You would think Springfield Armory would take some time to relax and enjoy the view from the top.
That, however, doesnt seem to be in Springfields repertoire.
Why Capacity Matters
When it comes to defensive handguns, capacity matters.
If we are talking micro-compact guns like the Hellcat, it matters even more.
The 15-round Hellcat magazine is a definite advantage for concealed carry and for value when training on the range.
When you are carrying concealed as a civilian or as an off-duty cop, the concealed part is important.
The Hellcat shines here because of its small size.
Generally, the smaller the gun, the easier it is to conceal.
And the Hellcats size makes concealment a breeze.
However, the traditional trade-off for small size is reduced capacity.
Frankly, the Hellcats 13+1 capacity is impressive for the size and concealability.
At the same time, wouldnt more be better?
And dont think that adding those two rounds over that of the 13-rounder adds much bulk.
That is a pretty small bulk increase for a significant amount ofmore defensive ammo.
Consider your typical training class.
Often, courses are designed around duty-sized guns, and as a result, duty-gun capacities.
Whats in There?
By my measurements, you get more than a 15% increase in capacity for just 14 more length.
That juice is worth the squeeze.
The grip spacer slides onto the mag body with a solid friction fit.
Its texture matches that of the hellcat perfectly, making the fit seamless.
However, these plates take up space that could be used to store ammunition.
They both stay exactly where they need to be with fewer parts and more room for ammo.
Dont forget your eye protection.

Im glad I did.
