It also comes with a 13-round extended magazine, an extra flush fitting base plate for ultimate concealment, and a soft padded pistol case. For those living in magazine capacity restricted states, a 10-round magazine is coming soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The slide is milled from billet steel and is paired with a 3-inch hammer forged barrel. Both are Melonite coated for wear and corrosion resistance. The top of the slide includes a witness hole for visibly checking if there is a round in the chamber. Updated slide serrations are located on the front and surround the entire rear part of the slide giving it a unique look. The OSP version comes with a cover plate with the same serrations for a seamless look. The Shield RMSc and JP Enterprises JPoint red dot fit best on the OSP version and mount directly to the slide without need for baseplate adapters. Springfield\u2019s steel U-Dot\u2122 sight system features a front tritium sight with a luminescent surrounding, and a U-shaped rear sight notch with tactical ledge for one handed manipulation. It also features a dual recoil spring on a full-length guide rod for improved recoil control and added reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A reinforced polymer frame with Springfield\u2019s new Adaptive Grip Texture\u2122 on the grip and on the front for your support finger. The unique texture pattern guarantees you will have no problem gripping and controlling the Hellcat in all conditions. It\u2019s not overly aggressive and has a similar feel to a custom stippled frame. The frame has an undercut trigger guard with a high-hand beavertail making it sit lower in your hand for increased control. A standard front picatinny rail allows for accessory use. The Hellcat has a flat faced trigger design with integrated blade safety and a nickel boron coated trigger group for a smooth consistent pull. The magazine release can be switched to either side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MSRP on the Springfield Hellcat is $569 and $599 for the OSP version. You can find one from your local dealer on GunsAmerica for slightly less. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:30px\"><strong>****<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search.aspx?Keyword=hellcat\" campaign=\"SA_Hellcat_Unboxed_BuyGA\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\"> <strong> Shop on GunsAmerica for a Springfield Hellcat<\/strong><\/a><strong>****<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more at Springfield:  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springfield-armory.com\/hellcat-features\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-hellcat-unboxed\" title=\"Springfield Armory Hellcat Unboxed at the Gun Counter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">https:\/\/www.springfield-armory.com\/hellcat-features\/<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Springfield Armory Hellcat is the highest capacity micro compact 9mm available on the market with an 11 + 1 capacity.
