I bought my Hellcat Pro in May 2022. Loved it then and I love it now. BUT!…to me, being a senior at 69 when I bought it, it was a bit uncomfortable to conceal carry with an iwb holster. So, since I was so happy with the performance of the Pro I went and bought the Hellcat original (compact) the following July 2022 which is now my everyday conceal carry. I carry the Pro occasionally just so it doesn’t get its feelings hurt! 😂. I am now 70 years old, have lived on an 8 house property 12 years, and, four of us are conceal carry…two of which is one retired county sheriff, and, another retired local police. I, for some odd reason, woke this morning thinking about buying ‘another’ 9mm…I thought, “have I went nuts???? I can only shoot one gun at a time and I already HAVE two”. But I figured shopping online wouldn’t cost me anything…so, I decided on the Glock 19 Gen 5. Long story short, after watching your video I’ll stay with what I have already and save $600 or more on buying the Glock I mentioned….not counting reliving the holster buying escapade! Great video and very informative, straight to the point, and, with no fluff! Stay safe! ~Jim~
Thanks for your comment my friend. Can't go wrong with a Glock either.
I have a Hellcat pro, and I also have a Gen 5 Glock 19 but I have to admit I like the Hellcat Pro a little bit better.
Yep, I hate to admit it too, but the Hellcat Pro is better.
Thanks for sharing. After taking your concealed carry class, I was considering the Glock. After a few of your other reviews, it sounds like there are some other really good choices out there. Thanks for sharing all this great information.
It all depends on how much you want to spend.
Thank you for this review, I purchased the hellcat pro.
Congrats. How do you like it
I agree with your sentiments. I love Glock still own Glocks, but after buying the hellcat pro, it’s hard to justify buying another Glock.
Very true brother. I wanted to buy a Glock 29 to go with my Glock 20 but I think I will be buying the Springfield XDM Eliete 10mm
I have two glocks (17 gen 3 and 19 gen 5) and a Hellcat. I bought the hellcat when I was in the market for a small 38 ACP pistol. The dealer talked me into giving the Hellcat instead (even though its a 9mm) and I've been very happy with it. The user manual that came with the Hellcat is much easier to read through than the manual that came with my Glocks (this really was a positive for me because, at the time, I was very new to shooting) However, there is something about loading a Hellcat magazine when its fully loaded. It seems like every now and then, it doesn't take the magazine so you have to try loading it again. I don't know if I would face the same situation with the Hellcat Pro, and I'm thinking twice before buying one to find out.
You could’ve been a boxing commentator with that voice
I have both the Glock 19 (gen 5) and the Hellcat Pro. In my opinion these guns are equal out of the box except for the trigger and sights. I absolutely hated the Hellcat Pro trigger and eventually replaced it with an Apex unit. The Hellcat Pro is snappier than the Glock and the slide release is too small. I also replaced the sights on the Glock 19 with a set of TFX Tru Glo Pro sights. With this being said, I would conceal carry either gun now that I have modified both to my liking.
That's the great thing about guns, you can make them suit your needs.
Love my hellcat pro!! Very good shooter and perfect for edc!!
Amen Brother
Good video straight to the point. I just want to say something about the Glock sights, I own 2 Glocks the G19 gen4 and the G43x mos, and yes I changed the sights on both,but that’s personal preference the same way I changed the sights on my other firearms. People go out and purchase a real nice vehicle and start buying mods costing hundreds or thousands of dollars, or a real nice home and start remodeling into the thousands, but complaining about Glock sights. Both firearms are great I own both which one would I take if the world was to end it would probably be the Glock because of the 30 round magazine.
Buy the way I see you installed a red dot on the HC, I bet that wasn’t cheap. Anyway I carry both like them both and definitely liked your video.
I love my Glocks but the Glock plastic sights suck, I change them on all my glocks. I am using a SwampFox Sentinal red dot on the Hellcat Pro. It was under 250.00. I did a review on the Swampfox here so check it out.
