Two more things for the Springfield: The ability to maintain irons when adding a red dot and the standard 1913 (non-proprietary) rail may give it the edge, in my opinion.

I wish more people would do comparisons like this. Simplicity and clarity always communicate more than opinion. Good job. This helped me a lot.

Being able to change out the grip module is what I like about the Sig. Thanks for the video.

As always, personal preference and feel. The entire pistol industry are following these two manufacturers. The more the merrier. Great review! Thanks.

Chris: VERY well done video!! A comprehensive comparison, and I especially liked the format of apples to apples. Went into a gun shop last week and looked at both guns, and you're spot on about the trigger of the 365XL... it is sweet! Since I don't need the extra 3 rounds, the 365XL is the one for me, YMMV. Thanks for a great video.

Keeping the rear sight with a red dot and the ability to use whatever light I want, along with the added texture on the hellcat frame. Those are the reasons that I traded in my 365xl for the hellcat pro.

Your comparison videos are always top tier quality 👌

ive been a Sig fanboy for a while. Since the rust issues with the 365, I took a hard look at the Hellcat pro. One helluva gun!

Thank you Chris; it seems like it’s been a while since you’ve done a comparison. Busy man. I’ve chosen the 365xl with Romeo optic, having first bought a regular 365 when they came out. I’m also a Sig guy, since I have a 220, 226, and 229 Legions. I carry the 365xl in summer and the 229 in winter. Otherwise I’m a 1911 user, Springfield TRPs and Nighthawks. I like quality and see no reason to skimp when it comes to guns. The 365 is the only striker fired gun I own; I much prefer a metal hammer fired gun. I don’t much like the split trigger, I prefer the thumb safety. Best Regards sir. I appreciate your efforts.

I looked at both of these for concealed carry and like you said, they are very similar. I'm having a hard time deciding but this video is quite literally the BEST I've found on these two pieces. I liked the "feel" of the Sig and the trigger, but I love the capacity, sights and the look of the Hellcat Pro. Jury's still out on which to get. Thanks for this awesome review!

I love the 4” performance center shield I have. Came with a 13 round and 10 round mag! Shoots great!!!!

I finally got a good deal on my Hellcat and traded it for the Hellcat Pro. I am so glad I did. I like the trigger much better and the extra length of the barrel will help with more accurate shots. I ordered a Swampfox Green Dot iptic for it and am buying some rounds to git the range with and zero it in. Thanks for your videos and help.

SIG for me! Nite sights, serialized fcu and not the frame, fits my hands perfectly

Nice succinct video. Thanks. I’ll be checking out more of your videos.

Glad I found this video been looking at a new carry gun and I'm going with he hellcat pro now. I've been Conceal carrying a full size hk for about 3 years now. I'm definitely ready for a bit of a smaller profile for overhaul comfort.

Thanks Chris. Good review 👍

When your pulling the trigger for self defense creep isn't an issue. They also make an Apex trigger for the Hellcat. I love both gun's. I went with the Hellcat. Apex makes some good upgrade parts as well. Nothing wrong with the 365x. Both good!

I just picked up a hellcat pro, was considered the P365XL as well, Springfield had a special with a range bag and 3 extra magazines

Great video, totally relevant as these two go head to head. I could sing the praises of the Pro but you know now. Cycles flawlessly (always use brass cased ammo). Wifey shoots it better than me too. HCP is a bargain.

Great video going over everything

Great video, alot to think about on my next purchase

Great comparison. I really like my P365

Love the P365xl!! My favorite edc.

Very nice detailed comparison...Thanks for sharing

I own both the HC Pro and HC compact. The Pro’s grip marginally thicker than compact (w/extended mag) - feels very comfortable w/beavertail and grip angle. Pro 3rd gen trigger less creep than compact - little spongy. Sig feels like it was made for me. Improved Sig Trigger has creep but solid break. Sig weighs same as HC Pro. I chose the Pro for the extra capacity. I added PRP trigger kit that transformed the trigger w/less pull effort, less creep, nice break. Recommend a trigger kit for most guns. Would have added kit to 36 XL. I own Sig piston rifles & suppressor - love them. Got Sig 365 (380) for mom’s small hands. She’s picky- loves it and so do I. 👍 Good review. Sub’d

Just bought a 4” PC Shield Plus!! That sig looks great also but I like the S&W better

2 best guns in the market right now today..in my opinion!!!! I leaning with the hellcat,

I like my 365xl which I converted from a 365. The little length just fits my grip perfectly n the trigger is second to none 🙏

I always laugh when I’m trying to decide between a few firearms…an I watch reviews of people comparing the firearms by the magazine capacity, then I start to cry, mostly because I live in a “you don’t need more then 10 rounds” state lmao

Glad I got the gear up deal with my hellcat pro osp. 5 mags, a bag, and all that. 551 bucks brand new.

