    I picked up two Springfield Armory Hellcat Micro-Compact 9mm pistols. 
    One is a distributor exclusive with a stainless steel slide.  The other
    is in a FDE color.  I always wanted a Hellcat and bought the FDE only
    because I don't own a single firearm that isn't black or stainless. 
    I'll shoot one, for sure.  It might even become my carry gun.

    Very nice small carry pistol. I'm going to pick up a Ruger Max 9 Pro today. It'll be my first carry-able pistol, but I don't know that I actually will.

    I'm not familiar with the Pro but you might be able to pocket-carry that
    one.

    I believe the only difference is the Pro doesn't have a manual safety. It's definitely small.
    I need to use the extended base plate on the magazines to have a place for my pinky.

    They are both at my LGS, and I will try to pick them up tomorrow, but I
    think I will be using the extended magazines, too.
