The buzz over the tiny new titan was undeniable, and I just had to experience it for myself.

But I would add one more requirement.

It will reward your investment of time and money into the project and keep you properly engaged.

The new Hellcat OSP with manual safety featuring the HEX Wasp micro red dot is the newest offering in thecompany’s line-up.

This is consistent with the20,000 round torture testthat Paul Carlson conducted with his Hellcat pistol.

Im also a gear-geek, a husband and a father.

As it stands, this model comes standard with the bladed safety feature on the face of the trigger.

This pistol works extremely well in both home defense and CCW applications.

However, some shooters prefer the inclusion of a manual safety option for a variety of reasons.

Safe & Secure

The new OSP model includes a manual safety option just like thenew Hellcat RDP.

Its just as simple as that its an option.

Training and familiarizing yourself with your EDC is paramount, whatever the platform, features and accessories may be.

The manual safety is now on the menu.

The Hellcats unique andinnovative Adaptive Grip Texture patternprovides a pattern of small staggered pyramid shapes.

Those aggressive top slide serrations make the Hellcat exceptionally easy to rack.

Additionally, the customizable, non-proprietary rail allows you to accessorize your EDC with lights like theSureFire XSC.

This cut is a perfect home for theHEX Wasp red dot opticI have riding on mine.

The Wasp will run for over 65,000 hours on its lowest power setting.

This pistol is a perfect defensive pairing for the Springfield Armory SAINT Edge rifle.

The thing is just sexy looking and operates like a champ.

Rugged, reliable and ready for action, the HEX Wasp is a phenomenal companion for your optics-ready shooter.

Conclusion

My takeaway on the whole package and these new options?

Train like you carry. Build muscle memory and train with the manual safety if it is to become part of your daily carry routine.
