Wow .. Basically even steven .,

In the few videos I have seen, the Hellcat (terrible name) experiences the same tendency as the P365 which is the slide not always locking back on the last shot fired. With these small guns, it is very difficult to eliminate the effect of the shooter's grip not engaging the slide catch during firing. This is a non issue for me but if you want to eliminate this you better learn to change the position of your shooting hand thumb.
BTW, the new Sig P365 SAS version has probably a solution.
Mine has never failed to lock back with full power ammo, and only a couple of times shooting lower powered ammo one handed. It's a non issue for me.the same tendency as the P365 which is the slide not always locking back on the last shot fired
I've never understood why this is a big deal. When I am shooting a pistol following the +1 shooting method (fire, recoil, reacquire a sight picture) I can't tell if the slide is locked back or not. So I either count my shots, drop magazine and reload or I shoot until I hear click then drop magazine and reload. I don't use the slide STOP as a slide release so the slide locking back is a non issue for me.the slide not always locking back on the last shot fired
First - The grip on either the 365 or the Hellcat (without the extended magazine) are too short for my taste as anything but a backup gun.
Second -

I am betting there will soon be a Ruger and S&W equivalent. The market position has been established.
Agreed. My Shield is 8 rounds and I am happy with that. But you know how marketers works - their job is not to sell us something we need, but convince us we need something they sell. I resist as much as possible, but,unfortunately, occasionally fall prey. I am mortal, after all . . .I for one is not interested at all in high round count in a Micro Pistol. Not sure that every person buying one these days are. A lot of hype going on now. And both guns seem to be designed around a magazine. I shot the 365 with quite a few rounds. Nice gun, but nothing spectacular in the shooting characteristic IMO. I would prefer that Manufactures focus more on quality. Ruger would be smart to do just that.
And I am happy with my 365s, no issues with either of them, and having 12+1 in something the size of a Kahr CM9 is nice.Agreed. My Shield is 8 rounds and I am happy with that.

1. If this pistol works out of the box and there aren’t problems with it the way there was with the Sig 365 I’ll buy one.My P365 has never failed to lock back.
Springfield Armory has attempted to undermine the 2A.
The IFMA consisted of four people, a couple from SA, one from RRA and their lobbyist. They sided with anti 2A politicians in an attempted to eliminate competitors. Of course when it came to the surface both denounced the IFMA's actions as if it were some big separate entity that they had no control over and limited knowledge of. I guess it worked to some extent.2. Springfield Armory (and RRA) did not undermine the Second Amendment. They hired a lobbyist to represent their interests and that one individual made a bad call at the last minute after some back room wheeling and dealing that they were trying to do on something that was never going to be made law.
They immediately went to work severing their ties with the IFMA and it was finalized a few days later.
I'm sure glad a lot of nay sayers on here aren't in charge of R&D for the firearms industry, everyone would still be limited to J frames and 1911's.
