CC choices: P938, Micro 9, Hellcat

I love my Hellcat. Bought two for different carry configurations. At their price point, why not?

P938, Micro 9

I have both of these. No experience with the Hellcat but if capacity is an issue, I'd look harder at it.

Between the 938 and the Micro 9 I'd go with the 938. The Kimber Micro 9 is a great gun but the trigger on it from the factory is atrocious. Mine had a 5-pull average pull weight of 7.5lbs. I installed a new trigger that got it down to 3.5lbs and it turned out to be a great gun. The 938 is just a perfect gun right out the box.

I like the S&W M&P Shield. They just just came out with the Shield Plus that has a 13+1 capacity.

I also like the Sig P365 or the P365XL.

I didn’t really care for the Hellcat, but several people have told me how much they like it.

Best thing to do is get your list and go to a range that lets you test them all for a flat fee.

Gotta shoot em, baw. what we like doesn't matter. I didn't like the hellcat when I shot it, another poster above me said he loves it.

and put the p365 on your guns to try list like a normal baw in 2021

Yeah. Kimber has gotten squirrelly apparently with quality control. My recent Custom II 45 purchase turned out great.....lucky I guess.

I’m intrigued by the P365 honestly, but do plan a try out at my range. P938 has always felt so nice and is a solid metal setup that’s screams quality......just lower mag content

P938 is a great pocket carry gun

Of the guns you've mentioned, the only one I have is the Kimber Micro 9. It's been my main cc gun when I'm not at work. Obviously, I like it. I've not had any problems w/ the gun itself. It's my second most accurate gun. It handles all ammo well, both cheap and expensive. At first I was disappointed w/ the 10# trigger, I was pleased when it pretty quickly dropped to 7.5#, the factory spec. I don't want a really light trigger on a cc gun. The P938 and Micro 9 are basically the same gun, just different manufacturers. While the P938 and Micro 9 are both SAO guns, the Hellcat is a striker fired, different platforms. If I were you, I'd first decide which platform you want, SAO or striker. I carry my Micro 9 w/ a 7 round mag in it and have a back up 8 round mag in my left front pocket. Yeah, neither gun hav as many rounds as the Hellcat, but I'm ok w/ a 7 or 8 round mag.

The floating kind for the inevitable boating accident in your future.

P365XL is the correct answer.
