No they're not, idiot.

The first time I picked up the Hellcat Pro it felt like it was designed expressly for my hand. I cannot imagine a better fit. Perfect size, 15 rounds. Zero complaints........the perfect ccw

I have all three, GLOCK 19, GLOCK 43x and the Hellcat Pro. Love them all. I'm now have the Hellcat pro for daily carry.

Due to work I couldn’t fire my gun first couple weeks that I got it. So I started dry firing and it was digging into the web of my hand as it did to you. Carrying it was irritating my skin on my belly also. I put the gun away for a week because of work and when I came back it bothered me at all. I’ve shot it several times and still no issues. However, last week my brother shot it for the first time and it was digging into his web. Watching that happen to you and how quickly you adjusted or got used to it was a relief. Thanks for the vid. BTW. I couldn’t find the Hex Wasp and instead i am running with a green dot Swamp fox and so far so good.

I'm glad to see someone like me still using the Weaver stance as your friend did in this video.

The Hellcat was a game changer, the Pro raised the bar.

I just bought the hellcat pro. I was dead set on the sig p365xl and then I felt it in my hands. The hellcat pro was just perfect for me. I have XL sized palms and slimmer fingers and it was amazing. I am a Sig fanboy and the hellcat won me over. Increased capacity. Better all around grip texture. grip felt fuller in my hand, compared to the 365xl. And praise the lord, no proprietary rail like the 365 line. I was sold.

@@djorig I have a 3.5" PDP F-Series. I'll certainly keep it because of the great ambi controls (lefty) It'll be my under a shirt or jacket carry though; she's a thick one! Really leaning toward the pro. Fondled a 365 and but the pro was a lot better in my girl sized, arthritis infested hands!🙃

Have mine with +4 extensions so I carry 19+1, Holosun optic and runs like a charm!

On the beaver tail digging into your thumb joint, I noticed the same and also with my FN 509. For basically all of my shooting years I have gripped with my support hand the same as you. I put my support grip lower where instead of my middle finger supporting the trigger guard and my pointer finger wrapping around my pointer is under the trigger guard. This lowers my support thumb which in turn lowers where my right hand thumb rests and the beaver tail is more comfortable.

I have a Hellcat but it's just a regular model not optics cut because I'm not a fan of those red dots. I would much rather have a Holosun or even a RMR because I don't like not having control over the brightness. I've seen similar optics that if you need to use a flashlight or if you're in a low light area and shooting into a bright area the dot is completely washed out but I'm not sure if they're compatible with any others ... Definitely a sweet gun though and great video as always keepem coming brother!!!

Thank you Adam, your the man

Just got this gun today and got the 15 rd mag w a holster love it already lol way easier to carry than my Glock 23

Great video! I agree with the HC pro trigger. I’m only at 200-300 rnds but not loving it!!! I have continued to carry my G19 until I figure it out.

Excellent video

I just bought one & its ALMOST the perfect CCW. My one & only complaint is that I still have to sorta extend my pinky out in order to reload or my hand gripping the gun will stop my other hand from being able to slap the mag in. Thats purely a me issue, im not a huge guy (about average) but I do have pretty large hands. I have a similar issue with G19s. Ill just have to train around it. I wouldn't mind a 16 or 17rnd Hellcat. Think G17 size but thinner & with a shorter barrel.

I use a Galco Quickslide outside the belt holster. It fits my Hellcat Pro, just a bit loose. Think old west feel. I have a One Second draw and fire from concealed carry. Get the rig. With practice, you'll become lighting fast, and get the drop on anybody, just like me.

Id like to see how it compares to the shield plus with its 13rd mag

Your riding the slide release, thats why it didnt lock back. Many people who havent shot this gun before do that if used to something like sig365 where its more forward.

I left or the stock Glock sights because my bad eyes pick up on them very easy vs little 3 dots. So I would probably like these sights too.

The Hellcat Pro has the portability of a Sig P365 XL and the capacity of a Glock 19, it makes me give-up buying a Glock 43X with the Shieldarms magazine set.

Hope you have a camera behind you so that we could see where the shot is hitting.

I didn't like the squared off back of the grip either. This is the first time I've heard somebody else mention it. I think if there is a gen 2 on this gun they should try to round off the back of the grip from top to bottom. I have nerve pain in my hands so this could actually be a deal breaker for me, but I like everything else about the gun.

For holsters try Vedder or Phlstr. For red dots, it's RMSc footprint. Holosun models require modification so avoid those imo. Some options to consider are Swampfox Sentinel, Hex Wasp, and the Shield RMR (I forget the exact name).

If anyone gets Shield 43x mags make sure you swap away from the poly mag release.

I like my Hellcat Pro.

Nice content l enjoy with you 👍

If anyone likes the Hellcat Pro out of the box, they will love it with an Apex3 trigger unit.

I really like my hellcat but had to sell it for my now p365xl. Unfortunately when shooting it my thumb would hit three slide lock constantly with things forward grip which was very frustrating then trying to put my thumbs down further and still keeping a good grip on it i would hit the mag release almost every round under recoil. There was almost nothing I could do to stop it so I had to sell it. Love the 365xl except for the rusting issues which it got cerakoted and keep the magazine coated in CorosionX.
