Then roll the extractor into the breach, and out of the way. Once the extractor is out, relieve tension on the striker block so it doesn&#8217;t shoot out.<\/li>\n<li>Consider cleaning out the extractor channel while everything is taken apart.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Install the replacement extractor.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Press the striker block as far in as you can, up out of the way, so the extractor can be seated properly.<\/li>\n<li>Drop the extractor into the breach, roll it back, then drop it into the slide.<\/li>\n<li>When you release the striker block, the extractor is held in place.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Reinstall the plunger assembly.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Take note of the small shelf on it. That shelf has to go down against the extractor. If it goes up or any other direction, it&#8217;s not going to seat properly.<\/li>\n<li>Insert the plunger assembly and guide it forward. If you&#8217;ve got it right, you&#8217;ll be able to see it come through the window and push against the back of the extractor. If it&#8217;s not aligned right, it&#8217;ll sit inside the window and won&#8217;t protrude.<\/li>\n<li>Put the striker back in.<\/li>\n<li>Put the backplate back on: press in the striker with the fork on the backplate and press the plunger in with the pin punch. The backplate should snap into place.<\/li>\n<li>Perform a function check when the slide is reassembled. Using the pin punch, articulate the extractor inside the breech a couple of times to make sure it moves.<\/li>\n<li>If the function check is unsuccessful, go through the assembly process again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"text-center article-image d-flex justify-content-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-107887 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/apex-tactical-extractor-springfield-hellcat-function-test.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 480px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 480\/270;\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Apex also has these extractors available for Gen 3\/5 Glocks, Gen 4 Glocks, FN 509, M&amp;P, and M&amp;P M2.0 model pistols.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the full installation video.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"text-center article-iframe d-flex flex-wrap justify-content-center\"><iframe title=\"How To Install The Apex Extractor For The Hellcat\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ej5TaDFwqKE?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Hogue Beavertail HandALL Grip Sleeves for the Hellcat<\/h2>\n<p><em>(November 2020)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Hogue has expanded their line of HandALL grip sleeves to include models fit for the Springfield Hellcat.

Hogue HandALL Beavertail grip sleeves come in a variety of colors and retail at an affordable $12.95.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_115948\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-115948\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-115948 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hogue-Beavertail-grip-sleeves-Hellcat-accessories.jpg\" alt=\"Hellcat accessories - Hogue Beavertail grip sleeves in six colors\" width=\"750\" height=\"429\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hogue-Beavertail-grip-sleeves-Hellcat-accessories.jpg 750w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hogue-Beavertail-grip-sleeves-Hellcat-accessories-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hogue-Beavertail-grip-sleeves-Hellcat-accessories-400x229.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hogue-Beavertail-grip-sleeves-Hellcat-accessories-150x86.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 750\/429;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-115948\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The new grip sleeves are available in six different colors, made of thermoplastic elastomer, and designed to fit securely with the Hellcat&#8217;s texture and contours.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Specs<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Precision fit for Springfield Armory Hellcat<\/li>\n<li>Material: Rubber<\/li>\n<li>Texture: Cobblestone<\/li>\n<li>Colors: Black, FDE, Olive Drab Green, Purple, Aqua, and Pink<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"text-center article-image d-flex justify-content-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-115949 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hogue-Beavertail-HandALL-Hellcat-Grip-Sleeves.jpg\" alt=\"Hogue Beavertail HandALL Hellcat Grip Sleeves\" width=\"750\" height=\"429\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hogue-Beavertail-HandALL-Hellcat-Grip-Sleeves.jpg 750w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hogue-Beavertail-HandALL-Hellcat-Grip-Sleeves-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hogue-Beavertail-HandALL-Hellcat-Grip-Sleeves-400x229.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hogue-Beavertail-HandALL-Hellcat-Grip-Sleeves-150x86.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 750\/429;\" \/><\/div>\n<h3>Features<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Gentle palm swells fit comfortably in hand<\/li>\n<li>Finger grooves naturally position fingers for optimal grip<\/li>\n<li>Textured with Hogue&#8217;s famous Cobblestone pattern for increased comfort and grip<\/li>\n<li>Beavertail cushions the hand on recoil and offers increased hand comfort higher on the grip<\/li>\n<li>Made from long-lasting durable thermoplastic elastomer that ages gracefully for years of service<\/li>\n<li>Designed for a tight and secure fit engaging with the texture and contours of the firearm&#8217;s frame<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>New Apex Action Enhancement Trigger for the Springfield Hellcat<\/h2>\n<p><em>(August 2020)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Apex Tactical Specialties just announced its new Action Enhancement Trigger for the Springfield Hellcat pistol.

