4" barrel so that would make 4 in this class to date. I presume the xds will be discontinued. All we need now is a shootout comparison video btwn this growing "goldilox class" of thin compacts which I think shoot way better than any thin subcompact. Long live the golden age!

If you want a slim carry 9mm without pinky dangle like this one, you should consider the Mossberg MC2c. 13rd and 15rd mags, 3.9" barrel, 1.10" width, and very affordable price. I really like mine. Perform two minor mods. Added a 3mm thick bumper behind the mag release button that I felt was a bit too exposed. Clipped the extractor spring 1 coil because the extractor tension was too high. Other than those fixable issues, perfect size, slim, excellent grip texture and nice palm swells, good capacity, great trigger, precision frame/slide/barrel fit.

Which is a huge problem if you are standing in any kind of shadow and looking towards the light source. Even the hood of the lens blocks the sensor depending on the shadow and the dot will dim from that. Not to mention the fact that you have to use a tiny little Allen wrench to make adjustments and there is no feedback whenever you turn the dials. If Springfield would fix those simple problems it would actually be a good optic especially for the money. I’ll definitely be changing mine out for a Holosun in the future

Hellcat Pro, no doubt the best CCW gun I have ever owned. It feels like it was designed to fit my very own hand.

Great review as always Sir. So it’s really like the G48. Cause now you can get 15 rounds for it. One plus is it comes with 15 round mags and you do not have to get them.

I feel like the Sig P365 was the game changer and with their spectre comps and x macros and whatnot. Everyone else is just following now to make sales. I have both the hellcat pro and the Sig P365 in the spectre comp with x macro frame but still have all my original parts to put it back to super tiny again if I want. Haven’t shot the hellcat pro yet, but already love my 365. Hard to imagine I’ll like the hellcat pro more, but I guess anything is possible.

No one ever mentions at night the cartridge indicator is useless in the dark. I like the Springfield models that have the indicator pin protruding out the rear of the slide. Owning 2 of the Hellcats would definitely like that feature incorporated into the slide.

My friend carries one of these. It's a great pistol for someone who likes the micro 9mm's. I own a P365, it's not for me, it lives in the back of my safe. I just stick to carrying my Glock 19 and Glock 30.

Idk why you chose the 19 to compare it to rather than the 48 or 43x which are same size and capacity with s15 mags

yup. they don't want to compare it to the 43x mos or 48 mos as this beats them in every catagory including price. this is coming from a g43x mos owner too. which now am dumping after getting the Pro
