Hellcat vs P365

I own both the 365 and the G43. The 43 is a little bit smaller and lighter if that makes a difference to you. Both of them shoot well for what they are- little pocket rockets. The 365 is a bit nicer to shoot and the extra round capacity is nice, plus I like the sights on it better then my 43. Both are easy enough to break down and clean. I have no experience with the Springfield. Good luck on your purchase.

 

I went with a 365 tacpac. It came with 3 - 12rd mags and a holster. The holster kinda sucks, but I picked up a desantis slim tuck while I was there. I also got the regular 10rd mag with a pinky extension. This gun is amazing.

 

I own the 365 and it’s in my edc. One of the biggest advantage I saw the 365 had over the hc is 3 things.

1.It’s been through the tests. Sig fixed the problems and it’s a great weapon now. The hell cat hasn’t been out long enough to know.

2. interchangeability . The “gun” can be moved to a 365xl frame in minutes. The magazines are interchangeable from 365xl to 365. Just not vice versa.

3. The feel of the firearm for me is much more comfortable. The hellcat for me wasn’t as grippy. Even with XL sized hands I feel like I got a much tighter purchase than I could on the hell cat. Mainly around the thumb to forefinger pad area.

 

I shot it and with the first mag I was much more comfortable and shooting a lot better than with my walther that I had tons of practice with. I didnt even have to rent the hellcat to know that I wanted this gun instead.

 

Did these ever actually release? I was part of the Kickstarter for them and after months of no communication I backed out and just said screw it. I have the 43x and the 43 as well as the p365 and yes I am a complete fan boy of Glock. But to me the 365 for its 12+1 mag and being smaller , slimmer than the 43 I choose to carry the 365. Now if those mags are out you may have changed me and my 365 will find its way to my bag gun.

 

Been carrying a 365 for over a year now. It was initially purchased to replace my G43 (more rounds in the same frame profile is a win). At the time of purchase, it was the smoothest running micro 9 on the market. I just bought a 365XL with Zero optic. For a minimum increase in frame length, it is even smoother than it's sibling with minimal flip. I am concerned about the longevity of the optic in everyday carry, but at that price point, I can afford to replace it if necessary.

 

I'm not interested in an optic on my EDC but I am strongly considering replacing my Shield with the 365 or XL. Do you notice a difference on the hip between the two?

 

I'm not a small man (read dunlops disease) following my retirement from service. I carry appendix style, and the only time I've noticed a difference is squatting down. It is super slim and very easy to carry.

 

Gotcha, I carry at 4 o'clock but can't hide a bigger gun as well (30" waist), and I've gotten pretty used to the size of the Shield these last 10 years. Kinda scary to mix it up but those 5-6 extra rounds are so tempting.....

 

Yup, my buddy has a G48 and 2 S15's, he loves it as a combo. Were it not for the S15's he'd probably have gone elsewhere for a carry gun.

 

My full size has been a P320x this year. I have no issue carrying appendix in the winter (baggy winter cloths can hide a bazooka), but summer is a different story .... unless I wear an untucked loose fitting button down. I carried at 4 o'clock for many years, but one advanced pistol class taught me that appendix was significantly faster in presentation, so I experimented with holsters until I found a way to make it happen.

 

Between the two choices I'd probably go with the P365. That being said I'd look at some S&W for a more affordable CCW. I like my Shield for CCW due to the the size and functionality for the cost.

 

I do dig the functionality the optics ready version offers. They're solid packages out of the box, if overshadowed by the wonderstacker crowd with the G43x/G48/Hellcat/P365.

 

Shield is a solid option, and it is a good choice for the money. I've owned 4 of them (9mm, 40cal, 45, and a 9mm performance center edition). The only one I have left is the performance center edition, and it has been gathering dust in the safe.

 

I got on the web site and ordered the 15rd mags and mag catch with no problem. Turned my G48 into my EDC

 

365 XL

 

Glock 43x or 19

 

Assuming you're running the S15 mags, whichever shoots better in your hands. If you like the G43, G43x, and G48, buy the G43 and the 48, you can mix and match slides without issue.

 

it is all a matter of what you can successfully conceal. I personally like my glock 19.

 

Just an FYI the Springfield XD was a Croatia made pistol before Springfield bought the rights to It. was something 2000 full name I cant recall but I do understand the concerns that its not made in the USA
