Anyone have any insight on this? I know Springfield Armory has followed suit. I would love to see a similar offering from CZ or HK, particularly in DA/SA, but here I am day dreaming again.

Nearly every manufacturer offers single or double column carry versions of their pistols with similar characteristics. What on earth are you talking about? Sig itself already had other versions.Anyone have any insight on this? I know Springfield Armory has followed suit.

I have yet to see a Hellcat yet...maybe when I am in Des Moines next week. They have yet to hit the stores in Sioux Falls that I have seen.IMO it would be most likely that Walther and S&W would come out with updated PPS and Shield line with higher capacity but time will tell. R&D and testing take time.
For now I am sticking with my original 9MM PPS and CCW IWB with the 7 round magazine. I tried both the P365 and Hellcat but I can shoot my PPS so much better than either that I am not willing to make the switch just to get more capacity. If I want more capacity I also CCW my Gen 2 Glock 19 a lot however for me my PPS is bit better at all day comfort.
I expect some will be revealed at SHOT.
FYI there are already reviews for round counts in the multiple thousands.This ^^^^
I still use my G43 as my “shorts and t-shirt” gun, once the 365 gets some time in the wild and longer time use reviews start coming out (round counts in the mtpl thousands) are avail, i may “upgrade”.
Until then, 6 and a reload is going to have to do in hot weather. With winter coming to Colorado, i can darn near conceal a Barrett. Lol
They're not going to drop existing single stack models simply because the single stacks are significantly slimmer than even the 1.5x stacks like the p365. Personally, I'm not sold on the 1.5x stacks because I don't see how being 4mm's slimmer makes them better than a standard subcompact doublestack that holds 12+1, nor do I see how them being thicker than a single stack that holds 7+1 or 8+1 is better.Last I checked the P365 was still around $500. Don't know if it was a little higher when it first came out. The only concession I'd seen made was to change which magazine you get, but the price was still the same.
I have no doubt that a ton of companies are trying to cram more ammo into their small pistols now that they know it's possible. But they're not about to drop their existing models. Continuing their existing models will still make money because the lower price point can appeal to a different crowd: budget minded, brand loyal, slow adopters, people that just like what they have, people who have stopped caring about newfangled things.
