Every major gun news site today was announcing the release of Springfields' Hellcat 9 mm sub-compact pistol, featuring an 11+1 capacity. Comparing it to the Glock 26, the size is almost identical (the Hellcat shaves a quarter inch off its height, half an inch off the 26's length--mostly because of the different grip angle) but the Hellcat weighs in at about 3 oz. less. The Hellcat also squeezes one more round into its standard, flush fit magazine.
Compared with the Sig P365, it looks like the dimensions are similar--about 2/10th of an inch longer than the P365. I can't really tell with weight because it is not clear if the listed weight for the P365 is with an empty magazine or without.
MSRPs on the Hellcat are $569 (standard) and $599 (optic ready). I couldn't find a current MSRP for the Glock 26, but it looks like retail prices are in the same range. MSRP for the P365 is $599.
It appears that the major advantages the Hellcat brings to the table over the Glock 26 is that the Hellcat has a small accessory rail, the extra round of ammo, and you have the option of purchasing a Hellcat with milled slide to accept a micro-red dot sight. Similarly, the advantage over the P365 is also the extra round of ammo and the availability of getting an optic ready pistol.
