The Springfield Hellcat Pro is a variant of Springfield Armory’s popular Hellcat series of compact pistols. The Hellcat Pro was introduced as a larger, more feature-packed version of the original Hellcat, designed to offer a more comfortable shooting experience while maintaining a high level of concealability and performance.
Here are some key features of the Springfield Hellcat Pro:
- Size & Capacity: The Hellcat Pro is a micro-compact pistol, but it is slightly larger than the standard Hellcat. It comes with a 15+1 round capacity in a 9mm configuration, making it one of the higher-capacity options in its class.
- Barrel & Frame: The Hellcat Pro has a 3.7-inch barrel and a slightly larger grip compared to the original Hellcat. The frame is made of polymer, and the slide is made of steel, featuring serrations for better grip.
- Optics-Ready: The Hellcat Pro is optics-ready, with an optics rail on the slide to accommodate micro red-dot sights, which enhances accuracy and speed for target acquisition.
- Trigger: The pistol features a flat-face trigger for a smooth and consistent pull. It is designed to be crisp, making it suitable for both self-defense and target practice.
- Sights: It comes with U-Dotâ„¢ sights, which combine a high-visibility front sight with a contrasting rear sight for quick aiming in various lighting conditions.
- Ergonomics: The Hellcat Pro is designed to be comfortable in hand, with a textured grip that offers a firm hold, even in adverse conditions. Its slightly larger size compared to the original Hellcat provides more room for the user’s hand, improving control.
- Recoil Management: Thanks to its larger size and design, the Hellcat Pro has a more manageable recoil compared to smaller concealed-carry pistols, making it easier to shoot accurately.
- Safety Features: The Hellcat Pro includes a grip safety and passive trigger safety, making it a secure option for concealed carry.
