Night Fision Perfect Dot Tritium Night Sights. Have them on my XDm Elite and love them. They also make them for XDs Mod2 and Hellcat. Just check with them first if you have an OSP model.

Have you tried Fedder Holsters? I got the Lighttuck IWB for my Hellcat Pro (no optic or light though). They are right here in central Florida (Mt. Dora). You could give them a call and see if they do anything custom.

I've used the Kore Essentials X5 tactical belt, but found the buckle too big and cumbersome. Finally found the Vedder V3 gun belt - super sleek and EZ on/off. Great for casual or dress EDC. Vedder V3 Gun Belt

Werkz may have one (M6) that fits the XDm Elite. Their website is a little vague for exact models, but they seem to have some for TLR 1-HL. You'll probably need to check with them directly.

I also use the Vedder Lighttuck IWB for my XDs and Hellcat Pro. I have found that the Tulster OATH works for me as well for both pistols, especially with pull the dot belt loops. Very comfortable. I think you would do well with either one.

I currently carry an XDs 9mm, really like it, and a Hellcat (11,13 and 15 rd mags).. Was thinking of going to a Hellcat Pro for better grip feel and extended sight radius. Is it worth it, or should I just work with what I have?

It would not be for a trade in or sale. I would probably give the original Hellcat to my nephew. I was just wondering if there was any appreciable benefit of the Pro over the standard Hellcat for CC as far as shootability, recoil and accuracy are concerned.

I have the original Hellcat OSP (don't have red dot) and was considering upgrading to the Hellcat Pro. I really like the Hellcat and have the 11, 13 and 15 round mags. I do find it a bit snappy and was wondering if the Pro would be easier and more enjoyable to shoot. This pistol would be...

I use a Tulster OATH with a wing for my hellcat 3" but they also have one for the Pro. It carries great, especially with the pull the dot loop. If you live in a hot climate (I am in Florida) you may want to get the high sweat guard instead of the mid. This holster is probably a little higher...

I also have the Saint Victor. Since I do a fair amount of shooting at an indoor range, I replaced the muzzle brake with a standard A2 flash hider. Works great for me and would probably be much better for home defense.

I think Hans had just the right idea -- a DA/SA version of the RDP would work. (I personally could live without the comp.) There must be room for a hammer-fired polymer pistol with hellcat-like size and capacity somewhere in SA'a lineup.

Looks like both HKs are still available. Definitely worth a look. BTW, Are you familiar with the difference between their LEM trigger vs the conventional DA/SA version? Pros/cons?

Excellent suggestion, Hans! I also considered one, but it seemed just a tad too big for CC given the capacity. If and until Springfield would reintroduce it, what would you suggest for a hammer-fired compact CC preferably in 9mm?

Thank you all for your input, it's greatly appreciated. As Bio-Hazard notes regarding recoil, I seem to have problems with sharp recoil combined with a very short grip. Will need to try the extended magazines.

Hello all, Fairly new to the forum, but would really like your advice on a new EDC pistol. My current EDC is XDs 9mm, and so far, it's working out very well, as I like the 3.3 barrel length and grip feel as I carry with the 8 round mag and like the fuller grip feel. I'm looking for a pistol...
