The Hellcat, Springfield's Hi(er)- capacity compact.

[grunt soldier]

As a guy with all these micro compacts. I picked up a hellcat optic ready version today. I got a 43. 43x. P365. Ruger lcp. Yada yada. Yada lol.

I managed to get 100 rounds through it today and really like it. Very accurate. Like the sights more than the p365. Fits great in the hand. Mags drop free. Great front cocking serrations. its is slightly snappier than the 365. Universal light rail. All the stuff u guys know already.

All in all its a great little pistol so far. I really like it. I also saw cabelas i believe has 365s on sale for 399 bucks. So if nothing else it drove the price of those down lol.

Only complaint is that 11 and 13th round are very very stiff to get in lol. Takes some strength for sure

I handled one today at USDS, it’s a nice feeling little gun.

Yeah I canceled my order from Brownells and bought one from PSA should be here next week I hope. Also placed an order with Optic Planet on the new Romeo Zero optic. It is supposed to have the same foot print as the RMSc

 

[chef1231]

All right!!! Looks like PSA will have my new Hellcat OSP at my FFL tomorrow Now just need optic planet to ship that new Romeo I bought

Finally got it today. It’s a great feeling little gun. Waiting for the 10mm to come in and then I’ll get both out to the range next week.

Congrats on the new gun. Hope to hear positive stuff from the range trip.

The Hellcat jumped in my hand, I thought it was a nice gun but the p365 was nicer in the hand and handled the recoil better.

How does it compare in grip width to an M&P Shield?

Not sure on the Shield, but it's a tad wider than the XDS. Also not as tall or long as the XDS. Lighter too, even with 12 rounds of 9mm vs 8 in the XDS or 6 45.... nice lil shooter.

I carry a P365 daily and I am very intrigued in this gun. I love the way the 365 fits in my pocket. I can go anywhere with it. I would love to get one of these Hellcats and see how it compares.

Why RMS-C instead of vortex?

11+1 flush fit mag, 13+1 extended mag. 1" wide. Flat trigger.

Iron sight model available also.

The Vortex is too wide. This is a slim pistol. There are only a handful of RMR's that will fit it.

It's also to long. Won't fit into the slide cut. Only the Shield Rms-c and Jpoint micros will fit.

The wife and I shot this at PBR in Carmel a few weeks back. It was alright but I like my G43 better. Probably just more comfortable for me. The wife thought the muzzle flip was a bit much however she is used to her .380. And of course it’s a short 9mm.
If I was to find one used for a decent price I’d pick one up, S&G’s.

Got this through email from GunMagWarehouse: nothing new but good review comparing the Hellcat to the 365:

I look forward to trying the Hellcat out sometime, since l iike the OP, I've had nearly all the small carry pistols, except I never went down the Springfield road for anything, yet, I've had 3 Sig Sauers.
