Saw on Buds the Hellcat Pro OSP. It comes with 5 mags, red dot sight and a range bag for $599
Bought it to replace my S&W Shield 9mm. Went to Bass Pro and handled one. Definitely feels better and it comes with four 15 rd mags and one 17 rd mag.
Anyone got thoughts on the Hellcat or how they like/dislike theirs
 
I've got a regular Hellcat OSP with a Sig Romeo Zero sight installed. The advantage of having a red dot sight co-witness with the iron sights helps in acquiring the dot when training. The gun has proved very reliable. It is a handful when shooting, as any very small 9mm would be, but the grip remains solid. I've not found any flaw in the design or quality. That deal sounds like a great price.

Friend of mine bought one of those, he had me shoot it because he thought there was something wrong with it. It has one of the weirdest triggers I've ever shot, and the geometry of the pistol in my hand caused me to shoot it very low.... it was just a really bad combination. I had to rest it and micromanage my trigger pull to get it on paper... where it showed good accuracy. Maybe it was just me, but I thought it was a horrible pistol. I don't think my friend has taken it to the range since...

I have had very similar experience with mine.
It shoots a bit left....I'm sure it's me. I'm talking about 2 inches at 15yds. I think it's trigger pull related.
Other than that. 100% reliable. It shoots good groups.
Very concealable. Very good sights. I have two 10rd, two 13rd, and two 15rd mags.
 
I think it's trigger pull related.

As I mentioned, it shot well when I was able to control the trigger. I think it was a combination of the odd trigger, and the hand position... for me. It is not unlike my Kahr CM9, which, because of the shorter grip, I tend to shoot a bit low when compared to my 'full size' CW9, except I don't have issues with the trigger. :)
