Too aggressive a surface tends to rub the body when you are concealed carrying and can be painful after a long day of carrying close to the body. The Springfield Hellcat uses the new Adaptive Grip Texture that presents an interesting texture for both shooting and concealed carry. The 13 rounder presents an excellent grip as well that’s completely comfortable. Springfield does include a pinky extension that allows for a much better grip, especially for guys like me with big hands. You can only get two fingers on the gun with the flush-fitting magazine. The trigger is smooth and crisp, with a short pull and clean break.Īdmittedly the gun feels super short with the flush fit magazine in place. Past that, we have a flat-faced trigger with nickel boron internals. It prevents the slide from coming out of battery and will enable you to keep the gun-running. This will allow you to jam the gun into someone’s belly and pull the trigger. Below the barrel, where the recoil assembly sits, is a small circular device. The Springfield Hellcat also has a standoff device built into the front of the gun. The Olight Mini 2 Valkyrie will fit as well. The Viridian CTL, for example, is an ultra-small light that will fit. It’s a short rail, so you are stuck with very compact lights. The Hellcat also has a Picatinny rail that allows you to attach a wide variety of small lights and lasers. The gun comes from the factory with Trijicon U Dot sights that are day and night sights that are both extremely bright and easy to see in both sunny days and in low light. The Hellcat is feature-packed for such a small gun. The Hellcat is a small gun that’s very light and easy to conceal. The gun weighs a hair less than 18 ounces and is 1 inch wide. The gun is 4 inches tall with the flush fit magazine and 4.5 inches with the extended magazine. The Hellcat has a 3-inch barrel and an overall length of 6 inches. The Hellcat comes in two models, the standard and the OSP, optics ready model. The Hellcat has 11 or 13 round magazines, and the gun comes with an optional pinky extension. Like most modern guns, it has a polymer frame that reduces weight and makes the weapon more affordable. The Springfield Hellcat is a micro-compact 9mm, striker-fired handgun.
