I'm honestly a little surprised by the lack of love for the Hellcat or Hellcat PRO. I've owned (or used) everything in the poll, and the HC is the easy winner for me.
Everyone is different, but my necessity list for a "micro" handgun is pretty simple:
REQUIREMENT A = 100% reliable
REQUIREMENT B = Max mag capacity for firearm size
"Shootablility" or "enjoyment" don't even register as every gun listed is "shootable". If I'm shooting for pleasure then I never grab a micro when heading to the range. Micros for me are simply tools.
I prefer to shoot something at least as large a Glock 19 with a Glock 17 size 9mm being my favorite. My USP9 Expert being a joy to shoot. WAY to big for summer carry and laughable considering the 15rd standard capacity vs format size. However, as a range gun it just makes you smile.
I've been carrying "micro 9mms" since Kahr released the CM9. I've tried so many different options over the years and they've all excelled in one area (small and easy to carry) and failed in others (capacity, recoil mitigation, "enjoyment at the range", whatavs).
A few colleagues have recently bought their wives P365XL Rose factory comp'd guns and have said this is the first handgun they've put in their wife's hand that the lady would actually shoot and carry. That speaks volumes about the comp'd 365s. I've been tempted to add one, but the standard 12 round capacity is gag worthy when a Hellcat PRO is SLIGHTLY smaller but offers 15.
FWIW my first "compact" carry gun was a nickle plated Colt Gov't Model 380 I bought in 1989. Compared to then ... we're living in amazing gun times and are very fortunate to have so many viable options.
