Hellcat vs 365 vs Reflex

[Belt Fed]

Now first off i am no reviewer and what i say means nothing to most but hopefully the ones interested in these guns can see a difference in how they are equipped and made. These comments are mine and everyone's taste is different. but this is what i have observed by firing these guns. i also have no video's. definitely not smart enough to do all the editing and stuff that needs done.

We have a Springfield Armory Hellcat, Sig Sauer NRA 365 and an FN Reflex, all three of these guns exhibited excellent accuracy. all are about the same size and width. all of them feel well fitted in the hand. the reflex is a little more hand filling but not much.

In the photos they are from left to right, hellcat, 365 and reflex. we will start with the sights. all have good sights and only the 365 is full night sights. now it is the NRA model so i don't know if that's part of that package or not. the front sights on the other two are night sights. Hellcat has the U notch on rear and easy to point, too me the sig sights are harder to see during the day. the reflex are bold and easy to see for old eyes. Hellcat has a yellow front sight, the sig a green sight and reflex a red sight.

The hellcat is the only one that has an optic plate but the others have models that have them too. i just didn't need the plate model. since i have no intentions of putting a dot on them.

Inside the Grip module things are somewhat different, but nothing drastic that i see, or the same for the slide. the hellcat has the SS mag while the other two are black Now for the important part, least it is for me, The Trigger. first off my hellcat does not have a bad trigger but it is the worst of the bunch, the sig has a good trigger but the reflex has a phenomenal trigger. i mean it's like a custom trigger. i don't have a trigger gauge or i would test all them but the reflex would be the lightest pull with no slack or creep.

Again for me i am no expert on anything, just an observation on these three and some pics where people can see the difference. You can't go wrong with either of them but i'll take the Reflex over the other two. Probably the 365 next, the trigger on the hellcat kills it for me and like i said it's not bad, just nowhere near good as the other two.

Great review! Thanks for posting, but I noticed you missed a gun…..I didn’t see your fabled “Yeet Cannon”

Well, you can call yourself an enabler now. After reading your other post from the other day I went to LGS and ordered a Reflex this morning. Will be in sometime next week. Mine will be black but also did not get one with the red dot cutout. I too will never use that. Hopefully I will like mine as much as you like yours.

Excellent comparison Belt Fed. I own the P365; Hellcat, and a FN 509 MRD (optic ready) Compact. I wondered when the FN Reflex came out, on what is the difference between it and the 509 Compact. Capacities are about the same, but I did find some comparisons specified below for those interested like myself:

The 509 Compact is a compact pistol with a Striker-Fired trigger. It is manufactured by FN. This pistol is chambered in 9mm Luger.
The overall size of the FN 509 Compact is 6.8" long, 4.6" tall, and 1.35" wide (173 mm x 117 mm x 34 mm for the metric folks).
It has a 3.7-inch barrel and weighs 25.5 ounces with empty magazine. That's 94 mm and 723 grams. Capacities are 10, 12, 15 (+1)

The Reflex is a subcompact pistol with a SAO trigger. It is manufactured by FN. This pistol is chambered in 9mm Luger.
The overall size of the FN Reflex is 6.2" long, 4.27" tall, and 1" wide (157 mm x 108 mm x 25 mm for the metric folks).
It has a 3.3-inch barrel and weighs 18.4 ounces with empty magazine. That's 84 mm and 522 grams. Capacities are 10, 11, 15 (+1)

So the SAO trigger, is what I assume, makes the trigger better than the P365, Hellcat and 509 Compact (which are stricker fired triggers). I might have to look into the Reflex in the future

Thanks for posting . I own hellcat and sig. want fn but money is tight now.
I like both and have similar opinion. My sig has better trigger, my hellcats trigger is just really mushy.
I don’t like the u notch at all. Just for me it’s a distraction from the front sight. I used black sharpie the straight portions of u away and just have bottom spot to line up. Gonna definitely have to add a FN to the stable.
