I had one. It was okay. I traded it and got a Hellcat Pro I like much, much, much better.

Love mine. Might buy a second as a spare. Lately been thinking about buying a ProComp for no good reason. lol But in a ban state, 10+1 is the best I can do, making the gun bigger doesn't get me much.   |

It's a Garrett. Leather lined kydex. I have a few of them and really like them. I actually have another Garret for the Hellcat I need to sell, I bought two similar models but ended up liking this one best. www.giholsters.com |

I believe Axehandle would have much to add to this thread. Think he did one of his mini reviews on it here, somewhere.

The Hellcat I had gave me no trouble. I liked it. I just like the Hellcat Pro better.
The argument will be concealment by those who like to chase small things.
I have found, after study, comparisons in measurements even looking at the difference with a dial caliper, and trying different sizes guns is.
Unless one is very small, has a physical problem or is going to wear skinny jeans and a tight top or tight shorty shorts with a wife beater small differences in size is just for discussion to have something to discuss.
In real life it makes no real difference unless one is prone to obsessing over small things.
I have pocket carried my Hellcat Pro.
I am 5'10" and 175 pounds.
BTW. I did not mean this post in a condescending, hurtful or disrespectful way.
Just stating my belief based on what I have observed and my knowledge of people.

Good Hellcat experiences here. Personal gun and range gun. We have lots of small 9mm handguns to play with on the range. After a 40 year relationship with Springfield products when it was time for a small 9mm handgun, I bought the Hellcat. As a side note we installed MCarbo trigger kits in the SIG 365 and marveled at the improvement the kit made. Ordered their kit for the Hellcat and never saw the need to install it.

I would add, we all don't live in the same place. Some places if your gun gets seen, no big deal. Others, it's possibly life changing.
