A Hellcat pro seems like the perfect size and capacity for concealed carry to me, but I question what Springfield Armory had to do to qualify it for California sale? Does it have a frame mounted safety? Does it have a magazine disconnect? Is it limited to ten rounds when it is capable of fifteen? Those are questions that in my opinion may make or break a choice to purchase it. Do they advertise it as a “California compliant” firearm? Does anyone have the answers?
Like we sheep should be great full to have the choice of firearm. End the roster!