Great video, I have been looking at these 2 guns the last few weeks and couldn't decide which one I wanted..but I have made up my mind now and it will be hellcat pro .

Great video, very informative.

Awesome review. I’m sticking with Sig

Great review, I've had the hellcat fde, And sold it. But I think ima go with the p365xl.

👍 Thank you for the review

One thing that goes unnoticed about the SIG. The part of the grip that prints is the back. The SIG being slanted back makes it print less, even though at their longest points they’re the same length.

i think unless you picking a first pistol the next and following you buy are compatible parts and mags with the others you own i bought a g2c at first when i started over later i wanted a full sized gun so bought a g3 because g3 mags fit in my g2c and bought them as i was going along

I think that the Springfield Hellcat Pro looks better than the Sig Sauer but I'd rather have the better, more crisp trigger that the Sig offers. 2 great Firearms 💪

If you have the OG hellcat and buy the pro slap that slide on the OG frame with the 13 rd mag. It’s gold

P365X: 17 round Macro mag ...7/8" longer than flush fit 12 round mag. With the MagGuts spring, you can have 14 rounds flush fit in the 12 round mag. I also run a MRDS and am able to co-witness with my iron sights. I feel these new options peg the decision needle to the P365X. They do make a 1913 rail adapter, but if you run the TLR -7sub, you don't need anything.

The P365XL wins for me because of the MAGGUTS +2 kit, which makes the 12 round mags into 14 round mags WITHOUT even adding 1/8 of an inch in length to the grip. The contour of the grip on the Hellcat extends out away from the body more than the XL does, and being a smaller guy that is a significant issue for me. I already had the XL when the Hellcat came out. The Hellcat got my attention, but within a couple minutes I realized there was no reason to change.

17 round X-Macro magazines are compatible with the P365 and stick out slightly less than the 15 round mags do, that’s worth mentioning

Great video!

Awesome job, thanks.

Very helpful video. As always its preference in some of those small details. Went to range shot one mag each. Went 365xl

Despite the difference in capacity, I would prefer the Sig.

Great review

Can you test out the more affordable Mossberg Mc2c with these two pistols

I own and have run both extensively. Both have Holosun 507 K2s. I run both with 15 rd mags exclusively. I ran the 365 in several USPSA matches and the EDC Championship. I did add a Wilson Combat module(recommended). It IS a magnificent gun for it's size and it unbelievably shootable and accurate(landed 2 rds of 5 on a mini USPSA steel at 75 yds at Sig). Stock trigger is long but excellent. On the other hand, the Hellcat(I own both sizes) is a very comfortable and has excellent natural pointing as far as almost automatically aligning the sights when you bring it up. It is also very accurate, reliable and shootable. Stock trigger? Suuuuuxx! It is waaay too heavy but crisp and it is, as far as I can see, the only drawback on the gun. It also seems to fit my glock 19 holsters. Go figure. I am going to install an MCARBO kit in it and we'll see. Just my 2 cents.

The hellcat pro now offers a 10 mag as well

You should do a comparison between the Hellcat Pro and P365X-Macro.

Video is so informative

very well explained video.

the ability to seat a mag without adjusting my grip is money for me... Hellcat pro!

Lots of great comments. I went with the pro. One thing not mentioned is I feel Springfield has the edge on the finish of the gun itself. Sig has gone down hill quite a bit in the past few years.

I've had both, but just liked the size and capacity of the Hellcat Pro a smidge better. So I just traded my P365 XL for a FDE Hellcat Pro. My black Hellcat Pro thinks I bought it as a tan buddy, but the black one's going in the car glove box and the FDE stays in the house😋

The Hellcat trigger pull after being shot for a while may be lighter than that of the used 365XL.

What is a good price for this firearm? Also, best online stores for purchase?

Had both, kept the Sig.

whats up with that hell cat trigger how far back the top is wied

Very good video

Just bought the sig and it is hard as you know what loading the magazine. I hope there is a good loader available

These guns are listed at the same height but the Hellcat is definitely taller. It’s a tall as a Glock 19.

I have a Sig 365 XL and love it..If you cannot be on target with 12 rds , 3 more extra rds is not going to matter. You better run away!! I just got a Wilson combat grip module for mine...

I hv converted my 12-rd XL mag to a 14-rd and hv had no problems with it, also my XL he as a manual thumb safety which means a lot to me, it's Sig all the way for me 🇺🇸

For a difference of 5 rounds to 8, I'd sacrifice a little on the trigger. For 12 to 15, I'd rather the better trigger. That's just me.

Thanks

Did you mention trigger safety differences? Looks like the Sig has zero safeties.

