Hellcat Owner Questions

Definitely you want a pocket holster even if it's a thin Uncle Mikes or whatever that covers the trigger guard
I have a Sticky holster I use for this but wouldn't pocket carry a handgun this size & weight
That is Airweight/Airlight S&W stuff or Ruger LCP or the like...

Here's the tip of the day

Don't be stupid and use a pocket holster.

I am planning to pocket carry. I will practice somewhat, but this won't be my target pistol. I am looking for something that will not be seen unless necessary, I have 2xl+ hands and like the extended clips magazines.

FIFY

Don't be stupid and use a pocket holster.

Are you saying it's stupid to use a pocket holster? Or saying "Don't be stupid. Use a pocket holster" ?

Based on previous post, I think I know which one you are saying, but confirming.

My carry for the last few years has been a 365. Only issue I had with it was the grip circumference felt too small. Shot it well, but it wasn't comfortable.

When the HC came out, it felt better in hand than my 365 and was optics ready. So it followed me home. Took it to the range and shot a couple boxes of FMJ, but it wasn't my finest shooting. Have issues with the trigger. Just can't keep it still when pulling it. I can't blame it on flinching since I do it when dry firing also. It seems to be a bio-mechanical problem. No such problem with any other pistol, just the HC.

Bought a Wilson Combat grip module for the 365 and am in love with it. Feels much better in the hand and points completely naturally. Better than it did originally.

I ordered an IWB Holster from We the People & should be here later this week for the Hellcat OSP cut for optics

Next order of business: Order a holster clip or two from DCC and throw that FOMI clip away. https://discreetcarryconcepts.com/HLR-Discreet-Gear-Clips™-c26960683

It really depends on what you want in a gun. Like others said, it's small, the recoil is kind of ridiculous (for a 9mm). Not super enjoyable to shoot. But man it's nice to carry something that small with 11+1 rounds and 13/15 round mags available. Plus a rail for a light. If you're going to carry the gun a lot, it's a good choice. If it's mostly going to stay in your night stand, get something more enjoyable to shoot. There are a million mid size "compact" guns that fit the bill. If you're set on this size, try out the p365 too.

Shoot a XDS45 and a Hellcat back to back. The Hellcat has no recoil compared to it...

I've used these in bags, not in a pants pocket, but I think as long as the plastic/kydex has strong retention and the pocket is empty of other stuff, the trigger should be pretty well protected.

However if the lanyard is tied to your belt loop it might get snagged on something. And a trigger guard holster probably won't do much to keep your gun in the right orientation in your pocket like a proper pocket holster would
