The original Hellcat was generally well received, and has sold its fair share of units. That said, keeping a 13+1 9mm capacity contained in just 4.5″ of height by 1″ wide is a solid offering, and the market took note. However, it’s not uncommon for shooters of these models to employ optional extended 12 or 15-round magazines, so the “highest capacity” claim can fairly be taken with a grain of salt. Shipping these diminutive guns with a 13-round magazine and an 11-rounder, Springfield advertised their newest pistol as “The highest capacity micro-compact 9mm in the world.” The Hellcat’s size is comparable to SIG SAUER’s P365 or the Glock 26, and both of those handguns use 10-rounders as their standard, baseline mags. For this micro-compact’s design and production, Springfield returned to their friends in Croatia, HS Produkt, with whom they’d previously partnered on the XD series. Just before SHOT Show 2020, they announced a new handgun model: the Hellcat. Today, Springfield sells several lines of rifles and pistols. The compensator features an excellent self-timing design that allows for quick threading on or off, so you can easily switch to the uncompensated configuration shown here.
