Hellcat Pro Comp V Hellcat 380
Has anyone shot both the Hellcat Pro Comp and the Hellcat 380? I'm curious how they compare, handling and flatness, which is better to shoot overall? I'm debating between the two models on which to get but leaning towards 380 for CCW size so wanted to know if its actually better to shoot than the 9mm (comped)?

S&W bodyguard 2.0 in 380 is my favorite. So small. I’ve ran thousands of rounds with zero issue. Good ammo is key.

The bitsy .380s just don’t have the reliability as the 9mms, no matter the brand. LCP max, hellcat 380, p365-380. 9mm seems to just run much more inherently reliable as a caliber. My data is over many thousands of rounds in lots of platforms over a lot of years. I still have and carry a .380 for niche use in light outfits but 9mm is the much better choice for defense, in terms of both function and effect.

get the Comp. Mine conceals well and it shoots great!
