The initial Hellcat launch included two models the standard Hellcat and the OSP (Optical Sight Pistol) Hellcat.

Springfield created an incredible performing micro 9mm pistol that was loaded with features.

I instantly fell in love with the fit and function of the Hellcat.

This is the model that started it all. The Springfield Hellcat packs 11+1 rounds of 9mm and is equipped with some of the best sights in the industry.

Man shooting a Hellcat RDP pistol with red dot

Everyone has their favorite Hellcat. It is tough, however, to beat the RDP with the threaded barrel, compensator and included red dot sight.

Once the red dot was sighted in, it fired so accurately I felt like I was cheating.

Everything Ive learned about shooting was turned upside down.

Relying on and trusting a red dot on a handgun was a unique experience.

Once I settled in, I realized why so many shooters were carrying pistols with red dot optics.

I became ahuge fan of the Hellcat OSP.

The beautiful desert flat dark earth model certainly added to my excitement as well.
