The general response is going to be you need the light.
A weapon mounted light, or a handheld light, will usually front light a target enough that nite sights aren't really necessary. Plus a light gives you the advantage of positive target identification. (Does not mean nite sights aren't needed - they are IMO)
Lights are a plus, but if the light is on a weapon that you left at home because of comfort, it does you no good. You have to be honest with yourself about what you are willing to carry. If you've been carrying the Shield with a light/laser, why wouldn't you do the same with the Hellcat?
Not trying to be a dick, but knowing full well how this will sound - I'm a little concerned that you say the Hellcat is replacing the Shield as your EDC because you found out in a class you can't shoot the Shield.
Were you EDC'ing without knowing your capabilities with the Shield?
Have you actually shot the Hellcat?
What exactly was your problem with the Shield?
Could you give us a description of the class and the efforts made to square you away?
I'm asking all this so you can be sure you aren't looking for a hardware solution to a software problem. There are pistols that aren't a pleasure to shoot, and that cause significant numbers of folks problems, but in my experience the Shield isn't one of them.
AS far as holsters go, this guy might be worth a look:
