Each of the handguns is similar, yet with differences that easily distinguish one from another.
It is those differences that make each appeal to the needs of different shooters.
Lets take a look at the trio dealt by Springfield Armory.
An extended magazine is included with the pistol and gives you one additional round of felon repellent.
In .380 ACP, the gun is a bit shorter and lighter but has the same capacity options.
Both versions of the gun offer the classic 1911 feel and offer an ambidextrous thumb safety.
The gun is a single-action pistol with a crisp trigger pull that you will really enjoy.
On top of the 416 stainless steel slide, Springfield uses high-visibility night sights.
However, that popularity ensures ample aftermarket support for the guns, with many holsters and optics already available.
Why is the gun so successful?
They certainly seemed to know exactly what the shooting public was looking for.
Further, many models are available with afactory slide cut for a red dot optic.
This is a deep-cover, striker-fired pistol that is straightforward and uncomplicated.
I would not classify the Hellcat as an experts pistol.
Ive spoken with regular shooters who are infatuated with this gun.
Springfield Armory XD Sub-Compact
A classic part of the deep-cover Springfield Armory line is the XD Sub-Compact.
But this isnt a gun with training wheels.
Quite the opposite, actually.
The gun can run hard and fast, giving you a trump card in a tough situation.
It also makes a great backup gun for professionals who carry a gun as part of their uniform.
That wider grip I mentioned takes 13-round magazines, standard.
It also can run from the larger 16-round magazines that feed the Service Pistol.
All In
Which card you decide to play is up to you.
The key is to find the one that meets your deep-cover needs.
Once you find the correct pistol, get to the range and train.
As in poker, having the right cards is only part of the overall response to a self-defense situation.
You also need to know how and when to play them.
