Hellcat has proved over and over again to be super reliable, this is why it’s my EDC.

Same here. It was countless videos like this and of course some torture test videos that prompted me to get the Hellcat OSP as my new EDC a little more than a month ago and I absolutely love it. Already have 14 boxes put through it without a single jam.🙂
I also carry a Hellcat, but with the 15+1 extended magazine. I wear sweats most of the time, and fell in love with the sticky holster. When normally dressed, I’ll carry my Taurus G3, or Glock 43x OWB. Own several other handguns, shoot them all extremely well, but these are my go to guns. Oh, and in warm weather, I’ll also carry my Taurus 856 snubby, but will still carry my Hellcat, with a deep concealment holster.
I love my hellcat. All micro 9s are snappy you just have to practice. I’m glad you enjoy it as well I think it’s the best carry firearm and my edc. I always carry with the pinky extension and it fits my hands like a glove. Sights out of box make it more appealing than a glock and eats literally everything. Being able to go from 11 plus 1 to 15 plus one makes it super versatile. Even with the 13 plus 1 I’d say is sufficient
I absolutely love the Hellcat. I have no problems with the recoil at all. And it carries extremely comfortably. I normally carry a 40 in the winter here in Michigan Because everyone wears heavier clothing. But this year, I think I'm going to carry my hellcat, but with Underwood extreme Penetrator rounds.

The Penetrators are probably overkill in 9mm. I carry the Underwood Extreme Defenders in mine. Plenty of penetration with much bigger wound channel. Check them out friend

The hot Underwood E.P.s will put you in prison. ESPECIALLY w Obidens gun hating judges & prosecutors. WAY too much penetration & probability of collateral damage. Check w some of the Legal channels. You'll reconsider.

Penetrators but in 380 for ultra micro 👌

Look up "Paul Harrell Winter Clothing". He did penetration tests on a dummy wearing several shirts and a few winter coats. He found that even .25 ACP goes through them like nothing.
I just picked up a Hellcat OSP and was beyond impressed by how such a small frame could fit by mitts so well. My favorite fitting is my HK VP9. For some reason the Hellcat is almost as comfortable.

How big is the vp9 in comparison?
I carry my Hellcat regularly. Love it. Love the sights too. No desire to add a red dot. Have a Vedder holster for appendix and C&G for OWB strong side. Both great companies.
Just bought one of these today after much research. Haven’t shot it yet, but don’t remember ever being this excited about a new firearm. It feels amazing in my hands, can’t wait to put a couple boxes of rounds through it.
Great review thank you! Bought mine a couple days ago, gotta wait 10 days! Yippie I love California 🤡
Very interested to hear that you train with one hand. Makes a great deal of sense to have one hand for the weapon and one hand for your self.
You are correct. The hellcat osp is a great gun for edc. 👍🏼
I own the the Hellcat is an awesome little pistol… Not perfect but awesome… Sold my 365’s because of it… To me? The Hellcat is better ergonomically ( feels better in hand.) the sights are really good… RMR capable….Rail for small accessories…. Great for pocket carrying… Higher capacity…. Some people don’t like the Hellcat because is reminds them of the Glock? Some people are brand loyal or brand hating? The trigger suits me just fine… I actually prefer it over the p365…. The trigger is more responsive on the return and reset. Biggest reason I like it is because it’s a stout, well built micro 9…. It’s chunky and solid where as the Sig is lighter and more plasticky…. If you hold both guns in hand you can feel the difference ( the sig is a good gun but they did have QC problems early in the production.) I like the Hellcat better…… I’ve known people that +10k rounds through it with minimal or no issues…. Thanks for the video 👍 I love the Hellcat because it’s awesome! 👍👍👍😁

One more cool feature of the Hellcat is that it’s guide rod assembly is setup to prevent the pistol from being knocked out of battery if you happen to make an accidental contact with a potential threat? Something to consider. Not thinking the P365 has that going for it? Again, thanks for the video. 👍
Really well done review. Thanks
I really want to try one. Thank you-Great video.
Excellent video. How do you feel about this compared to the Glock 26?
Very informative and well said many thanks
SA also offers a 15 round mag for occasions when a larger grip profile and higher capacity is prefered and practical.
I wanted Hellcat RDP but then I saw the CR920P and now I'm torn between the two, now Im leaning towards CR920P
Can you give me more information on the tx4 holster you showed in this video? Thanks
Nothing comfy about carrying a pistol but it is a life saver lol

Especially if you’re a short dude like me.
The Hellcat Pro is perfect
The hellcat with the 15 round magazine is the best
I have the osp model with a crimson trace red dot and the apex trigger. I absolutely love it. Its my edc, hopefully the newer generations will have a better trigger, but the apex takes care of that.
You can buy 15rd mags also
Great review
I carry a glock26. I feel as if the hellcat and some of the other subcompact pistols have shadowed the g26. I still think the g26 is such a good EDC, looks good and shoots good. Thoughts on the g26?

Less recoil, more mag options. Still the lightest compact. 26 ain't going anywhere.
Got the pro. In the store its trigger felt O.K.. In the field it sucked. 7-8 lb trigger. Must have got the lemon. Got it for my wife & she can't pull it at all. She CAN handle the Taurus G2C just fine. It's trigger is WAY lighter/ better. Go figure. Putting in the PRC trigger kit tomorrow. Hopefully that will bring it down to normal. Pros trigger got WORSE w use. THAT definitely isn't right.
Have you tried any extreme defenders!
can you share the comfortability shooting this gun in terms of recoil/snappy? I have heard the hellcat feels more snappy compared to other micros. I am very interested in buying one and will likely rent one to try it first, but I wanted to get your input. I bought the GX4 toro but it Im getting rid of due to trigger reset issues.
The shield plus is comparable to the pro model ?
It doesn't fit my hand very well and I have alot of trouble shooting it accurately. Other guns that I own fit me much better and my shots are right where I aim. Try before you buy if you can
RDP is far more flexible than any micro,
Tauros gx4 9mm look at me
Craptastic review
Hiw does a optic add bulk yes its a add on but doesn't show or print and doest make it any less concealable
This ny edc and has been for about 2yrs. Up till then was carrying the g19, but why I have a hellcat that comes optics ready, came with a 11rd mag and 13rd mag and has a factory 15 rd mag that equals to my g19. And I carry liberty civil defense 50 grain light plus p rd. When I'm carrying the hellcat I forget I even have it at times
