Any opinions ?

Not aware of a S&W Hell Fire.
Do you mean the Hellcat? That's made by Springfield Armory.
Faxon makes an F-19 Hellcat; another 9mm Glock pattern/imitation.

do you mean Hell Cat ? if so excellent little gun, mine has the optional red dot , almost makes it impossible to not be accurate . with practice the dot makes it faster on target, practice makes perfect, almost!!
lots of deals around now with extra free mags at very good price points

Springfield lists it as Hellcat (one word).
An excellent pistol. Actually (and to my surprise), I prefer it over the P365.
I have several, with and without manual safety and optic.
I wish the manual safety levers were slightly wider, but that's my big hands.
A significant flaw in the design is that magazines can be inserted backwards. A very bad possibility in the real world.
Can also say that I have witnessed a number of people manage to not be accurate, even with the optic version.

Have one. It has never failed to feed, fire, eject. I use mine as a pocket pistol.

The Hellcat by Springfield Armory is a very capable pistol. Other than the fact that it is ever so slightly larger than the Sig P365, it is quite comparable. I do prefer the P365 night sights over the Hellcat's but for a point and shoot SD pistol it really doesn't matter too much. I also prefer the P365's original rounded trigger and the optional manual safety it can be ordered with but I think the Hellcat can also be ordered with a manual safety as well. Both are great pistols and I believe the Hellcat holds 11 in a flush magazine where the P365 standard flush magazine holds 10 - hence the slight size difference - the Hellcat's slide is also a drop longer. Either way, Sig or SA, both of the Micro 9's are excellent. Can't go wrong with either one!

Have one with the Viridian green dot sight. Has eaten everything I have fed it including cast swc reloads. Co witness easy to sight in easy to hit with but it is a hand full to shoot. It has become my EDC.
