11/29/2023 0 Comments Springfield 9mm hellcat reviewsSince its introduction in Guns & Ammo’s December 2019 issue, the concealed. I'll admit that I had not been open-minded to the Hellcat series at first, seeing it as an also-ran when stacked against the P365, but I can now vouch for it being a decent option for those looking for an EDC piece. Early in the race to build the mightiest micro compact, an emerging class of high-capacity super-compact pistols, Springfield Armory brought to market the Hellcat, a striker-fired 9mm offering 11-plus-1 and 13-plus-1 capacity. It delivered on the range in terms of being a dependable pistol there are holsters widely available for it that I like and the gun just feels great in the hand. After the 60 days were up and they wanted it back, I went ahead and bought it, as it won me over – a little "9mm that could," so to speak. In full disclosure, I had no overwhelming desire to review the Hellcat or Hellcat Pro, but Springfield sent this one to me for T&E on a 60-day loan. Good aftermarket support (e.g., holster, optics, sight options) It pairs nicely with a Spyderco Tenacious. I installed a steel-shrouded Romeo Zero Elite for 500 rounds and found it to hold zero and not work loose, even after racking the slide off the barricade about 20 times.Ī more rugged and basic IWB option that I went with is the DeSantis Slim-Tuk, an inexpensive Kydex wonder with a tuck-able 360 C-Clip, which allows for just about unlimited mounting options. The Holosun 407/507 guys will have to make a slight mod to make the slide good to go. There are also adapter plates out there for stuff like the Trijicon RMRcc. However, while the Leupold DPP uses the same footprint, it is too large for the milled section of the slide, so cue the whomp whomp on that. The four-lug/two-screw footprint is in the Shield RMSc pattern, which means it’s good to go with MRDs such as the JPoint, SIG Sauer Romeo Zero, and Swampfox Sentinel. We compared the Hellcat Pro against several of its competitors in the micro 9 neighborhood and found it slightly larger than some such as the Taurus GX4 (top right) and legacy standard P365, and closer in size to the Kimber R7 Mako (left) and P365 X-Macro (lower right).Īll of the Hellcat Pro models released in the past two years (the company markets them in several finishes besides black and FDE to include Platinum, Robin's Egg, and Burnt Bronze two-tones) are in what Springfield classifies as an OSP, or an Optical Sight Pistol, which means they come with a factory-milled slide for micro red dots.