@@progun45 thanks I will definitely check it out. I was at the range a few years back and I saw this guy ( about 35 years old) shooting 25 yards with a Glock 17 he was making a 3” group. I couldn’t take it anymore ( haha) so I asked him how long has he been shooting he replied he was military and now he is on a SWAT team. Anyway he was using the original plastic Glock sights plus I’m sure he had 20/20 vision.
thanks for the info. im thinking of buying the hellcat pro over the glock45
Hellcat Pro is a much better value
I have never been a GLOCK fan boy. They are super reliable, but there is nothing special about them. Which striker fired brand has the most after-market support? If it truly is "Perfection" why does it have any support at all? Let alone the most.... lol. Your money can be better spent elsewhere. Great video!
Thank Brother. I've always been a Glock guy. Fter getting the Hellcat Pro, I never looked back.
Fair review. A few thoughts. 1. Metal mags: I don’t think this is a point in that the Glock mags are metal interior with a polymer shell. Very robust and feed lips are well protected. On other hand metal mags of Hellcat allow slightly thinner profile. 2. For larger hands, some may not like the smaller grip of Hellcat. For smaller hands, it may provide better ergonomics. 3. Glock sights suck and need replaced. On the other hand, the cheep sights allow me to replace with my choice without throwing out better sights that may not be to my liking. 4. Glock grip angle can be difficult for people initially, but once accustomed, provides great recoil management. 5. Front serrations are nice touch on Hellcat. I’ve shot Glocks for years, and they are a great gun for hard use. The Hellcat Pro is definitely a strong contender vs the G19. I’m also a fan of the HK P2000, but a very different animal.
Great points.. The Glock Magazines are polymer shell which isn't as strong as metal but not a deal breaker. Glock sights do suck and the first thing I do when I buy a Glock is replace the sights with Truglo TFX Pro sights.
I really appreciate your comment, well presented!
I have both too. I started with the G19. I don't think I would have ever gotten the G if I started with the HCP. It is like night and day! HCP is more expensive but grip, sights, slimmer, and better quality feel/parts overall.
The only thing G beats the HCP is that the G came with a hard case and is cheaper in price. My HCP only came with a fabric zippered bag (no manual, cleaning brush, or trigger lock like in the G)
Love my Hellcat Pro. I got a great deal on the Gear Up Package
Just also got the hellcat pro, pocket carry with a veddor holster
Sweet! Congrats
Great video! Is the XDM Elite mag compatible with the Hellcat Pro mag?
Thanks brother. The Xdm and Hellcat mags will not fit the Hellcat Pro
I own a Hellcat and moved to a 365 into a G19 and now a 43X. Never shot a Hellcat Pro, but how is the recoil compared to the 19?
Very minimal recoil compared to G19
The Hellcat Pro is less snappy than the original Hellcat.
I have both the G19 (Gen 5) MOS and the Hellcat (original). Both are great for their own reasons. My G19 does experience a 0.5%-1% failure rate at the range (FTF, stovepipe, FTE). I've never had a failure of any sort with the Hellcat. Shockingly reliable. It eats anything. With its 11, 13, & 15 rnd mags, it's now my EDC.
I love my Glocks but I love my Hellcat Pro more.
Glock hasn't came up with any new innovation in the last 10 years? How about for the last 30 years. The only difference between those Gen 1 and Gen 5 is a dual recoil spring and front slide serrations. Gl💩ck is mediocre at best and 200 dollars more than it should be
Where did you buy the hellcat pro for that package?? With the 5 mags?
Thank you
My local Rural King had it on sale.
@@progun45 oh that’s a fun store?
@@CeeWorld69 My favorite Store
These are 2 great handguns. Thanks
Yup, can't go wrong with either of them so I got them both. I do think the Hellcat Pro is a better value with the gearup package and it is optic ready.
I only have two issues with the hellcat:
1. It is made by Springfield Armory and they tried to sell out gun owner's 2nd Amendment rights so they could make more money. This is unforgivable and why I will never buy another Springfield product in my life again.
