This strategic design empowers users to deploy the pistol across a diverse range of applications. Boasting a 17-round capacity, an accessory rail for weapon light attachments, a threaded barrel, and an optic-ready slide, the new Hellcat is a versatile system that seamlessly combines functionality and adaptability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-specs-nbsp\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-threaded-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" data-level=\"2\">Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Specs:&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-out-of-the-box\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-threaded-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" data-level=\"2\">Out of the Box<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-barrel\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-threaded-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" data-level=\"2\">Barrel<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-slide\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-threaded-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" data-level=\"2\">Slide<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-sights-on-the-hellcat-pro-osp\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-threaded-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" data-level=\"2\">Sights On The Hellcat Pro OSP<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-frame\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-threaded-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" data-level=\"2\">Frame<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-controls\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-threaded-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" data-level=\"2\">Controls<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-trigger\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-threaded-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" data-level=\"2\">Trigger<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-hellcat-pro-osp-precision\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-threaded-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" data-level=\"2\">Hellcat Pro OSP Precision<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-performance\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-threaded-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" data-level=\"2\">Performance<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-shootability-of-the-hellcat-pro-osp\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-threaded-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" data-level=\"2\">Shootability of the Hellcat Pro OSP<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-summary-of-the-hellcat-pro-osp\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-threaded-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" data-level=\"2\">Summary of the Hellcat Pro OSP<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-specs-nbsp\">Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Specs:&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>CALIBER: 9mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>COLOR: Desert FDE<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BARREL: 4.4&#8243; Hammer Forged Steel, Threaded (.5 x 28), Melonite\u00ae Finish, 1:10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SLIDE: Billet Machined, Desert FDE Cerakote\u00ae Finish, Optics Ready<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>FRAME: Desert FDE Polymer w\/ Adaptive Grip Texture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SIGHTS: Tritium\/Luminescent Front, Tactical Rack U-Notch Rear<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RECOIL SYSTEM: Dual Captive Recoil Spring w\/ Full Length Guide Rod<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GRIP WIDTH: 1&#8243;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MAGAZINES: (1) 15-Round, (1) 17-Round<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WEIGHT: 22 oz w\/ Flush Mag, 22.4 oz w\/ Extended Mag<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LENGTH: 7.2&#8243;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HEIGHT: 4.8&#8243; w\/ Flush Mag, 5.3&#8243; w\/ Extended Mag<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MSRP: $710<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-out-of-the-box\">Out of the Box<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Springfield Armory has a wide lineup of Hellcat pistols, but this FDE Hellcat Pro OSP comes with two magazines, a flush-fitting 15-round mag for concealability and an extended 17-rounder.

Springfield utilizes a hammer-forged steel 4.4&#8243; barrel with a 1:10 twist, Melonite finish, and 1\/2&#215;28 threads. The barrel sticks out approximately 7\/8&#8243; past the end of the slide providing enough clearance to reliably work with a suppressor. I have personally conceal-carried a pistol with a threaded barrel for around 6 years and the added barrel length does not make it any more burdensome. The barrel comes with a thread protector, and the threads are concentric which works great for shooting with a suppressor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0027-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"4.4&quot; threaded barrel and the included thread protector\" class=\"wp-image-195100\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0027-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0027-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0027-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0027-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0027.jpg 1439w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">4.4&#8243; threaded barrel and the included thread protector<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0044-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The threaded barrel is a great host for mounting suppressors\" class=\"wp-image-195119\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0044-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0044-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0044-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0044-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0044.jpg 1521w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The threaded barrel is a great host for mounting suppressors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slide\">Slide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest perk of the Hellcat Pro OSP slide is the fact that it is optics-ready.

Though I generally prefer a bit more grip, the current texture proves more than sufficient, especially when a red dot is mounted, as I typically rely on it for slide manipulations. Crafted from billet and adorned with a Desert FDE Cerakote finish, the slide not only looks sleek but also offers robust corrosion protection, enhancing the overall durability of the Hellcat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/springfield-armory-hellcats-fde-standard-optics-ready\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-threaded-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Springfield Armory&#8217;s Got Hellcats in FDE, Standard and Optics-Ready<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0031-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Serrations on the front and rear of the slide\" class=\"wp-image-195101\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0031-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0031-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0031-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0031-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0031.jpg 1436w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Serrations on the front and rear of the slide<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sights-on-the-hellcat-pro-osp\">Sights On The Hellcat Pro OSP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Springfield includes a high-visibility tritium and luminescent front sight and a U-notch &#8220;tactical rack&#8221; rear sight.

Situated at the bottom of the window, they remain unobtrusive yet accessible for use in the event of a red dot battery failure.

