Who It’s For

This pistol is built for anyone who carries every day and refuses to compromise on capacity or concealability. If you are a new carrier looking for your first micro compact, the Hellcat’s manageable recoil and intuitive controls make it a solid choice. Experienced shooters will appreciate the 13-round extended magazine for a full grip, while the 11-round flush magazine works well for pocket or ankle carry. The springfield hellcat 9mm desert fde micro compact pistol is also a great option for shooters with smaller hands, as the grip circumference is slim and the reach to the trigger is short.
