Features
The Hellcat is a striker-fired handgun with a stainless steel slide. Sub-compact in size, its overall length is 6.0 inches (150 mm) with a barrel length of 3.0 inches (76 mm) and a width of 1.0 inch (25 mm).[10][better source needed]
There is a blade safety on the trigger, and an optional low-profile external ambidextrous manual thumb safety.[10]
The 11-round flush-fit magazine holds one more round than the SIG Sauer P365. Extended 13-, 15-, and 17-round magazines also exist.[10]
The slide has cocking serrations fore and aft, the rear extending over the top of the gun to provide three points of positive grip for manipulating the slide.[11]
This gun also includes an accessory rail for mounting lights and lasers.
Versions
The OSP ("Optic Sight Pistol") version of the Hellcat has a removable plate on the slide, which allows a red dot sight to be installed.[12]
The Hellcat Pro OSP also has co-witnessing U-Dot sights, with a high visibility tritium & luminescent front sight and Tactical Rack rear sight.[13]
Upon introduction, the Hellcat was only available in the color black.
In June 2020, Springfield Armory introduced a version of the Hellcat in a flat dark earth (FDE) color.[14]
Accolades
The Hellcat was named 2020 Handgun of the Year by American Rifleman magazine.[15]
