What Springfield Says About the Hellcat
Springfield built this pistol starting with a focus on making something small that doesn’t *feel* cheap. It’s a striker-fired pistol, which means it’s simple and reliable. The grip texture is designed to give you a firm hold, even when your hands are sweaty or cold. The slide is cut to accept a red dot optic, if you want to add one later, and it comes with a magazine that’s legal to use here in Alabama.