2. The hellcat is a micro pistol, no matter how Springfield tries to dress it up. If you work as a range officer a few days a week (and weekends), you will see hellcats fail more often than glocks. Now, I am *not* saying hellcats are unreliable, they are just not as reliable as boring old glocks and when your life is on the line, it does matter.
Note: I am not a glock fanboi, I used to be a customer of springfield only (and DD for AR-15s). However, after Springfield screwed us over, I bought a VP9 SK for concealed carry and currently own more springfields than any other manufacturer.
You are entitled to your opinion
@progun45 agreed! That's what makes guns great!! Well, #1 isn't an opinion, at least the first part about Springfield selling our 2nd amendment out to make more $$$, it happened sadly.
The second part is opinion but I don't support politicians who want to restrict my 2A rights and I don't understand gun owners giving money to a company that supports it. To each their own 🤷♂️
I have the HellCat Pro and its very accurate and feels better in my hand. Glock not that impressive..
I like the Hellcat Pro better than my Glock 19
Also i switch the sights on both. And the trigger on gen 5s seem to be getting better. I think you really should have compared a gen 5 mos it has serrations and a better trigger the only difference is the hellcatt is slightly smaller
I can't compare what I don't have
@@progun45 i understand but you were giving generalities without the caveat of he look i dont have the newest glock that dose have the features. It just would be a fair comparison that way
Hellcat pro 🔥
The he'll cat pro is not better than the g19. What do yall want them to do??? They are fine like they are and they have changed over the years. Not big changes but I like what they do. They do not need to redo the whole design. Glock is glock. That's what makes them them. They are the best combat pistol. You can make changes yourself if you want all the fancy stuff. Idk why people have to have all that to shoot good. Maybe a light and optic and I'm good to go.
Do you own a Hellcat Pro and a Glock? I own a lot of Glocks but they aren't the only reliable guns on the market. After owning other guns is when I realized how dated a Glock is. Glock has made a living off it's name for years like Apple, but they ain't the only game in town and aren't always better.
@progun45 yea I do but I just love glocks and I don't want them to change anything. Why change something that works and runs good?? I think the xmacro tacops is a very! Good gun tho and I'd take it over the he'll cat pro. I do like my sig. I enjoy all guns. I like that other companies do all the fancy stuff.
@@justusbryant7366 Glocks used to be my favorite but after trying others, they are no longer my favorite. Don't get me wrong, I still like them and won't part with them, but they aren't my Go-To any longer. That's just me.
@@progun45 that's why everyone copied glock. They made a name.
I’m almost on the hellcat train but the trigger kept pinching the crap out of my finger. Anybody change out the trigger?
Strange, I don't have that problem with my Hellcat Pro.
Metal mags why are they better it just seems there mor expensive and glock mags have metal inserts
Metal inserts are not metal mags. The poly will break before a metal mag will
@@progun45 yeah i have had aeveral metal sig mags rust on long range and training days as well. Mags are disposable get new ones if they dont work.
Glock industry is worth in excess of 2 billion dollars, they don't need change. It's glock perfection, 75 perfect of law enforcement carry GLOCK.
I love my Glocks as well. I just think they are dated and I still think the Hellcat Pro is a better value. As far as law enforcement using Glocks, that's a political government contract. The military switched to the Sig P320. I like them both that's why I bought both of them.
Exactly. People seem to forget that Glock pioneered polymer pistols. All other manufacturers are trying to replicate Glock’s success. As for Glock itself- as the old cliché goes- “If it isn’t broken, then don’t try to fix it.”
7:49 Glock liked how HK pioneered the use of polymers. So a young Gaston Glock decided as he was leaving school that balmy afternoon many years ago he will cut through the Black Forrest and sneak a peak into the window of the HK factory. Mein Kampf he exclaimed. I will do this and act like it was me that did this major innovation in firearms. The rest is history.
