Thoughts? I have the Springfield xd9 & love it . My nephew just purchased a hellcat. I really like the 11+1 or 13+ 1 capacity. I'm thinking about getting the hellcat rdp with manual safety & reddot sights.
Springfield hellcat

I own some shotguns made in Italy. Not going to apologize for it either. It's a shame we don't them at that quality here anymore. Winchester Model 70 no longer made here either. Frigging shame.
Name top 4 9mm subcompact U.S made pistols. I've shot the hellcat & it fits my small hands perfectly with the high capacity mag . I would spend the extra money on a American made pistol that offers what this gun does .
Sig Sauer pistols are made here as well as Glock now. Not originally owned here but at least manufacturing is done here now.
Smith and wesson.
Sig p365. Nice gun
The only Springfield Armory pistols I own are 1911's. But if you have done your research on it and like it then get what you want and train with it. The Sig Sauer P320 has several models and magazines to pick from though. Find a place that will let you shoot several models. Then choose. That's always better than buying one and deciding later you don't like it.
The P365 features a patented modified double-stack magazine capable of 10+1, 12+1 or 15+1 full-size capacity. Its ergonomic design makes it more shootable than the typical pocket-sized pistols with a clean, crisp trigger pull you expect from a SIG SAUER.

Haven't been able to find a place to shoot them close to home .
May wait a couple weeks before I purchase the hellcat. I've shot the hellcat & like it . I'm a small man & need something that fits my hands. I have a XD9 & have no problems just like what the hellcat brings with the red dot & compensator.
Sig 365 has a model for a red dot and a compensator too. There's also after market kits. They may cost a little more however it's something you are carrying to save your life.
Not sure why you need a red dot on a micro pistol though. For the range that's going to be effective the front sight tip would be faster.
I'm also not a fan of carrying a pistol in my pocket. By the time you get it out the fight might be over. Drawing from an IWB holster will be smoother. Smooth is fast.

I don't need the red dot , I like it .. never used one .I use a holster for my xd that is very smooth.
I'm gonna check out the 365 . Would prefer American made but bottom line it has to fit my little burger hooks .
I've had the xd9 and enjoyed it but gave it to someone. I am a 365 Sig guy as my carry but from the reviews I've seen I'd probably love the hell cat too. Just from the reviews and my skill with weapons I'd guess you'd be happy with it. I just happen to have the Sig 365 and love it as well as a Springfield M1a and cherish it more so. I have too many pistols but would love to have this one. I say go for it!
I think I decided on the S&W csx
12+1 mag & it fits my little booger hooks nicely. Price is in my ball park . I still like the hellcat but this one seems to fit my hands better.
I shot it .. many rds . Stays fairly level and after 100 or so rds was still comfortable.
As long as you like it. If you get it give an update after a few thousand rounds to let everyone know if it's reliable.
