Guys is a used hellcat 9mm for $400 worth it or nah?

Buy that shit

>>63939757 (OP)
You won't regret it unless something is seriously wrong with it.

It is a soulless and disgusting mass produced striker fired plastic abomination in eurokek chambering. I wouldn't own or shoot that gun unless I was being paid $1000 a month to do so.

>>63939845
I'll give you a thousand bucks to shoot a Hellcat. It has to be aimed at your head, though. Deal?

>>63939866
Such a despicable firearm is unfit even for suicide.

>>63939845
>muh SOVL

What is it you want? what would satisfy your tastes? Guns are made of polymer now and will continue to be until the end of time or until we discover something with even less SOVL. Guns are also mass produced and not handcrafted, hand-fitted bespoke luxury goods. I don’t understand why you faggot contrarians have to hate everything.

I didn't read your comment.

>>63939845
You don't even own guns.

>>63939838
It's not gonna jam on me every 10 rounds or something if it's been well used...right?

>>63940388
nta it's probably too big for you to read, that's okay, small man likes small words, makes sense.

>>63939845
god damn you sound like a moron

>>63940470
no. The Hellcat is a legitimately great compact handgun. Very reliable and ergonomic.

>>63939757 (OP)
muh slide/bore axis
Glock 43x with 15 psa Mags or M&P 9 Shield Plus

>>63939757 (OP)
It's a good gun for $400.

I like my hellcat, it conceals well but is still nice to shoot. I only really carry it during the summer though, once Big coat season comes around I switch to my G19

>>63939757 (OP)
Not a fan of gloncks or nig nauer, how does the hellcat compare to the shield plus?

>>63943229
if you cant afford the 2 cartons of cigarettes difference in buying a different gun then your priorities are a bit out of wack
a mugger doesnt have much to steal from you anyhow

>>63943695
Skip the gun and just do this for the mugger

>>63939757 (OP)
just get a glock

>>63943725
you might not want a glock
the difference between $400 and $500 shouldnt be the deciding factor
you can probably find G26 and G19s for $400

>>63943725
Glock has no comparable product.

>>63943837
g43x and all the other single stack Glocks

>>63943725
That's like saying
>Just get a hipoint
>Just get a keltec
>Just get a taurus
Quit shilling for slop

>>63943841
>Single stack in 2015+10

>>63943845
glocks pretty much work
ZogZauer is practically Taurus level QC these days
well Taurus will actually admit their guns suck

>>63943851
>glocks pretty much work
>needs $500 worth of mods to make it as good as a $400 RXM
anon I...

>>63943849
they have multiple 15 round mag replacements

>>63943854
>new sights cost $500
they dont
>but I need
no you dont nigger

>>63939757 (OP)
Hellcat was my first gun. It’s okay. Not great, but passable. Buying used I would probably go now more than 300. For $400 you can get a new Glock that does the same thing as the Hellcat but better, and new.

>>63943855
I'd rather use oem 10 round Glock magazines than put my life in the hands of aftermarket magazines that have not gotten the seal of approval for reliability from Glock

>>63943857

Yes.

>>63943872
>implying the aftermarket non plastic sights that everyone buys have the (((Glock))) seal of approval

>>63943869
Maybe that was possible before 2020 but not anymore. Somehow this hellcat I found is cheaper than used g43s on gunbroker. Also not a fan how the g43 does have any rails for mods

My only concern is the infamous trigger jams SA guns are known for

>>63943929
I’ve seen G19s go pretty low. Maybe not less they 400 but pretty close. It’s what I wish I did back then. I still bring my hellcat along some days, in my backpack though. It’s an okay compact but I rarely use it anymore.

>>63944023
Does the trigger ever lock up or cause you any problems?

i love how you can tell its just one dude going into every thread and making all these brainless shitposts. hes been doing it all weekend.

>>63944052
I’ve had no real malfunctions or problems. It’s just not for me.

>>63944057
shilling for slop must get boring, xhey should stick to the ukraine and israel threads or however the propaganda is spread

>>63944139
Thx anon.

>>63943841
Completely different size class. Glock has no comparable products.

>>63939757 (OP)
I trust this gun more than any other gun I own. I don't know how many rounds are on it but it's gotta be close to 10k by now. It's fuckin unstoppable, though I feel like I should probably buy a new guide rod for it and maybe treat it with an optic after all this time.

>>63939757 (OP)
That's about what a used one is worth. The only real problem it has is it's a subcompact, we rent a few of them out at the range I work at and people generally have nice things to say about them.
Still, for $400 I'd buy a Glock 43X instead

i like my hellcat. fits comfortably in my hoodie pocket and is nice to shoot.

