The Springfield Hellcat is a micro-compact 9mm pistol built for concealed carry. The standard model holds 11+1 with a flush-fit magazine or 13+1 with an extended magazine, one of the highest capacities in its size class. The 3-inch barrel and 6-inch overall length keep it easy to conceal. A flat-faced trigger, adaptive grip texture, and U-Dot tritium front sight come standard; optics-ready models accept a Springfield Micro footprint. The slide and barrel use a melonite finish for durability.
