Inside is the pistol and a zippered nylon case. The Springfield Hellcat doesn’t present this problem. While it isn’t difficult to conceal with a proper holster, the shredder-type grips are pretty abrasive, sometimes uncomfortable, against my back unless I wear an undergarment. I often carry my Springfield Lightweight Operator 1911 under a pulled out T-shirt. The grip stippling is not overly abrasive, but offers a good balance of adhesion and abrasion. This is a small gun with fewer trade-offs than some. The tapered magazine makes funneling the magazine in the magazine well fast. The magazine release is positive in operation. The trigger isn’t difficult to manage with minimal acclimation. The pistol features a flat trigger with an obligatory bladed lever safety set into the trigger face. As for dimensions, the pistol is only six-inches long and 4.5-inches tall. This is a dual-spring setup, the hot number for controlling recoil in very light pistols. The recoil spring is a big part of the pistol’s recoil-absorbing qualities. The pistol is well-finished and there are no obvious tool marks. Simply unload the pistol, double-check to be certain the chamber isn’t loaded, lock the slide to the rear, rotate the takedown lever, and then release the slide lock and run the slide off of the frame. The Hellcat disassembles easily enough for routine maintenance. The rear sight may be locked on a gun belt and used to rack the slide. It is easy enough to rapidly acquire this sight, and once lined up, the combination of a U-notch rear sight and the fiber-optic rear sight makes for excellent visibility. The U-notch rear sight is the type that was once called the old man’s sight. The steel slide features standard and forward cocking serrations, and even a set of cocking serrations on top of the slide. The Springfield Hellcat is smaller, however, and features a high-capacity magazine.
The pistol is similar to the Springfield XD-S handguns, and this means proven technology and reliability.
