Interested in a carry gun that’s optics-ready, designed to perform, and in Desert FDE? Springfield Armory has you covered with the Hellcat Pro OSP. This is a gun made with concealed carry and self-defense in mind. From its slide serrations to its aggressively textured grip, this gun is a great option whether you’re looking for an EDC (everyday carry) or simply want a new range gun.
Springfield Armory provided details of the handgun:
Designed to deliver the perfect balance, the Desert FDE Hellcat Pro is a compact pistol chambered in 9mm that offers 15+1 capacity in a smaller footprint than any other gun in its class. The 9mm pistol packs in impressive capacity while still maintaining the ergonomic, slim profile of the original Hellcat for seamless concealability.
At just 1 wide, the slim-line grip feels superb in the hand, increasing contact and control, while the additional mass in the longer slide and barrel translates into reduced muzzle flip and faster follow-up shots. The lightweight polymer frame features our Adaptive Grip Texture, a seamless, pressure-activated texture featuring a pattern of staggered pyramid shapes. The taller pyramids have a flattened top to ensure comfort against the body, while the shorter pyramids come to a point and are engaged when the pistol is firmly gripped.
Developed with the use of red dot optics in mind, the Hellcat Pro features an OSP (Optical Sight Pistol) configuration. The slide is milled with the Springfield Micro™ footprint, designed to direct mount the smallest, most popular micro red dots on the market for the lowest mount possible. Backing up your choice of optic is an excellent set of co-witnessing U-Dot sights, made up of a high visibility tritium & luminescent front sight paired with a Tactical Rack rear sight.
Steve Kramer, Springfield Armory’s Vice President of Marketing, said, “With the Hellcat Pro now available in Desert FDE, shooters have an appealing new option for their CCW firearm. This popular color further expands the Hellcat line of pistols, renowned for their performance and EDC-ready capabilities.”
