I looked at one today and it seems very nice. Does anyone own one? If so , what do you think about it? Thanks.

Seems like a very good size for a general purpose carry gun. Too bad it's sold by Springfield Armory. Fuck Springfield Armory.
Consider any of the myriad larger forms of the P365 or a Performance Center Shield with the 4" barrel.

I looked at a Hellcat Pro when I bought my Sig P365X. I really liked the Hellcat. A lot. Then I held the 365X. I never even glanced at the Hellcat again. It’s all about what sits in the hand sometimes. Others, it matters more how it conceals, or shoots, or breaks down for easy cleaning and service. The Hellcat is a nice looking gun, and it seems well designed. It was supposed to be a huge competitor for the 365, but we know who won that one. I’m sure SA sells a bunch, but the “Made in Croatia” label was a huge souring of the deal. I’d still like one, though, because it’s a decent small pistol, and it’s not a Gronk. I mean Grunt. Oops. Grock. Dammit! Glock.

Why some confused people think they hate SA.

Confusion nothing, fuck that! I do not buy that cock and bull story that SA didn’t know what their lobbyist, that they paid and told what to do, was up to. Only a fool would believe that and Springfields continued assertions that they had no idea what the organization they jointly setup was doing, it's insulting to my intelligence.

On top of that Springfield Armory are ripoff artists, they charge premium prices for their garbage quality M1As and and literally doubled the price of the HS200 pistol as soon as they put their name on it.

Springfield Armory is a peice of shit company and anyone that buys their products is a fool for supporting their anti-consumer and anti-gun practices.

DO NOT PURCHASE SPRINGFIELD ARMORY PRODUCTS!

I also went the route of the sig. I like that there are options. I bought the 365 and the 364 xl. I can choose to go with them straight or make the 365X or do the shorter grip with the longer slide/barrel.
I can also buy the Xmacro slide. There’s a ton of aftermarket parts for the sigs as well. I have not looked into the SA aftermarket parts so I can’t compare there. I personally like the xl combination the best and highly recommend the Wilson combat grips if you get one.