Aftermarket options for 14+1 on the 365. Frame size can be mod on 365. 3ray 3 does have tritium insert as well. Pro is slightly larger and more blocky. Does win in capacity, iron sight retention, rear sight contrast, 1913 rail, overall cost, and mag cost. But the 365 modularity beats the hellcat. They are both excellent. I have held both and my hands like the 365 platform better. The xl also offers manual safety, hellcat pro does not. You can’t lose with either model. I’m planning for the xl or the new macro.

Both companies known for high quality products, but both companies have had issues recently, SIG with the P365 and P320, Springfield has had customer relationship issues as well. SIG stumbled with the P365 release, but did resolve the issues, which is why a bought one after a year's worth of production and it's been flawless. I have handled the Hellcat, but not fired it, and it seems like a quality firearm also. I am not a Springfield fan, and happy with the P365, but if given a Hellcat I would keep it. Both companies need to step up their customer relations game quite a bit to compete with Ruger.

Thw "both jave accesory rails" statemwnt is missing context.One has an accessory rail that most of our accessories for all our other firearms can be used..one has a proprietary rail that you can only use proprietary accessories on.

My current carry is an XDS-9 with the extended grip magazine I get 9 rounds and its 3/4" longer than the 365xl and hellcat pro

I don't feel like their is enough difference between either pistol to say which ones better. I guess the 3 round extra could be a deal breaker for someone. Either way if you train with them you will be effective so I guess it comes down to style and price.

New p365 xl have the irons separate from the optic plate now

adding a red dot is better on the Hellcat & it feels better to hold, it's comfortable.

I do like the Springfield but I still choose SIG all day long as they make one to one quality airsoft and pellet gun that allow cheap practice and force on force with same light laser in same holster as "real" gun

P365xl slide on a X Macro grip and now you're at 17+1. Compensator just adds to the cost.

Love my p365

Didn't Justin Opinion just do this very comparison, albeit not a tabletop one??

The Hellcat feels much better in my hands. Also, the guide rod is intentionally extended and textured to help keep the pistol from going out of battery, if pressed against your target in a "he's right on top of me" situation. And, I know this is not typical, but I had the worst customer service experience EVER with Sig recently, and I'll NEVER buy a Sig again!

I hate when they don’t give a opinion. So I want be watching any of his videos.

Hellcat. I just got my Holosun installed. Like ergos on this guy better than the Sig (and I am in general, a Sig fan boy). Had real trouble with loading the Sig mags and had a few stovepipes on the Sig. Frustrating and disappointed in the Sig.

Now try to load the Hellcat magazine to all 15 rounds on camera. It's almost impossible without a good loader.

Just something to note, the Hellcat Pro is unavailable in states with a 10rd capacity limit.

I do think the the hellcat pros dimensions are a little bit deceptive, I have the I have found it to be just a baby’s breath shorter in height to a Glock 43x not the 4.8 advertised more like a 5 in or even 5.02, I’m curious to see if anyone else notices this, either way great gun I love mine

The Sig's grip definitely looks shorter than the Hellcat's

I must have got the lemon Hellcat. 9 lbs trigger pull & it's rough & gritty. HATE the trigger. Only got it for my wife ( weak hands) & she can't pull it at all. She likes the Taurus G2 C. It's got a GREAT trigger & EZ for her to control. Waiting for the Hellcat trigger upgrade kit. 2.5 & 3.5 adjustable. For me, the Hellcat shoots great except for the sucks the butt out of a skunk trigger.

Dollar bills have many uses

Hellcat pro all day everyday

The main difference is one fires autonomously and one does not 😂

Sig p365XL for me.

The reason the sig has 12 and hellcat is 15 is because the sig has the slant on the bottom of the mag to help with printing hellcat prints a little more

500 and change for a 12 to 15 semi auto?, Reminds me of something I read way back when: 5 round, .38 Special compact revolvers are perfectly ok for self defence because that's over with less than 5 shots fired. PS: I'm feeling old. 😕

One gun is made in Croatia and the other is made in the U.S of A! It was a factor for me that's why I went with the p365 its American made.

Hello, thanks for a very detailed review. I know there was so much information to share... However, I recommend that you speak just a little bit slower moving forward. Since you are trying to share information, slowing down for your audience would be appreciated. All the best you.

Glock 19, no printing. Big hands have hard time gripping little things. Used to carry a Shield....Hated it.

The hellcat is awesome. Trigger feels great. Having fired both (own both). I like the increased capacity, otherwise it’s the same argument I hear between Ford and Chevy owners. They are both trucks. But Chevy is better. Lol.

Can we all agree that we hate how the frame doesn’t match up with the slide on the sig? It bothers the crap out of me.

👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸☕️☕️💯

I'm spoiled by Canik I think. Sigs all feel spongy to me.
