I think I’m in the market for a smaller 9mm carry piece. I have looked at these two, and others, read various reviews, etc.

But, there is enough experience here to help me make a better decision, so...

WWYR...What Would You Recommend?

I used to carry a Kahr PM9 and loved it, but have recently upgraded to the Sig P365. I did get the opportunity to play with a Hellcat and I liked it, but not as much as the 365 largely due to the trigger. Me and my wife both carry 365's now.

That's hard question. I've carried and been wrapped up in the P365 world since day one. Owned every model so far. Few downs, but lots of ups. I think the bugs are gone.

I've owned the Hellcat OSP now for a couple weeks and I love it. Not seeing any downsides with it yet. Mags are cheaper. Standoff device, optics ready and a rail.

With the aftermarket stuff for each, every con can be made pro now. Optic milling, extended mags, trigger upgrades, bolt on rails etc.

If I had to start completely fresh with no mags or leather, I'd go with the Hellcat. Out of the box and stock, it has more options, more capacity. Fits my needs stock.

I’ve shot the hellcat, 365, & the g43.

I own the 365 & g43.
The 365 is with me every day.

A buddy who owns the hellcat and carried it regularly shot my 365.
He now owns & carries a 365xl and the hellcat is sitting in the safe.

I own the Sig but haven't even held the Springfield yet because @druryj was in home confinement last time I was there. I really like my P365 but don't think you could go wrong with either one. I read on here where the Springfield has/had a trigger issue but don't know much about the problem. You might want to read up on it to see if Springfield has addressed that issue.

How do you like the new G48 compared to the 365?
