Springfield Hellcat Pro Review (How IS This Any Different From The Regular Hellcat?) - • Springfield Hellcat Pr...
So, one of the best 9mm pistol for concealed carry might have gotten better, now with 15 rounds. Excellent EDC gun that handles the recoil very well, has a pretty good trigger and decent sights.
So, which one of these two is the best micro compact 9mm 2022 pistol? Which one would you pick? Let me know in the comments below! Thanks for watching and God bless!

Fantastic someone who actually calls it as it is a "SLIDE STOP" ! Not a slide release. This function was never intended to be a slide realease on any handgun. 5 thumbs up!

Different manufacturers call it Different things. H & k calls it a slide release. So you're wrong they're not all slide stops. Though they're not all slide releases either.
I love the U rear sight.

Always been my favorite!
Those few oz. do make a big difference when you carry all day.

agreed.. the normal hellcat is so much easier..... You might shoot it once in self defense, however you are carrying it thousand of times before such an even occurs
I’m glad your safe FOA. Bless you and your family. From 813 Tactical.
Otimo trabalho! (Great job).
2 weeks ago I bought the Hellcat Pro along with a Taurus GX4. Was surprised that I shoot better with the smaller GX4. The addition of a red dot optic on the Pro should compensate for that. Do love the feel of the bigger gun.
Great video good information! Thanks Bill Hurst Caldwell Idaho
I love the U sights! Best thing since sliced bread. Wish they were on my Glock.
The difference is: pocket vs. no pocket carry. That's a BIG Difference
Just ordered the hellcat pro...cant wait to shoot it 💯

How do you like it? Debating on the pro over the OG
I am a new carrier I am getting different opinions before I buy. I have millennium G2 that is kind of big to carry, but I was wanting to know which do you prefer a hellcat pro or a Glock 43X or Glock 48? I Do you appreciate your opinion.
are the mags compatible with one another?
It's me again. The cartridge indicator is worthless at night or dark conditions so not impressed. Should of been like some of Springfield's other models with pin sticking out the rear of slide. Allready own the original but am thinking about going to the Pro.
Nice comparison. Best.... have them both. To me Hellcat Pro is more accurate gun. And yes you should train with what you carry. Sometime there are other factors that prevent you from training... not everybody has time or money to do so and in that case I think Hellcat Pro is the ticket. To me a bigger gun is more accurate form the two you shown in your video.

I train with many guns because I have many in my rotation. Depends on where I'm going, what I'm doing, what the weather is, what I'm wearing, and my mood. Kinda like shoes.
Is the pro lighter than the SIG p365? Im a woman, i need a lighter one than my sig for CC.
What about the Walter PPK? It is small James Bond’s gun.
Yo quick question it was a terrible idea I ended up painting my pro barrel and had cocking issues blaw blaw i knew it would happen I was just bored and a dumbass. Serious question can the regular hellcat barrel fit the pro barrel? Or could I repaint it black? Any paint ideas

The regular/smaller barrel won't fit the pro, the pro barrel will fit regular, just will hang out front
What is more shootabke? Hellcat pro or hellcat Rdp?

Hmm that's a tough one, I haven't had a chance to review the RDP yet, that the one that already comes with the optic and the compensator right? Being a smaller frame you might enjoy carrying RDP a bit more, but I really like the ergonomics of the Pro, plus you could get the optic later if you wanted one.

Thank you for the answer, RDP version has a 3.8 inch barrel that makes it with 15 rounds magazine the same gun as pro version (in my opinion). In additional it is possible to remove the compensator and install small 11 rounds magazine for case you need really small gun like original hellcat. So i am in a doubt what to take. In my country only one gun is allowed so I am looking for universal solution and both RDP and PRO could be good for me.
Pro for me!

Frank, I had to come back to remind you that instead of the 48, for about the same size or a little smaller you could have had the X-Macro with better trigger & sights and 17 rounds not 10. 🤣🤣🤣

Sig is garbage. They rust, they are not drop safe and the grips are made for small hands
You should try out the EAA witness combat sport 10 mm one day they are very accurate as a 10 mm almost unbelievable I would carry this over any 9 mm handgun