Springfield&#8217;s claim of the Hellcat Pro OSP having a &#8220;smaller footprint than any other gun in its class&#8221; rings true, as the frame is noticeably slimmer compared to my other compact handguns, all while maintaining a 15+1 or 17+1 round capacity. The 15-round magazine seamlessly aligns with the frame, while the 17-round mag adds approximately half an inch, accompanied by a frame extension for an extended grip\u2014ideal for those with larger hands. <a href=\"https:\/\/brownells.dts2xn.net\/MmE7N2\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-threaded-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\">Magazines<\/a> for the Hellcat Pro are readily available at a price of around $35.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0034-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"17-round magazine with cutouts to see how many rounds are loaded\" class=\"wp-image-195107\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0034-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0034-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0034-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0034-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0034.jpg 1522w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">17-round magazine with cutouts to see how many rounds are loaded<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Utilizing a full-length accessory rail, the Hellcat Pro OSP is accepting of almost all pistol weaponlights\/lasers on the market. In today&#8217;s era, I firmly advocate for every concealed handgun to be equipped with both a weapon light and a red dot sight. For this reason, I opted to mount an FDE Streamlight TLR-7A. Personally, my wife and I both utilize this exact weapon light on our carry guns. It is a high-performing weaponlight at a competitive price point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0045-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The Hellcat Pro OSP with a Vortex Defender CCW red dot, Streamlight TLR-7A weapon light, and a Silencerco Octane suppressor\" class=\"wp-image-195110\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0045-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0045-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0045-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0045-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0045.jpg 1494w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Hellcat Pro OSP with a Vortex Defender CCW red dot, Streamlight TLR-7A weapon light, and a Silencerco Octane suppressor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-controls\">Controls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The controls for this pistol follow a fairly standard configuration. The slide lock\/release is easily manipulated with just one hand, the takedown lever operates smoothly, and the mag release, though low profile, is easily activated. While some may prefer larger magazine releases, I appreciate the streamlined and low-profile design, making it an ideal shape for concealed carry. Additionally, the Hellcat\u00ae Pro&#8217;s magazine release is user-reversible, allowing for convenient ambidextrous use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0026-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Controls for the Hellcat Pro OSP\" class=\"wp-image-195108\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0026-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0026-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0026-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0026-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0026.jpg 1508w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Controls for the Hellcat Pro OSP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-trigger\">Trigger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The trigger is one of the most interactive parts of a firearm, so having a quality interface is imperative. I found the Hellcat Pro OSP to have a trigger similar to most other polymer handguns on the market. The take-up is smooth, and the wall is well-defined, but there is a decent amount of creep when pulling the trigger past the wall. One thing I like is that that after the shot, the trigger reset is right back on the wall leaving your finger ready for that next shot. I measured the pull weight to be between the 5.0-5.5lb mark which is standard for a carry gun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0029-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Hellcat Pro OSP trigger\" class=\"wp-image-195111\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0029-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0029-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0029-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0029-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0029.jpg 1451w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hellcat Pro OSP trigger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hellcat-pro-osp-precision\">Hellcat Pro OSP Precision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So how accurate is this pistol? Aiming to find out, I tested 5 different types of common carry ammunition and consistently got 5-round groups around 1&#8243; when shooting from 10 yards. I feel like the pistol is capable of even better groups, but the trigger creep made it tough to tighten these up. Shown below are the groups I shot with this pistol:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0036-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Groups shot from 10 yards.

Most of the ammunition used was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/index.php\/cName\/pistol-ammo-9mm\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-threaded-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\">9mm<\/a> 115gr or 124gr <a href=\"https:\/\/normashooting.com\/shop\/?filters=ammocaliber[106]|product_cat[917]|_stock_status[1]\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-threaded-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\">Norma<\/a> which can be found over at &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-fde-hellcat-pro-osp-threaded-9mm-pistol-review\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ammuntiontogo.com<\/a>.

While I have often had cycling issues when shooting suppressed with other pistols, the Hellcat ran without an issue. Around 75% of my shooting was suppressed, and I never had a single malfunction. This pistol ran with everything from 65gr Norma NXD to 147gr subsonic ammunition. For a concealed carry option, consumers demand rugged reliability, and during my testing the Hellcat Pro OSP delivered. I also appreciated the extended 17-round magazine that came with this pistol. Even though the 17-round mag comes with a frame extension, the grip also provides enough length for a solid grip. Some other compact options leave my palm hanging off the bottom of the magwell unsupported so I am thankful for the size of this frame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shootability-of-the-hellcat-pro-osp\">Shootability of the Hellcat Pro OSP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing I found interesting was the amount of unburned powder flying back and hitting me in the face when shooting suppressed. It was a lot and quite unpleasant. So much so that I would not shoot this handgun suppressed without wearing eye pro. Even so, I still found myself getting pelted in the face with every shot. Not sure if this was more of an ammo problem, or what, but I figured it was worth noting. Otherwise, this pistol shoots well. It is a bit more snappy than pistols such as a G19 or M&amp;P M2.0, but it is more compact so this is to be expected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0040-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"My buddy shooting suppressed with the Hellcat Pro OSP\" class=\"wp-image-195120\" title=\"Springfield Armory FDE Hellcat Pro OSP Threaded 9mm Pistol Review\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0040-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0040-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0040-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0040-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-0040.jpg 1506w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">My buddy shooting suppressed with the Hellcat Pro OSP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking about the frame size, it is large enough to grip well, yet small enough to conceal without a problem.

After shooting hundreds of rounds of various types of ammo both suppressed and unsuppressed, I never had a single malfunction. Reliability is essential when considering a pistol for an everyday carry option. Also, the Hellcat Pro OSP features an optic-ready slide, an accessory rail for mounting weapon lights, and even a threaded barrel for those who want to shoot suppressed. The MSRP for this FDE and Cerakoted Hellcat Pro OSP is $710. For those looking for a pistol that can do it all, this pistol fits the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a