The Clinger Holsters rigs might be the next step forward. Their hinge system is aimed at strongside IWB. The rig uses a polymer holster with two leather wings that house the clips for your belt. It\u2019s odd but super functional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"text-center article-image d-flex justify-content-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-59095 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Clinger-Holsters-IWB-Hinge-Springfield-Armory-Hellcat.jpg\" alt=\"Clinger Holsters IWB Hinge with Springfield Armory Hellcat 9mm pistol\" width=\"750\" height=\"416\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Clinger-Holsters-IWB-Hinge-Springfield-Armory-Hellcat.jpg 750w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Clinger-Holsters-IWB-Hinge-Springfield-Armory-Hellcat-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Clinger-Holsters-IWB-Hinge-Springfield-Armory-Hellcat-400x222.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Clinger-Holsters-IWB-Hinge-Springfield-Armory-Hellcat-150x83.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 750\/416;\" \/><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It allows the gun to sit extremely close to the body, remaining comfortable and unencumbered. The Clinger Holster IWB Hinge system keeps it simple and comfortable. The gun remains easy to draw and absolutely disappears under light clothing. It\u2019s simple and, in a way, quite ingenious. Clinger also produces a pad to attach to the side of the rig for increased comfort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Alien Gear Shapeshift Hellcat Holster<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Shapeshift system is so much a single holster but a series of holsters that incorporate a common shell. The Alien Gear system is quite ingenious and allows one to carry a gun in nearly a dozen different ways. This includes a shoulder rig, ankle rig, cheat rig, and normal IWB, OWB, and AIWB options. You swap shells from backing to backing, and you can carry any which way you like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"text-center article-image d-flex justify-content-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-59096 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alien-Gear-Shapeshift-Hellcat-Holster.jpg\" alt=\"Alien Gear Shapeshift Hellcat Holster IWB and OWB\" width=\"750\" height=\"532\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alien-Gear-Shapeshift-Hellcat-Holster.jpg 750w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alien-Gear-Shapeshift-Hellcat-Holster-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alien-Gear-Shapeshift-Hellcat-Holster-400x284.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Alien-Gear-Shapeshift-Hellcat-Holster-150x106.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 750\/532;\" \/><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Shapeshift is the most modular Hellcat Holster on the list. It allows you to carry with essentially the same holster over many different rigs. If you normally go AIWB but gotta prepare for a road trip? Well, toss on the shoulder rig or even the ankle rig. Each backing can be used throughout the whole Shapeshift line, so if you wanna carry your Glock instead of your Hellcat, you can use the same backings with a different shell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Shapeshift system is a massive undertaking from Alien Gear and the start of something interesting for the holster industry. However, for right now, it\u2019s the most modular Hellcat Holster on the market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hellcat Holster Market\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are the Springfield Hellcat holsters that interest me <em>as of this writing<\/em>.

It takes some time for the accessory market to see how consumers respond to a gun and then take action to bring products to market. As an example, Springfield Armory&#8217;s recent micro-compact pistol; it&#8217;s a great little handgun, but there was necessarily a gap between the release and the first availability of a Springfield Hellcat holster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holster manufacturers can\u2019t afford to invest in the R&amp;D and the tooling to bring a product to market unless that gun is going to be a success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have enjoyed shooting my Springfield Hellcat, but until now I hadn\u2019t found the right holster for it.

Burdette has been a police officer for 27 years. He started making holsters because he couldn\u2019t find quality holsters that he could afford on a cop\u2019s salary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I appreciate the fact that Doyle understands the importance of the role a holster plays. If a holster isn\u2019t comfortable you won\u2019t wear it. A holster that makes it hard to hide a gun won\u2019t get used either. Both issues result in your gun being at home instead of on your body. A holster also has to keep the gun accessible. If you can\u2019t draw it, you might as well not have it\u2026 These aspects of the importance of holsters are lost on many holster makers who instead are focused on churning out holsters that only meet <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">some<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the needs an armed citizen has.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the Burdette Custom Gun Leather site:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEvery holster design I make has been tested by officers or others who go in harm&#8217;s way.

It has just the right amount of give in just the right places. It has been years since I have slid a leather holster into my waistband. When I clipped the Burdette Hellcat holster onto my belt I realized that I have missed leather.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The size of the Hellcat micro-compact and the holster complement each other.

Instead, it is optimized for concealment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hellcat is a naturally concealable handgun because of its diminutive size. The Burdette Custom Holster makes it more so. To the right of the trigger guard is built up on the holster to help and cam the magazine into the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, the holster is slightly longer than the slide of the gun. This additional length can help to spread the pressure of the gun out over a larger area. This is more comfortable but also helps with concealability. The extra 1\/4\u201d, when coupled with the stiff spring steel clip, helps to keep the mass of the grip from rolling out away from the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of the clip, the ride height is set so that the gun sits deep in the waistband to help hide the gun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Accessibility<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The gun sits deep but not too deep. There is just enough room for me to get my fingers between my belt and the grip of the gun. This allows me to establish a full firing grip while the gun is still in the holster. The holster is just supple enough to allow the belt to increase the retention of the holster, but it isn\u2019t so soft that it collapses when the gun comes out. This makes one-handed reholstering an easy task.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Details<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is clear that the details were well thought out on the holster. Many of the details are a result of Burdette\u2019s 25 years of experience in making holsters. Joe Weyer, a career LEO and head trainer at Alliance Police Training also advised Burdette on the holster. Weyer gave input to Springfield as they developed the Hellcat. As a result, has a vested interest in having a quality holster for the subcompact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not surprising that details were attended to in the holster. An excellent example is that the seam on the holster is on the face, under the clip instead of along the trigger guard or the sight channel. The intent is to increase comfort for the wearer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_35021\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35021\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35021 lazyload\" title=\"Springfield Hellcat holster\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hellcat-custom-holster-6-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Burdette Hellcat Holster\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hellcat-custom-holster-6-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hellcat-custom-holster-6-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hellcat-custom-holster-6-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hellcat-custom-holster-6-400x225.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunmagwarehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hellcat-custom-holster-6.jpeg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 750\/422;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-35021\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The mouth of the holster stays open enough so that the Hellcat can be holstered with one hand.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Sweat Guard<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m not sure I\u2019m a super fan of the sweat guard.
