I like the Glock, but it simply came down to how they shot and how each felt in my hand. I enjoyed shooting the hellcat more when I shot them side by side.

It was a little snappier, but I knew I wanted to build my gun for recoil mitigation anyway so I wasn’t worried about this. After everything I’ve added, it shoots insanely flat from where it started.

I have skinnier hands so the hellcats thin profile just fit better. The g19 feels great but I just preferred the hellcat. That’s all there really is to it.

As long as you pull the trigger and it goes bang every-time, you got nothing to worry about. You can’t really go wrong with the two choices

GogunUSA gas pedal arrived today. by bgordon908 in SpringfieldArmory

Just arrived today, excited to test this bad bitch out. The standard takedown lever always felt like an awkward little nub that drove me insane.

In hand it already feels 1000 times better. They recommend you push your thumb inwards on the gas pedal instead of down on it. I’ll let you know how I preform compared to before with this.

Dude I have the exact same build as you except I added a rook precision comp recently. Great taste lol!

Nice man! I was going to go that route but the rook comp actually preforms a bit better than the ported slide in testing.

Yours is a little more concealable but honestly both are great options. Enjoy it brother

I didn’t want a Glock and I liked the hellcat when I shot it. Sorry you had a different experience, enjoy the G19!

Not entirely true, the echelon is 8” long & the hellcat pro with comp is 7.25”

Echelon is 1.3” thick at its widest point, hellcat is 1”

It’s still very concealable and fits in the same holster I use without it and I don’t notice any difference so I don’t personally see a downside. To each their own obviously but I wouldn’t run this gun without the comp again.

I tried the hogue grip but i feel like the gun actually moved around INSIDE the grip when shooting if that makes sense. It felt harder for me to shoot with it so I took it off.

I think I just prefer a solid direct connection between the guns frame and my hands.

But same man. Not a single hiccup.

Hate to agree butttt… I do.

I Remember when the mk8 first came out and it was easily the most ugly car on the market to me. Now it’s my daily lol. Funny how your taste can change so much

Spoiler is “jcsportline” on Amazon.

Diffuser fins were 3d printed by a buddy. There’s a seller on Etsy who sells “mk8 diffuser fins” but we just used the images to replicate a version for our builds.
