Certainly, the gun is an important part, but without proper support gear, the gun is useless.
For example, a gun needs thebest defensive ammo.
A concealed carry handgun needs a belt and a holster.
The Hellcat is durable and shootable, and its size makes it very carryable.
The Burdette HC3 for the Hellcat OSP is an outstanding holster for discreet carry.
It is compatible with a wide range ofred dot sights available for the Hellcat.
In this review, I examine why the HC3 is the perfect match for the Hellcat.
The Hellcat is designed as a high-capacity, small, lightweight and concealable handgun.
The size profile of Springfields micro-compact pistol places it perfectly as a gun to be carried concealed.
It makes sense to have a holster that complements the guns ability to travel unseen.
Joe was plain and simple scratching his own itch.
Detective Weyer stated specifically, There is no free lunch when it comes to designing the right holster.
But, in the balance, this benefit of concealment can outweigh the need for speed.
I asked Weyer why the development of the HC3 was important for his use of the Hellcat.
I need a holster that supports this idea.
I wasnt after a super-fast draw.
Instead, I wanted the emphasis to be on concealability and I knew Burdette could make it happen.
Weyer wasnt looking for a competition holster.
Instead, he wanted a holster that would help him carry the Hellcat anywhere.
Joe filled Burdette in on his requirements and the leathermaker got to work.
It had the features that Detective Weyer prioritized for a high level of useability and concealability.
The HC3 has everything it needs, and nothing it doesnt.
The leather used is thin, but stiff and durable, minimizing the size increase.
Small details help to decrease the size and increase comfort.
If you pay attention, you might see there isnt any stitching on the sweat guard at all.
Its a lot easier to trim off excess leather than to try and tack it on after the fact.
Clip:How a holster attaches to the belt determines a significant portion of a holsters personality.
The spring steel clip on the HC3 keeps the holster in place when worn.
When I say in place, I mean right there, locked in, in place.
It isnt sloppy or loose.
Instead, it is tight, just the way I prefer it.
At the same time, the clip allows the user to don or doff the holster with relative ease.
Final Thoughts
Concealed carry is a system.
We must remember that all the different parts of that system support one another.
It isnt just about the gun its about the whole system.
Joe Weyer and Burdette Custom Gunleather get that.
