Overview

The Springfield Hellcat Pro is the full-size-grip evolution of the original Hellcat, delivering a remarkable 15+1 capacity in a frame that remains highly concealable. Where the original Hellcat sacrificed grip length for maximum concealment, the Pro extends the grip to accept flush-fit 15-round magazines, bridging the gap between micro-compact concealment and compact-class capacity without the bulk of a Glock 19.

The 3.7-inch barrel keeps overall length compact while providing adequate velocity for defensive ammunition. The factory optic cut uses the Shield RMSc footprint, compatible with Holosun EPS Carry, Shield RMSc, and other micro red dots designed for the smallest optic footprint. An integrated Picatinny rail accommodates compact weapon lights like the Streamlight TLR-7 Sub.

Springfield's adaptive grip texture provides traction without the sandpaper-like aggression of some competitors, making it comfortable for extended appendix carry. The Hellcat Pro competes directly with the SIG P365 XL and has carved out a loyal following among concealed carriers who prioritize capacity density - more rounds per cubic inch of pistol than nearly any competitor in its class.
