My Hellcat Pro
I got mine with the extras already, didn't have to send for them last Friday, my range was closed for repairs. It reopened yesterday, so I got to go shooting.
I put 100 rounds through the Hellcat Pro. I had 50 rounds of Blazer Brass 115 grain FMH and 50 Rounds of Federal American Eagle 142 grain FMJ.
I forgot to bring a a mag loader, and I couldn't cram the 15 rounds in a magazine. So since I had 5 magazines, I decided to try 3 mags with 10 rounds each of each ammo. Then I could test each mag for function ( I know, still need to check function fully loaded) and check to make sure each bullet functioned in the gun and see if one was better. I then took the remaining rounds and did mixed magazines and shot rapid fire to check function.
The gun was 100% flawless. 0 issues chambering or ejecting. One weird thing, 2 magazines (I am guessing they were the ones that came with the gun) were a little harder to load. You can't load them straight down; you really have to go in at an angle. I am guessing it is because they have a staggered stack? I have never noticed this in any other magazine I have ever loaded. The other 3 mags had a touch of this, but not nearly as bad.
My first 30 rounds were the Blazer Brass. I wasn't shooting super slow for bullseye accuracy, but not rapid fire either. About 15 feet
Then 30 rounds with the Federal, same pace
At that distance, I wish my groups were tighter. I am sure they tighten up over time.
I really do like the gun. Good trigger for a striker fired.
Sights were amazing. No complaints at all.
I did notice the gun jumped around a bit in my hand. I had to play around with my grip.
But it's a smaller grip than I am used to, and I have big hands (I can palm a basketball) and it's lighter than I am used to. I was expecting a bit more snap, and I got it. But I was getting the hang of it before I left. Muzzle flip/rise really wasn't too bad and I could get the front sight back on target pretty quickly.
All in all, I am very satisfied with it.
It definitely isn't a range toy, but I will definitely be comfortable with it being my EDC, assuming that I have successful tests with some hollow point ammunition

Re: My Hellcat Pro
Really nice work man. I would say they both are pretty similar and your shot is pretty reliable.

I mean, they are all minute of bad guy. I would like to tighten them up a bit, but at least I know my round are going to be center mass

Re: My Hellcat Pro
Good to hear that's it's working well for you. You need to work on your shooting though and reduce the groups sizes by at least 50%.
More dry firing and practical range time...
Enjoy

Re: My Hellcat Pro
I enlarged the grips of a couple handguns with a piece of bicycicle inner tube slipped over the grip.
