I rented all three. I was very happy with the Sig P365. The sights on the P356 SAS are not for me. The standard P365 is just an amazing gun. The sights the trigger and the recoil make it a great package. The sig is a very comfortable and accurate gun to shoot for its size. The trigger I find to be far superior on the Sig to the Hellcat. The Hellcat's recoil felt like the sting from a .40 caliber Glock after a few rounds.
I have had 2 P365s and now a Hellcat. One of the Sigs I traded the other I gave to a very good friend. The Grip on the P365 felt like a broom handle. The Hellcat looks and feels like a mini-double stack and is easy to hold. I installed a Powder River trigger kit that reduced the pull weight from 6.5 lbs to 4. Both guns are very accurate for their size but I prefer the Hellcat.

The one my range had, wasn’t for rent, but I did get to mess with it. Trigger didn’t feel near as nice and my P365. It did feel a lot more tacky though.
The few people around my area have compared the recoil to that of the Shield 40. I wonder if a 147 grain bullet would tame it some?

I've had a standard 365 for a little over a year. Was my go to CC in the AZ heat. No issues with function. Trigger was ok but felt spongy to me. Accurate. I did get a hellcat and mounted the shield rmr on it. Trigger is a little more glock like. Also accurate. The dot is a big help for my older eyes. I normally shoot with glasses but find I can get grouped hits out to 20 yards with the dot, without my glasses.

Ditched the Hellcat, more brisk recoil, though I liked the size better, just a tad more grip for me, and really nice job with thw extended mag. In the end my P365 won out, also due to my manual safety. I plan on an XL when safety version shows up.
