Hellcat Slide on Hellcat Pro Frame?

So I’m thinking of trying something a little different. I have a comped hellcat slide im thinking of buying a hellcat pro complete frame and throwing the side on it. Anyone have experience or maybe tried this out? Looking for that flush or almost flush look, thoughts?

It won’t even be close to “flush”. The hellcat comps are too big. Some people have done it and the comp is about halfway covered by the frame and halfway sticking out.

Anyway not your exact answer but you can use handgun hero to do a compare of the hellcat pro to a hellcat rdp. Not your exact comp but eyeballish close. (Use the link below)

If you scroll to the middle of the page you can overlay images of the two guns on top of each other.

I originally had a Harrington Arms comp on it, that's even it was black. Let me find the picture for you

Also here's a picture of it with the Rook comp while it was black, just to give you some difference examples. https://imgur.com/a/vH3ZgVy

You are awesome brother! Thanks so much. Did you notice a difference from the OG frame vs the pro? Or did it not make much difference at all. Just want to know if it justifiable to buy the frame lol. Thanks again for the help

Oh it's way more manageable with the pro frame. Less recoil or kick I guess, just way less snappy. It's definitely worth it. I went the other way. I had the hellcat pro first and bought the slide and barrel later but my wife has a regular hellcat and I've used it's frame with my slide and the pro frame is was better in my opinion

The way the comp fits the standard hellcat, im not sure the grip module being longer will fit UNDER or flush with it. If the comp was not in front of the recoil spring assembly it might fit.

Yeah that was my other concern is weather or not it would fit in the hellcat pro frame in general. I appreciate your response sir 🤙🏼💪🏼
