It seems the Hellcat Pro was right for a lot of people.
Springfield Armory expanded the line to more than a dozen models so far with something for just about everyone.
Lets go over the Hellcat Pro lineup and see whats currently offered.
The Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro lineup is extensive, with a range of color finishes and feature options. Desert FDE model with SMSc red dot option is shown here.
Many people say the heart of a performance gun is in the barrel.
Springfield Armory uses a 3.7 hammer-forged barrel in the Hellcat Pro.
While it is not labeled as a match grade barrel, Ive found that my gun is extremely accurate.
The Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro is designed to be the ideal concealed carry pistol with defensive-grade sights, aggressive grip texture and an optics-ready slide.
For increased durability and corrosion resistance, the barrel has a Melonite finish.
The body of the gun is a durable black polymer.
The grip fills my average-sized hands perfectly without having a pinky hanging off of the bottom.
This Hellcat Pro is perfectly set up for every day carry with a spare magazine, holster and an SMSc optic.
It lends itself well to long shooting sessions in all kinds of weather.
Forward of the trigger guard, Springfield includes an integral accessory rail.
Using the industry-standard rail allows you to add any light or laser to the pistol easily.
One very popular Hellcat Pro model is the Desert FDE option. Both the slide and polymer frame are finished in the tan color.
The slide is melonite-finished to ensure a lifetime of use.
Other optics like the Trijicon RMRcc can also mount to the gun with an adaptor plate.

The California compliant handguns are on the state’s “approved” roster, so they can be sold to residents of the Golden State.
Of course, you may not even want to add an optic after you see the sights.
Surrounding the vial is a large photoluminescent ring that is excellent in all lighting environments.
The front sight is fast to find.
Springfield Armory offers a number of Hellcat Pro models with threaded barrels. This one is shown fitted with a sound suppressor to protect the shooter’s hearing.
In the back, Springfield Armory uses a large U-notch rear sight.
The wide notch has a white outline that allows you to quickly align the front sight for accurate shooting.
