Springfield Armory just debuted their all new Hellcat pistol that they’ve claimed is the highest capacity micro-compact 9mm in the world. It has a 3″ barrel and measures in at just 1″ wide and 18.3oz in weight (empty). With a flush fit magazine it fits 11 rounds and 13 rounds with an extended magazine.
There’s also an optics ready model that they call the OSP (Optical Sight Pistol) that has a milled slide that can use some of the popular red dots on the market. Springfield recommends the JP Enterprises Jpoint or the Shield RMSc. The Hellcat includes two magazines, an 11 round and 13 round extended mag. Starting MSRP for the Hellcat is $599.
The Hellcat is the highest capacity micro-compact 9mm in the world. The 3″-barreled pistol measures a mere 1″ wide and weighs just 18.3 oz. empty yet features a class-leading capacity of 11 rounds with flush-fitting magazine. Its extended magazine bumps up the round count to 13.
With the increasing popularity of optics ready carry guns, the Hellcat is also offered in an OSP™ (Optical Sight Pistol) configuration with a milled slide to accept the smallest, most popular micro red dots on the market. Recommended micro red dots: JP Enterprises JPoint™ and Shield RMSc. Optics mount directly to the slide for the smallest possible footprint.
Right out of the box the Hellcat comes with 2 magazines, a patented 11-round mag with pinky extension and a 13-round extended mag. A flush plate is also included to give the pistol as small of a footprint as possible.
ADAPTIVE GRIP TEXTURE
The custom pressure activated grip texture on the Hellcat frame features a pattern of staggered pyramid shapes. The taller pyramids have a flattened top to ensure comfort in the waistband and minimal wear on clothing. The shorter pyramids come to a point and lock in to your hand for a secure hold when the pistol is firmly gripped.Caliber 9mm
