Is the Hellcat Pro the new G19, ah…..no, my opinion, not even close, good read though

Springfield Hellcat Pro — Is It the Next Glock 19? - The Shooter's Log

The Springfield Hellcat Pro is a new breed of firearm with quality and capacity that may just make the beloved Glock 19 obsolete.

No way! The Hellcat Pro is a good gun but it can never outperform the G19. The original Hellcat was good but to small for my hands-- always pinching my 2 lower fingers. The Pro is has a longer grip so that isn't issue for me anymore. G19 has been perfect since day one for me size wise.

I know! It's degrading a glock!

I have No interest in either one.

Nope

Better, yes. Perfect, no, but definitely better.
To be fair, I don't like Glocks.
I carry a Hellcat Pro off duty and a Glock 45 on Duty.
Aside from both having terrible triggers, I think the Pro is a better carry gun. With that being said, I'd rather the G45 for my duty gun

I know it seems weird. But I am thinking a distinction of duty vs personal CCW. The G45 is bigger (bigger than both the G19 and the Hellcat Pro). I don't have to worry about concealing it on duty. So I like the G45 as a duty gun. For an Everday carry where size matters, I like my HellCat Pro and would carry it over a G19

No, it’s not.

You aren’t going to see them in police/duty/military use.

Yet more hyperbole from CTD.

But this shouldn’t be a surprise.

I don't like Glocks, but there is no way the Hellcat, pro or not, is in the same league as a G19.
