ARTrooper Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 So hopefully i will be getting a new conceal carry pistol the beginning of the new year that will double as a secondary in an ankle holster for when i am on duty. I have not gotten any experience with the Hellcat, so would just like to hear what you guys' thoughts are on it. I know there is some political stuff involving springfield which some gun owners have boycotted them for, but i havent the foggyiest what that is all about.

98Z5V Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 I shot last Sunday with a local guy that's got one - we didn't shoot it then, though. He's not impressed with it. I'll grill him more later on the why of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTrooper Posted December 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Basically i am looking at the hellcat, the sig 365, and springfield's xds mod2 in 9mm. Nothing else has really stuck out ton me as a contender for what i plan to use it for. (Desclaimer: i hate glocks and thats why the glock 43 isnt on my mind) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagebrush Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) i have been packing the sig 365 as a concealed carry gun since last spring. it replaced a kahr pm9. the 365 has a very good trigger and sights Edited December 5, 2019 by sagebrush was a pm9 not 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Not sure what your needs are, but the Springfield Armory XD-S, in .45 ACP, is easily concealable in 3.3" barrel and almost as easy but with better balance (IMO) in 4.0" barrel. I know it only holds 5+1, but that's why they make extra magazines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 The Hellcat with the red dot looked interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTrooper Posted December 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 @sagebrush thanks, the p365 is def a contender. @Sharpshooter i like how the xd-s feels and came close to buying it last month but didnt have the money. Whatever i buy will be in 9mm though because thats mostly what i shoot and my agency is going from .40 to 9mm next year. Also this will be carried on duty in an ankle holster and say i needed to grab it in a scuffle, i might not have the best grip or shooting position, which is another reason to have the lighter recoiling 9mm. Plus the added rounds in the mag would be nice. 10 hours ago, unforgiven said: The Hellcat with the red dot looked interesting. I thought about the red dot one. I have never shot a red dot but would like to. I am not sure i would want one for this purchase due to carrying it often on my ankle. Plus i dont want something i have to turn on if i am in a last ditch scenario. For my primary sidearm, i would love a red dot though.

Sisco Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Not to complicate the issue, but the S and W M & P 9 is a great value in a subcompact. Very happy with mine. My second choice was an XD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the size of the hams that are your forearms. Look at the torso. We've already seen you ECLIPSE an FNX-45 in your paw, and it looks like a micro gun on normal-man hands... You're a Goliath. You're not normal, brother. You can say what you want, but just the shadow from your backside could eclispe a small crowd... Take no offense to that - when it comes down to it, I just want to paint you in violent colors, point you towards the enemy, and just unleash you...

Cunuckgaucho Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Seriously a .22 looks bigger in my hand then the 9mm in Sisco's hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's literally, a FUCKING GIANT. He'll back-talk that, and try to downplay it, in a way, try to mitigate his own fucking giant size... But we're not buying it. The pictures he's posted over the years make sense now. He's BIGGER than normal. Like, WAY BIGGER. FNX-45 in his hand looked like a Walther 22 in mine. We just need to get down on all this, and call it what it is... @Sisco is pretty much Shrek. It's that simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 And I though Larry was a big motherfucker... which he is, have no doubt... Larry is not normal. He's WAY BIGGER than normal... Al isn't even on the same plane. He has to be part kryptonite. Or part dinosaur. Something really, really fucking BIG... I feel like less of a man for posting this... about these huge fuckers...

DNP Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Cats, bro crushes....have you checked your estrogen level? I’m thinking you’ve been smearing too much vagisil on the wounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTrooper Posted December 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 I am glad you guys chimed in, because i was going to comment on sisco's size and how he he could conceal carry a barrett .50 😂 @Sisco and i looked at the m&p subcompact 9, i dont really care for it. Smith and wesson has never been my cup of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to see big, you should see my wife’s nephew visiting me. An “8 and 1/4” hat size, and 5 inches taller then me. He was 13 pounds at birth. That is called naturally big!

You deserve the kudos! Ah, you got it in there, brother, and that's what's important - Army-wise, I had a 12-mile roadmarch "technique" that always worked. Timed 12-mile roadmarches with a FAT ruck were a common thing, and they always sucked. You just had to figure out a way to make it suck LESS. King-Sized Snickers, Budweiser (back in the day) and Extra Strength Midol. Oh, Sony Walkman with some AC/DC, too. The "technique" that worked for me was JAMMIN'!!! Sony Walkman in an ammo pouch, turned up to 11... Mile 4, eat an Extra Strength Midol (keeps swelling down, in your extremities - hands and feet - they swell, in a timed roadmarch, pushing yourself - it's a blood-flow thing, and Midol helps, shiit you not. Mile 6- pull a Bud from another ammo pouch and slam it. Mile 8- kill that King Sized Snickers, and eat another Bigass Midol... Mile 10 - kill another Bud. Mile 12 ends it all, before you ever realized it was the end. AC/DC is still maxed out... record times, on alot of roadmarches. Most of the time, I'd run/jog the whole thing, and people thought I was nuts... Be the machine... Once you're in their head, you can't lose, and you can't fail. You only defeat them...
