The sides of the magazine well are relieved to allow the shooter to grab the base plate on the magazine in case of a malfunction. The trigger guard is undercut to allow the highest possible grip. But when pressure is applied, a more aggressive point is encountered, and the grip adheres better to the hand. We could feel the difference in adhesion to our hands when we increased pressure on the grip. The higher level has been somewhat flattened to lessen irritation when the pistol is carried against the skin. The frame itself has what Springfield calls “Adaptive Grip Texture.” This texture has at least two levels of pyramids, if you will. Controls protrude no more than necessary and are recessed into the sides of the polymer frame. The sear breaks at about 90 degrees, which we prefer, and, like the S&W Performance Shield, there is an overtravel bump behind the trigger, limiting rearward movement. The trigger face is almost flat, allowing the finger to go low on the trigger and provide more leverage. The trigger also reminds us of a product from that little company in Austria, with a couple of improvements. The height of the sights allows them to co-witness through the red-dot’s viewport, making them perfectly usable if the optic fails. The rear sight does not have to be removed to install the RMSc sight, which we greatly prefer. The rear is sight “U” shaped with a white outline below. The front is a steel blank with a tritium lamp surrounded by a light green plastic insert. The slide sports an excellent set of sights. The cover plate, when attached, includes matching serrations that go over the top of the slide – something that is functional and eye-catching. The slide is cut with cocking serrations front and rear. Since no dot sight is included, the pistol comes with a cover plate over the mount. The mount on the pistol is designed to fit the Shield RMSc or a JPoint sight. The Hellcat OSP, unlike the standard Hellcat, ships with the slide already cut for a red dot but does not offer a package that includes a red-dot sight at this time. Tritium lamp outlined with high-vis green circle w/mag extension and red dot sightĭrift adjustable w/white outline U-shape notch Overall length is only 6 inches, and the height, with the red dot attached and a flush-fit magazine, measures a mere 4.75 inches. In our opinion, this is the only pistol of this test group that could still reasonably be carried in a pocket, even with a red dot attached. Even though pocket carry might not be our first choice for a method of concealed carry, it is a fact of life down here during the summer. This group of testers lives in the very humid South. While the other pistols tested in this group were slightly larger than other versions of the same firearm, it would appear that Springfield decided to maintain a minimalist approach with its red-dot EDC solution.
