One company that can help you accomplish this is Hyve Technologies.
They make an assortment of quality accessories for various firearms on the market.
Hyves been around for more than three decades machining precision parts for the automotive and aerospace industries.
The Hyve Technologies +1/+3 Magazine Extension gives you a really cool upgrade for your Hellcat pistol.
More recently, the company expanded its offerings to include firearms parts.
Both parts are precision machined aluminum and finished in the companys own, unique colors.
I took both products for a spin at the range to see how they assembled and performed.
The Hyve Slide Plate Cover will absolutely turn heads at the range.
Lets jump into that now.
I recommend using a small flathead screwdriver to depress the spring in your factorySpringfield Armory Hellcatmagazine.
Once the spring is depressed, slide off the factory magazine floorplate.
The provided Allen key makes installing the magazine extension very easy.
The Hyve Technologies extension slides onto the magazine body.
Once in place, tighten down the Allen screw to secure the extension to the mag body.
Hyve includes an Allen wrench for you to secure the extension.
On a standard Hellcat 11-round magazine, the Hyve extension will give you a +3 boost of rounds. On a 13-rounder, you gain +1.
Reversing the process is a bit harder.
But, how much more?
On a factory 11-round Hellcat magazine, the Hyve +1/+3 Magazine Extension bumps your capacity to 14 rounds.
The Slide Cover Plate from Hyve does not alter the function of your Hellcat, but does make it look really cool!
On a Springfield Armory 13-round magazine, the Hyve mag extension increases your carrying capacity to 14 rounds.
So, it can be used with any factory Springfield Armory Hellcat magazine for a +3 or +1 increase.
The Hyve extension makes the magazine a tad bit longer than a 13-round Hellcat magazine.
The Hyve extension is available in a wide range of colors.
If it was not for the distinctive styling, you may not even notice the difference.
After repeated shooting, the Hyve Technologies Magazine Extension remained secure and did not shift from its original position.
There was reliable feeding of every round.
Adam fitted out his Hellcat and ran it on the range with Blazer 115-gr. 9mm ammo with no trouble at all. It turned a lot of heads while he was there.
I could find no fault with the function of these Hellcat accessories.
More than one person stopped and asked me what those accessories were that I had installed on my Hellcat.
As always, join us again soon onThe Armory Life, be safe out there, and happy shooting!
