I shot a Springfield Hellcat today

And now I want one. Super comfortable to carry. Lighter than my Ruger LC9 or Glock 19. Almost as slim as the LC9 and slimmer than the 19. Still holds 13 rds.
Yall got any reasons that I shouldn't be buying one?

I haven’t seen one so I can’t say.
I would encourage you to look at the Sig P365 or p365 xl before you buy the hellcat.

Thanks, the guy who let me shoot his hellcat said something similar.

I bought one and liked it so much I bought another.

Agreed on the p365. Fine gun, love the shite out of mine

Anyone have experience with the p365 slide on the XL frame?

Putting the p365 on the p35 xl frame?
Are you asking if it is compatible?

No way it's lighter than an LC9

You're right, but it's closer than I thought. Unloaded, the Springfield Hellcat is 17.9 ounces whereas the Ruger LC9s is 17.2 ounces. Of course, when both are loaded the Hellcat's increased mag capacity will increase the difference in weight even more.

It felt really close when I held them both up. I saw another guy post that they are within an ounce. I guess I was all starry eyed

It’s a gun, so no.

I shot one recently and didn't like the slide serrations at all...just didn't inspire confidence.
Went with the p365.

Yes i have, works perfectly and is just the right size for me.I normally carry a sig p938 with a plus 1 mag in my front pants pocket. The 365 slide on xl frame is just slightly longer in the grip and a little thicker in diameter.

Awesome. Did you swap the trigger/striker internals also or just the slide?
Posted on 2/10/20 at 11:33 pm to pmacattack
Yes, i just purchased the xl grip module from Sig and swapped my parts. Only took a couple of minutes. All you have to do is knock out the pin at the back of the grip, pull the takedown lever and the entire inner parts of the gun come out in one piece. Then install in the xl grip module. Sig P320’s are the same way only they dont have the rear pin. Only have to pull takedown lever.

Should be a non issue and I just haven't gotten to the range yet... but I put my P365 slide on the XL frame.

Because a VP9sk exists.

Heavier. Holds less rounds. Cost more. Not predrilled for optic. The right answer to his question is no reasons, besides availability. Buy it.
