It was a lovely October Sunday afternoon in Arizona.

Debbie Keehart, myHer Handgunco-founder, and I were hosting our womens monthly practice session.

After a long, hot Arizona summer, 85-degree temps have that effect on us.

On this day,I brought Springfields new Hellcat 9mm micro compact pistol.

A lot of our ladies got a big smile on their face when I introduced the gun.

Thanks for letting me shoot the Hellcat, Kippi.

Women in competition shooting

I loved the sights; so easy to pick up.

The Hellcat obviously is much smaller than my XD-M 5.25, but it was such fun to shoot!

It is small, but substantial in weight, especially for its size.

Springfields quality is as apparent in this micro-compact as it is in my full-size XD-M.

Shooting the Hellcat was fun and the ergonomics made it easy to get the sights back on target.
