Each link opens the video at the moment quoted.* > I have held better micro compacts in my hand while shooting this pistol my thumb ends up holding the slide release down which consequently fails to lock the slide back on an empty magazine. > > — [All About Survival](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu4_qwokeL4&t=113s) > For as good as the Hellcat was it was still a very small gun firing a 9mm round. > > — [Colion Noir](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRHwMco0Ayc&t=60s) > I feel the position of the slide release is much better on the p365 however one thing that i like quite a lot is the slide serrations. > > — [All About Survival](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu4_qwokeL4&t=143s) > Some are even calling it a better trigger than glock but i probably would disagree with that but i must mention that it has a shorter travel than glock. > > — [All About Survival](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu4_qwokeL4&t=194s) > Tracking the target with a big yellow front sight is simple which makes taking follow-up shots fairly easy the recoil is also mild and the adaptive grip greatly allows you to maintain the grip. > > — [All About Survival](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu4_qwokeL4&t=325s) ## What Customers Say *AI-generated insights from customer reviews* The Hellcat OSP's main draw is its combination of high capacity and small footprint. Owners regularly note that 11+1 or 13+1 rounds from a gun that conceals like a single-stack is the reason they chose it over competing micro-compacts, and that point comes up in nearly every positive review. The optics-ready slide gets consistent appreciation from buyers who wanted to run a red dot without cutting a custom slide or buying a separate model. The Adaptive Grip Texture draws mixed reactions. People with rough hands or those who shoot in gloves often like it; others find it abrasive during extended range sessions against bare skin. Critical feedback tends to land in a few places: the trigger pull is heavier and less crisp than some users expected for a carry pistol, and factory sights, while functional with the tritium insert, lead some buyers to swap the rear sight immediately. A subset of owners report that the pistol needed 200-300 rounds of break-in before running all ammunition types reliably, which is frustrating given the intended carry role. Aftermarket accessory selection is narrower than for Glock or SIG platforms, though it has grown steadily since the Hellcat launched. ## Pricing **1 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | Guns Com | $479.99 | ## Similar Products - [Springfield Hellcat OSP 9mm Micro-Compact Optics-Ready Pistol](https://gunsnation.com/p/springfield-hellcat-osp-9mm-micro-compact-optics-ready-pistol/UCCR41mb0) - [Springfield Hellcat OSP 9mm Micro-Compact with Shield SMSc Optic](https://gunsnation.com/p/springfield-hellcat-osp-9mm-micro-compact-with-shield-smsc-optic/UCCR41jW6) - [Springfield Hellcat OSP 9MM Compact 13-Round Optics-Ready Pistol](https://gunsnation.com/p/springfield-hellcat-osp-9mm-compact-13-round-optics-ready-pistol/UCCR41ipc) - [Springfield Hellcat 9MM Micro-Compact - 13-Round Concealed Carry Pistol](https://gunsnation.com/p/springfield-hellcat-9mm-micro-compact-13-round-concealed-carry-pistol/UCCR41ipO) - [Springfield Hellcat OSP 9MM Subcompact FDE - Optics Ready](https://gunsnation.com/p/springfield-hellcat-osp-9mm-subcompact-fde-optics-ready/UCCR41jzj) - [Springfield Hellcat OSP: Compact 9mm, High-Capacity Carry Pistol](https://gunsnation.com/p/springfield-hellcat-osp-compact-9mm-high-capacity-carry-pistol/UCCR41jhf) --- *Data from [GunsNation](https://gunsnation.com)*
