The texturing itself is a stipple like texturing with micro texturing on the frame. And it also extends to the mag sleeve on the 13 round magazines, if those are the magazines you’re using on Springfield Armory Hellcat. The texturing extends 360 degrees around the bottom of the grip. Texturingĭoing the Springfield Hellcat Review we discovered there is texturing all over this grip. Depending on the size of your hand you might feel a slight discomfort in the rear grip of the tang. They could be a little bit better and it could slope into the frame itself at a gentler slope than it does. There is a slight beavertail at the rear of the gun and your hand is able to get very high in that tang/beavertail area of the gun.Īnd the ergonomics on it are fairly comfortable. The Springfield Armory Hellcat does not offer removable back straps or anything at the s as such which is very normal on a gun of this size or the grip to be a one-size-fits-all solution. There is a little bit of a bevel on the mag well of the Springfield Armory Hellcat making the mags fairly easy to insert the shape of the magazine at the top also seems to match up well with that bevel further aiding easy insertion. One thing the Sig p365 does have over the Springfield Armory Hellcat is Sig offers a 15 round magazine that can bring the capacity of the P365 and Sig P365XL to 16 rounds with one in the chamber.Īs of right now, there are no aftermarket mags that exceed 13 rounds. So, they’re very reasonably priced and beat the Sig offerings which are $40 or greater. The magazines themselves sell for around the $30 price point through retailers. Although I will say the Hellcat is slightly larger for the increased capacity. This just slightly outclasses the Sig P365 with its 10 and 12 round magazines’ internal capacity. The Springfield Armory Hellcat has an 11-round magazine in its flush fit format and they also offer a 13-round magazine. Many love it for AIWB carry although the muzzle is a little short and it may not be as comfortable. With its short grip, it works great for strongside carry. It’s small enough to be used for multiple carry positions.

There is little doubt the Hellcat was designed for concealed carry. We couldn’t do a Springfield Hellcat Review without mentioning this. it is worth mentioning and it’s something you can look into. We’re just here to discuss the gun today. You can believe the Springfield side or you can believe the other side. Springfield has their own side of the story as well as many people in the gun industry who think they have sold out. Now you can’t mention Springfield Armory without discussing their political actions in the state of Illinois that occurred in 2017. In a size that is slightly smaller than the Sig p365.

They said, “Let’s redesign a handgun that is not based on our XD series directly.ĭoes not include a lot of the features like the grip safety that people think are outdated on the XD series of handguns.” The result was the Springfield Armory Hellcat with its 11 plus one capacity. So, Springfield got together with HS products. Including Springfield whose XDS sales had been waning. When the Sig p365 was introduced, that gun took away a lot of the sales from all the other manufacturers. They came in a price point that was slightly more expensive than the Smith and Wesson Shield. Those guns were quite popular until other manufacturers like Glock started making guns in the same size class.
