Dont get me wrong, I have my permit and I carry.
But, I dont care for their feel in my hands and recoil when shooting them.
If you are familiar with my YouTube channel, you know this is what I like to do!
So, all that being said, I was not exactly the target audience for theHellcat micro 9mm.
Here is a real quick background on the Hellcat, just in case you are not familiar with it.
Springfield released the Hellcat in September 2019, and its chambered in the popular 9mm round.
My Test
Ok …. so it is intended for concealed carry.
Sure, but what can I do with this little gun?
How much FUN can I have with it?
The reason I was excited to test the Hellcat was because of how it feels in my hands.
Give me a red dot on a pistol and I can push the distance if its a decent shooter.
The Hellcat is small.
Its a concealed carry gun, so it is not meant for distance … at all.
This is a close-quarters self-defense firearm.
25 yards is considered a maximum distance and, for most, completely impractical.
Pushing It Out
Well, doing what I like doing, I zeroed it at 50 yards.
Yep, you read that correctly 50 yards.
Using Geco 9mm Luger 115-gr.
FMJ, I was able to get around 4-6 groups at 50 yards using a rest and sandbag.
Now, of course, who is using a bench and bag for a pistol, right?
So, I went down to about 20 yards and did a mag dump on steel.
This was not difficult at all.
I then went back to 50 and tried it standing with pretty decent luck.
What surprised me was what I was able to do at 100 yards standing.
I was able to do surprisingly well!
