Springfield Hellcat.

Guns & Ammo

So last weekend I hit the range with a buddy and some of his friends, and saw that one of them had a Springfield Hellcat. And honestly I couldn't wait to try it out because I've been wanting to compare it to my Sig P365.

Also initially, I was going to choose a Hellcat for carry before I decided on going with the 365. Mostly because it just felt so great in the hand off the bat, the texture, the grip, everything.

And the only reason I had chose the 365 over the Hellcat was 2 things. Modularity, and a manual safety.

​

Now let me tell you. After putting a couple thousand rounds through my P365. It took me only 10 rounds with the Hellcat to figure out that I absolutely hated it! It was 10 of the most painful rounds I think I've ever fired from a 9mm, my finger was literally bruised after, and I had to force myself to finish off the mag. It's also noticeably snappier than the 364 as well, despite taking up more real estate in my hand.

​

I'm just wondering how can anyone actually like the Hellcat?

And I'm saying this as someone who was really routing for it.

​

Also a great point of never purchasing a gun off of how it feels in the hand.
