Hellcat Pro Comp - who's shot it??

I had my wife shoot a P365 380 XL (had a macro slide). Shoots like a 22 - she loved it. Very easy to collect and keep on target. Mine has the full size AXG frame, so it looks identical to an X Macro; if you want to avoid snappy, and keep the small form factor, Id look at the Luxe. It's finally widely available in stores now.
I'd like to try a locked breech 380. Have only shot blowback designs.
 
Shooting HST 124-147 out of it. Feels a little better with those. Hogue grip made it a lot more ergonomic for me.
Yeah the ergonomics on the HC Pro was very underwhelming. Plus very little aftermarket products available to make it better aside from the ugly Hogue Grip, which is kinda irrelevant if it works well but it’s still nice to enjoy your firearm visually 🤷🏻‍♂️

That is the plus side of so many decent offerings. I thought the S&W shield grip was garbage and the P365 XL grip felt like it left giant void under my support hand. Aesthetically, all the plastic guns look the same to me.

Yeah... its not pretty but it performs fairly well. I liked the Glock 43X more but could never find one for a decent price.
 
Just got back from taking my son to ITTS Handgun 1. He wanted to use my CZ75B. I took the Hellcat in an Upper Hand Holsters OWB. Today I qualified for it and sent in the application to add it to my license.

Still waiting for it to be painful to shoot, difficult to hit with, or have the worst trigger ever.

Congrats! Same I qualifed for Alameda with the Hellcat Pro this weekend alongside an Echelon 4.0C. I still don't like the Hellcat trigger but it shot fine with 147, even a little less snappy than usual.
 
I have the Hellcat Pro and love it. The only issue is natural point of aim for me is always high. e.g. When I put the pistol toward the target, I have to move it down to get the sights to line up. I don't have this issue with my Glocks, or 1911's
I do like it better than my 365X , and due to the design, feel more comfortable carrying the Hellcat with one in the chamber than I do the 365.
Once my CCW updates goes through I can really test how pocket carrying the Hellcat works out long term. Test fits seem okay with the Vedder pocket holster and about the same as my current pocket carry pistol the Sig P938.

I did like the Hellcat Pro more than the stock P365s. Although the Luxe is tempting me...
