Based florida hellcat owner. The only benefit of the pro is a slightly longer barrel, which goes against the point of a subcompact to me. The base gun has 11, 13, as well as 15 mags that make it the exact same height as the pro, and they all fit well for good grips.
Not that anon, but I have a Hellcat and pretty much always carry the 13. The 15 is nice and not really much bigger, but is kind of noticeable.
I've considered the PRO and the Sig equivalent, but haven't bothered to buy either since I already have the standard Hellcat. If I didn't own a Glock 19, I'd buy the PRO or 365XL in a heartbeat.
The 11 is really only for when you absolutely need it, like when you wear thin/tight clothing or when you're carrying where you're not supposed to. For me that's most of the time, so it's nice. When I don't give a shit about printing regardless of what I wear, like when I run at night, I use the 13 or 15.

Longer barrel actually helps with concealment and only becomes a hinderance if its so long it starts poking you weirdly. What really matters is grip height for concealment
>Longer barrel actually helps with concealment
Not the way I do it. I maximize comfort, wear whatever the frick I want, and can do nearly any athletic movement. Only way to do that for concealed is with a small gun being entirely beneath the waistband. I didn't even get a light for it until I realized the tlr6 was made to be flush with its barrel. It's a shitty light, but at least it exists and has a cool laser.
Please consider the following: >3.7" barrel means that common defensive loadings other than 124gr +p will actually expand reliably, unlike 3.1" guns, so you aren't limited to using only the snappiest of 9mm loads in a subcompact >more size efficient, fits more rounds for a given height >non moronic slide cut, the hellcat is only cut for shit tier optics >better developed after market >supposedly a better shooting gun(less flippy) according to most people >can mix and match lower frames and slides
I wanted to like the hellcat, and honestly its still pretty great, but the p365 just has it beat overall. P365 XL with with a decent optic and normal p365 grip frame is the best overall choice IMO and i say that as somebody who really isnt a sig fan. Fortunately the p365 seems to be through its "beta testing on consumers" phase and is pretty mature in its own right.
I sometimes carry a PPQ, and mostly a Glock 42. There's not a well defined pattern to it, mostly how much gun I can tolerate hanging on my belt. Is there really any point to try and minmax size and firepower and find something between those two?

SIG P365
Bone stock Glock 17. Stop fricking around with trendy micros
Glock 17 is far too big to carry daily for me. I don’t do jeans and baggy T’s. Comfy shorts and vest tops for me.
I don’t care about the trends, I care that it needs to be carried in hot weather clothing because I live in a shithole swamp

Do you carry with the 11 or 13rd mag?
I think I’d like to carry the 13, in which case the pro makes more sense, less than half an inch taller for 2 more rounds

if your gun cant reliably cycle when limpwristing, its not reliably enough to carry. this is why you ALWAYS go glock.

Whichever one you choose, get a better red dot than the one in your picture.
I'd rather get that p365 XL or anything but a Springfield. If anything the only thing that overrides my hatred of Springfield is the Helion.
Same but frick Sig instead. The p365 is the only good I would ever consider from them, and I still don't plan on buying it.
Honestly I have a p320 X FULL SIZE ™©® and it's not a bad handgun. Worst thing are the fricking mags being so god damn expensive.
Glock 17long cut to a 26 grip.
X macro, I can't shoot a fricking hellcat to save my life.

I see no reason for the hellcat pro to exist. Just fricking carry a 19 at that point.
But get a homosun either way you homosexual. and a TLR7sub.
a snubnose
It doesnt matter fool, watch the gunthots review of all those micro compacts theyre all the same they all suck
Nobody carrying a gun smaller than their hand has operator fantasies with it, and it's more than enough to drop a Black person right in front of you.
