Springfield Armory offers a variety of firearms to fit your everyday needs.
I personally switch between open carry and conceal carry guns based on my activities for the day.
So, how do I decide what to carry: my Hellcat vs a 1911 in 10mm?
So check out my video above, and keep reading my article that continues below.
Of course, there are manyother holsters for the Hellcat that are now available.
you could find many options to fit your needs.
This gun holds 11 rounds in the flush-fit magazine and 13 in the extended magazine.
Even with the extended magazine installed it measures only 4.5 tall.
I also like the ability toincrease the Hellcat magazine capacity with the Hyve Extensions.
The Hellcat is fun and easy to shoot, but also reliable.
During my summers I am a fly-fishing guide and fly fish in the backcountry often.
In the fall months I hunt wild game for a means of food.
During the winter and spring, I fish, hunt and hike often.
If I am wandering in the mountains, concealing a firearm is not a priority of mine.
Id rather open carry it on my hip and have it easily accessible for an emergency.
I like using a sturdy holster that secures to my belt or backpack strap.
I often use kydex or leather holsters, depending on the day.
My pistol of choice for this is the Range Officer Elite Operator 10mm from Springfield Armory.
I like how safe the 1911 system is.
The safety is reliable and secure for hiking in thick woods and crawling through brush.
Conclusion
So there you have it, my top choices for EDC and open carry.
