In any case, the calendar has rolled over into February, and Spring is just around the corner.
The Loot
First up, some praise for the pistol bag.
Simply put, theSpringfield Armory Dual Pistol Bag with Crossed Cannons logois a well-made piece of kit.
In this Gear Up promotion, Springfield Armory is offering an impressive collection of accessories when you purchase any new Echelon, Hellcat or Hellcat Pro pistol.
Of course, its a bag.
(I wont tell Springfield Armory about fitting more than two pistols in there if you dont.)
As for the magazines, this is a case where more is more.
Springfield Armory includes this dual pistol bag in the Gear Up promotion. Made of very durable materials, the bag can carry a pair of handguns along with a number of shooting accessories.
Last but certainly not least is a Crimson Trace CT-1500 Red Dot optic.
This red dot is going to be good-to-go on any of the optics-ready handguns available through Springfield Armory.
Thats a pretty neat freebie, and it makes this a great Gear Up.
The Springfield Armory Hellcat is considered by many to be the ultimate self-defense firearm. It is compact for ease of carry, yet it is chambered for a powerful handgun cartridge.
Now, lets talk about the guns that qualify you for the loot.
A heavier gun will shoot softer, but drag at the waistline.
So on, and so forth.
The Hellcat Pro offers the same great features as the original Hellcat, but in a slightly larger platform. Some shooters prefer the additional grip and barrel length. Shown with Crimson Trace CT-1500 red dot optic.
As soon as the Hellcat was introduced, the rest of the firearms industry found itself playing catch-up.

Now that the product line has matured a bit, there are a few more options for interested buyers.
The Springfield Echelon, shown here, is an advanced duty-style pistol suitable for law enforcement and home protection alike.
In addition, theHellcat RDPin included in this program as well.
First, the Hellcat Pro will give users a 3.7 barrel over the 3 barrel of the Hellcat.

The Springfield Echelon, such as this compact Echelon 4.0C, has a unique red dot sight mounting system. This allows you to directly attach a wide range of optics, including the Crimson Trace CT-1500 included in this promotion.
Of course, the other place where the Hellcat Pro gets a stretch is in the grip dimensions.
That essentially gives you a New York reload baked into the handgun.
The best way I would describe the Echelon is as an ergonomic marvel.

Of course, the real key feature of the Echelon is the modular nature of the platform.
Also, the Echelon features theVariable Interface System,a patent-pending optics-mounting system.
This offer will last through April 30, 2025.
Eligible buyers must show proof of purchase and fill out a redemption form online by that date.
Once completed, Springfield Armory will mail the care package to your doorstep.
