Why Not The Hellcat?
This video from SPN Firearms explores why the speaker, an experienced EDC practitioner, opts against the Springfield Hellcat and S&W Shield Plus for his work carry. While acknowledging their merits in size and capacity, his primary decision driver is cost-effectiveness, having acquired a Smith & Wesson M&P 40 Shield (chambered in .357 Sig) for a mere $300. He emphasizes the .357 Sig caliber's superior power for his specific work environment, highlighting a pragmatic approach to firearm selection based on performance, capability, and budget.
