Feels like a big “meh” to me but we’ll see.

After doing some research, I think I'm leaning towards the Sig P365.  It's basically the gun that Springfield modeled the Hellcat after.  It's only 10+1 instead of 11+1, but it's a Sig and Made in USA.  Springfield is made in Croatia like the XD series.

There's a hellcat vs 365 video on Youtube I'm going to watch.
Planning on moving away from my Walther PPS M2 and into a hellcat or a 365.
Mainly because my Walther is a 7+1...

I carry a Glock 19 in my truck and a Taurus G2c in the Jeep.
I have Walther Creed but it's a little bit to big for daily carry.

Got the itch to buy some thing else!

The Glock 43 has been an awesome personal carry gun for me. G19 in a safe next to the bed and Springfield in another safe near the front door. Hope I never have to use any of them but I’m ready.

I hear that.  I carry a G43 (7+1 w/+1 mag ext) and I also keep a Ruger LCP in my Jeep's Tuffy Console box (have a leather holster for it riveted to the side).  Also have a G19 in the bedroom - it's a Gen 2 I bought in '92.

I probably don't need another carry but buying a new gun is always fun and 11 rounds is even more fun.

if it aint on ya with one in the chamber it might as well be a paper weight, no matter what the gun is.

this is possible alternative to the "uponya" .32
 I carry in Jeep.

My other handguns are too large (python .357 & .40 G22)  to tuck into the Jeep or for Lisa or Cadence to handle quickly , so I carry a lil Davis sat night special ; it is long overdue for replacement. Plus, it is a POS, heh.

I think I will go try one of these out. Looks good for big hands which is my issue with most .9mms

I have had terrible experiences with several Taurus hand guns. Not sure I would trade money savings for safety.

I saw that last week for the first time.   Pretty darn cool.  I’m a glock fan.   There’s tons of good  .22 pistols but that G44 looks slick.

I agree.  I carry the G43 as well and it’s a great gun and very comfortable to CC

Interested to see how it runs.  I have been using an Advantage Arms 22lr upper on a G17 lower as a trainer for a long time.  Only thing they missed on was no RMR mount.

How long ago was that? Products do evolve over time.
I've never had a problem with my G2. It rides in the truck. I also like my Glock 19.

Taurus has had some good frames such as the G2 but failures i have experienced are the Millennium PT models 138, 145 and 609. Just not my favorite compared to the reliable Glock and S&W frames.

Yes they had problems in the past and terrible customer service according to reviews. They have really stepped up their game from what I've heard and researched. I have had zero issues with my G2c and it's only a year old. I had a 709 slim and a 809...sold the 709 because it was to small and sold the 809 because it was to big.

I love my G43, shoots true , looking for a 19 to keep in the rig , but the 43 is super small, and i like it.   Guns are very personal to ppl, if you like it, its perfect for you, each person has their own reasons why they like this gun or that, point is...  find one you like a and carry it.  :)

Picked up the Hellcat Monday evening. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but it feels good in the hands.

Ordered a IWB holster for it. Should be here tomorrow.

Nice, please give us a range report.

Colt is bringing back the Python and I'm planning to buy one.  Just take my money.
