This is particularly true for me regarding my firearms.

The heart of the Hellcat is its barrel.
Apex manufactures these barrels from premium quality cold hammer-forged stainless steel blanks.

Their dedication to quality without compromise is obvious in everything they do.

The Apex extended slide lock was a great addition, as well.
This Hellcat Pro has a custom look to match its upgraded parts, giving the author exactly the custom-style EDC gun he wanted.
I also happened to have a JK Armament CCX suppressor that I tested out.
The cool thing about the CCX is that its so small and lightweight that it doesnt need a booster.
