I think I have found the Hellcat Pro Comp's EDC replacement, and I wasnt even looking to replace it. I've only had it since November of last year and have nearly 4k through it. I am efficient with it and enjoy it a lot. But, day 2 with the Ruger RXM (nearly 700 rounds between yesterday and today) and I am sold. I dont know what it is, but I just connect with it. I left from shooting yesterday and stopped by the gun shop to order the 4.5 before heading home 🤷‍♂️. I cant put my finger on what it is...but I like the idea of how cheap and modular it is and without ANY modifications I am on par, if not slightly quicker/more accurate with it than the HCPc through which I have a lot of experience with (that has a 3.5lb MCARBO on it that is extremely nice, the RXM is bone stock).

A buddy I was with today will likely buy the HCPc as he enjoys it so I won't see a massive trade in loss and he will get a good discount as well for all the goodies + holsters.

Ruger RXM compact (4") with Osight SE, OEM Glock mag, and an Eclipse.

Everything but the Osight are new brands to me. The optic mounts perfect but since I plan to EDC this, I went with the smaller Osight which led to a pretty gnarly gap between rear post and base of the optic. DPP plate inbound just to fill out the esthetic.

First impressions:

Grip texture is perfect. Might not even grab any Talons or Handleit grips like I usually do.

Optic mounting system is a plus with removable posts for almost whatever footprint you want to mount, just be wary of the optic size vs footprint or you'll end up with a gap like mine without a plate.

Trigger is surprisingly good. Already a few dozen dry fire reps through it. Positive reset with an audible click.

Eclipse appears well made, solid thickness, form fitted, retention is great. Conceals well (5' 10" 175lbs athletic build).

Will have it all out this weekend to run a few hundred rounds through it. Ultimate goal is to test run the platform then pickup the full size if I like it enough as the price tag is attractive for a f*ck around gun platform.

Range/competition pistol. After adding extreme sandpaper grips (absolutely awesome), I've been finding it a tad difficult to reach the OEM mag release due to the grip simply being that good that manipulating the firearm isnt as easy before I added them.

Appears the Rook and Apex are out of stock. Tyrant seems to not be much of a change in "extension" from factory. Down to Powder River as the only available.

Anyone have experience with the Powder River extended mag release? It appears to be a tad larger on the forward face of it and more flush towards the rear (compared to OEM).

Working on from the holster singles (1x) and doubles (2x) for draw to first shot times/.2 splits from the 10 yard line then 5 shot volleys (5x) from low ready working on support hand grip consistency today from roughly 16 yards averaging sub .25 split minimum every round. The two untaped Charlie's were from the very last 15 yard 5x drill for a mags worth (20, so 18/20 alphas). All in all, roughly 300 rounds here.

Groin (and head obviously) were from other body armor drills I had run earlier.