>>63939757 (OP)
is it for carry? You might wanna consider how you'll carry it and how iit'll conceal

>>63944735
>only real problem it has is it's a subcompact
How is that a problem? Personally I'm fine with it's small size, thats the main reason why I want it as my everyday carry
>Still, for $400 I'd buy a Glock 43X instead
Yeah if you can find a $400 g43 in this godless economy let me know. Even GunBroker won't sell it for that cheap anymore.
>>63945812
I'm planning to have it as my daily carry without a holster on my front left side. Is that gonna be an issue with this gun?

>>63945856
>without a holster on my front left side
is that in your pocket with one of those trigger cover things? I think it should be fine. I haven't handled one in person myself and so idk what the sizing is like but I was mostly just wondering if it was gonna be appendix in which case you should be mindful of how long the grip is I would test if possible that gun or a similar sized handgun if you have to see how bad if at all it prints
>How is that a problem?
people tend to not be able to shoot pocket pistols , particularly in .380 or 9mm that accurately or very fast. The small size can make reloading and jam clearing harder.

>>63940388
Shut the fuck up, newfag. Lurk for a year before posting.

>>63944517
I admire your dedication.
>>63945856
>without a holster
Don't be a nigger, anon. At least get something like an Amend2 Techna Carry.

>>63945929
On my pants waist. The whole point is not to print on my shirts
> if it was gonna be appendix in which case you should be mindful of how long the grip is I would test if possible that gun or a similar sized handgun if you have to see how bad if at all it prints
I wish I could test because appendix carry sounds exactly how I wanna go about it. But the owner wouldn't let me.
>people tend to not be able to shoot pocket pistols , particularly in .380 or 9mm that accurately or very fast. The small size can make reloading and jam clearing harder.
Shit that's good to know. Now I'm starting to 2nd guess this pocket pistols....but damn I REALLY want a good pocket pistol. Getting tired of everyone freaking out at the sight of me opening carrying. As if I'm some nigger about to shoot up the joint. And I already tried cc'ing it but it's so damn uncomfortable
>>63945949
>Amend2 Techna Carry.
You know, maybe that's not a bad idea...
>I have to chose between this or a laser sight to attach on my gun
Damn nevermind. Guess I'll go ghetto

>>63939757 (OP)
>Guys is a used hellcat 9mm for $400 worth it or nah?
I wouldn't give you a red cent for one. Worst fucking micro 9 I've ever laid hands on. Do whatever the fuck you want though, I don't give a shit if you're gun is trash.

>>63943229
>It's a good gun for $400.
And a good gun for $400 is still a shit gun. Faggot.

>>63943901
>implying the aftermarket non plastic sights that everyone buys have the (((Glock))) seal of approval
magazines are far more important to reliability than sights

>>63946016
Post funs.

>>63946001
>No trigger protection and a laser

>>63946001
>>63946307
I am convinced this has devolved into a troll thread.

>Getting tired of everyone freaking out at the sight of me opening carrying. As if I'm some nigger about to shoot up the joint.

>>63946012
>>63946016
Then what sub compact 9mm do you recommend then?

>>63946247
This. Even a brand new fresh out the box gun will still jam with shit magazines

>>63946307
Okay you may have a point. I just wish there was a way to have both though.

>>63946336
Kek!

>>63946016
Post guns, faggot

Why doe we hate Hellcats again?
>inb4 because of Springfield's shitty anti 2A antics in the past
Okay fair enough, but anything beyond that? I shot a Hellcat at a range before and thought it was pretty alright personally.

>>63948232
Well let's see
>Outsourcing their manufacturing to ass crack nowhere Croatia
>Faulty triggers on some of their models
>Shitty manufacturer's warranty that will leave you high and dry
That's all I can think off the top of my head. But really I think it's the anti 2nd amendment bill they support in Illinois that REALLY pissed people off

>>63939757 (OP)
I hate this gun purely for the fact that it shares a name with a car that niggers love.

>>63944433
How’s the grip length? Too short? or manageable?

>>63939845
BASED

>>63949388
Lol that's a really stupid reason to hate a gun anon but you do you anon

>>63949650
It's a micro compact so it's not ideal but it it is plenty manageable. With the 11rd flush fit mag, my pinky hangs loose. I can get a full grip with the 13 rd mag

>>63949388
lmao

>>63939757 (OP)
if you buy any preowned springfield pistol for more than 350 you are retarded
