WNYBuckHunter Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I figured I would get something that the current powers that be wouldn’t want me to get with part of my gubbement stimulus. So I headed off to Runnings to see what they had in stock, if anything, and they didn’t disappoint. They had just what I have been looking for, a Springfield Hellcat 9mm. It’s a great pistol for CC, nice and small, thin, light weight and plenty of capacity at 10+1. I grabbed some extra mags, and was able to get a box of target loads and a small box of Critical Defence as well. I ordered a very nice IWB holster for it, which is supposed to be here Monday. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robhuntandfish Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Please tell me you are immediately going to carry that hellcat IN the hellcat! This is a must! Nice pistol . I looked at them a bit myself. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 When I got my Sig 365 those weren't available. If they were I'd have taken a hard look at them. I bought a few holsters for mine then settled (happily) for a PJ Holster, inside the pants with a hook that goes under the belt. I can grab it and go within a moments notice..... Good luck with your new piece John. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with your new piece John. I ordered mine from We The People Holsters. Vacuum molded Kydex with the second amendment screen printed on it. It has the clip that goes under the belt like you describe. I’ll post a pic when it gets here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomad Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Very nice John ! I always forget about Runnings . I was just shooting at the Webster Militia Proving Grounds ( located in Ontario county ) last Thursday , should have checked it out , I tend to turn the other way and go to The Other Half , after . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I barely feel these. It’s put on there to be some sort of safety I guess. Most of the SA handguns use a pinch safety where there’s a button on the back of the grip and the 2 stage trigger. These don’t have the pinch safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I just got a Glock model 43 9mm and 2 whole boxes of ammo! Still in the box and planning to take it to the range this weekend. Pics forthcoming, but it is a pistol without a soul. Simply a tool. That Hellcat is borderline sexy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisw Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 How does it feel compared to the XDS I wonder? I've yet to fondle the hellcat but I love my XDS 45. I could use another 9mm... Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
