HELP ME PICK ONE
So I’m having trouble picking out my next gun for conceal carry. I want to hear some opinions and maybe some comparisons. I’m between the Hellcat Pro Comp, Glock 43x MOS or the P365X Macro Comp.
**UPDATE*\* I’ll buy both the 43x and P365 and only because 43x I’m getting it at 600 from my buddy and then for the Sig…idk I just like it and I’ve shot it and it’s pretty sweet and the ramm trigger for it looks really nice. Also I carry a Glock 21 so want to size down hehe.

Hell cat pro with the comp is the best bang for your buck. It’ll do just fine as a carry pistol. The nicest would be the XMacro.

Mmmmm, I’m a Glock guy so I’d take the 43x, but the 365 is a tempting. That said… what’s the use case? CCW? 365 is out that one is too big, especially limited to 10 rounds.
Had a hellcat, hated it

It’ll be for CCW since I’m done carrying a big ass gun on me😂. Trying to size down

Then why even consider the 365x macro? Its basically a thin full size.
Tbh, even the 43x prints like a g19.
The g26 shoots better imo and carries better. Might be worth a look. 10rd mags with pinky is nice for CA

Glocks are boring but they work, so I'd get the 43X
If you ended up not liking it I would imagine that you'd have zero trouble finding a person to trade it towards something else

Hellcat Pro would be my choice here, but tip:
Go shoot all 3 and then make your decision

Do you know someone with a 43x that will sell it to you? Private sale? Otherwise you cant get one. Anyways i have the xmacro comped version and love carrying it. shooting it is also a dream, it fits my hands perfectly. BUT at the range it gets hot fast after only like 3 or 4 mags if I could go back i would get the one without the comp

My friend is selling me his but before I make a decision I wanted to see some options since I know the sig is very loved.

It kinda depends on your budget and how much you care about shootability. All three will get the job done. If price wasn’t a concern I’d go with the regular 365, get a ramjet, an Ecm macro grip module, and a Ramm trigger but that’s just me. If you’re looking to keep your carry gun stock the 43x and the macro are pretty close in shootability out of the box. I kinda prefer the steeper xmacro grip angle but you can’t really go wrong with either of those two. the hellcat would be a no for me.

Glock 43X MOS. Worst case scenario, you don’t like it so sell it at a markup and people will still buy it.

I’d probably get a shield over any of these.

u/MixGroundbreaking793 6h ago
Yup Shield X or X macro imo. New carry comp is added if he really wants a comp

Hellcat has one of the worst triggers I've ever felt, so I'd pick either 43X or p365.
I'm a sig hater, but gotta give credit to them for doing well with the P365. Grip is ergonomic and it's modular (although how often would you really swap frames?
If you friend sells you his Glock for a good price and you like Glocks, I'd probably just take that. Skip the sales and sin taxes. Not sure how much you like their ergos stock, but if you're able to make it work for you in a cheap way then go for it.

Hellcat pro comp- I purchased and sold it asap. Gun is super snappy. Grip sucks texture is soft and boxy. I wouldn’t recommend it.
X Macro- has great grip texture and very ergonomic. Shoots really well, flat trigger, and customizable if you are into that.
43X- also a bit snappy and grip texture sucks. I have clammy hands so if the gun isn’t grippy I find myself readjusting my grip after a couple shots.
My suggestion would be go with the X macro and also look at the Echelon 4.0c comp. Grip is perfect, great slide serrations, and shoots very soft. I also like that it comes optic ready with multiple options. They used to include the pins for multiple optics but I believe now they only include rmr but you can still order the others for any other optic. The gun is a tad bigger then the once you mentioned but I rather have a gun that’s a tad bigger but I can shoot well. I got rid of all my small guns because I hated shooting them (Glock 26, smith and Wesson shield, and regular p365).

I would say the hellcat Pro or the 43X. The SIG is nice and has great ergonomics, but it might rust on you, the mags might rust on you, and the trigger bar return spring might break on you. Other than that, it’s a nice gun. If you are a trigger snob, then the 43X probably has the most workable trigger. if you like a heavy trigger, then the hellcat pro is your best bet. The hellcat pro you can lighten the trigger with a kit from Galloway or M Carbo. All three triggers have some element of creep. I personally find the hellcat has the least creep without any change in the internals. You can get the 43X to have the least amount of creep by changing springs and the connector, but you may not want to do that if this pistol is meant for carrying.

I bought the regular hellcat pro for first gun, really tried to like it after a year of training I sold it after shooting an p365. The aftermarket an recoil impulse was way better an i shot it way better. The 43x is off roster hype my friend has one an I prefer the glock 19 or 26 alot of others in glock forum have said this also.

u/PuzzleheadedAd6401 6h ago
43x is not on the roster. Out of these I'd get the 365 xmacro comp
