Anyone notice the new introduction on March 4 th. of the new Hellcat Pro.


Basically a 3.7 " barrel and a grip length that accommodates the 15 round magazine minus grip sleeve,a XL if you will.
I can for see some interesting slide frame combinations coming out of this release in the future.

Apologies, the centre of Seen mass. Many times the full body is obscured behind hard cover. Hence we use partial targets, etc. Also we use various shooting positions, not always standing stationary but moving. Training i hope we never need, but its nice to have.

One of the range setups for a Sunday afternoon. Some stages long, others short.

Sorry this is my not so good contribution. At range today from 10/15/25 yards at targets. At times i shoot only into the squares drawn (4"), at other times targets as shown. Black is hard cover and represents a miss. From the draw and trying 2 shots per second, double taps. Sometimes the first round hit the second, sometimes missed.

The above should have read from the draw, first round always hit, it's the second one that at times goes astray.
Comes from allowing the wrist to break and not holding grip firmly enough. Mostly my second shot misses (there are not many), but very few at 10 and 15 yards, but a few more at 20/25.
Actually looking at the patches on the targets, i changed packets and the newer patches are almost identical colour as the target and does not represent the number of hits (or shots fired) on target especially on the single target in the middle, which i fired at the square representing a 4" steel plate.
My practice usually is using 200 or so rounds, i fire 50 rounds at 10 yards, 100 plus rounds at 15 yards, 30-40 at 20/25 yards.
I'm sure the Pro is nice and will find a market,
but for me the chief benefit of a Hellcat is its small size.
Yes you are so right making it bigger adding the big tv screen sights extended mags all defeat the purpose of the hellcat but to each his own for me it's a standard black hellcat iwb all day every day

Correct,with the original you have the choice of capacity and size depending on your needs at the time, it's very easy to insert a 15 round magazine with sleeve in if one is at the range and go back for concealed carry, your choice but with the Pro model that won't happen.

New to the forum. Just picked up my Hellcat Pro. Field stripped and hit it with a little lube. Going to the range tomorrow to shoot some ball and jhp's from 100 to 147gr. It will supplement my Staccato C for concealed carry.
