I looked at them side by side. I liked the feel and the sights of the Hellcat better than the Sig. Both good guns. I run 115 grain jhp not +P. Keeps the recoil more manageable. I recently shot 10 rounds of Norma NXD which is a 65 grain non expanding fluted bullet @ 1730 fps. Says low recoil on the box and it is. Very accurate and very controllable. I took my time on the 1st 3 rounds and they were in a cluster in the 10 ring. Next 7 rapid fire 9’s & 10’s. About a 5" group. No hiccups. I have not seen a track record on these rounds so I am not carrying them. I have 2 Hellcats. One with a red dot and one without. I shot the NXDs with the red dot. I am also looking at the Norm 108 grain monolithic hollow point. All copper. I have not tried them yet.

Thanks for the response. Although the gun was cleaned and lubed before the first HST test another clean and lube and the problem is gone! Must have been gremlins!

It’s a relief to get a non functional weapon functional again!
