Better price and fast shipping

This great pistol was an average of $50 to $150 dollars cheaper at brownells and it was at my FFL in two days. Whats not to like about that?

PERFECT CARRY GUN

I love my new Springfield Hellcat 9mm pistol. I have been a S&W Shield 40 owner for 8 years and it was my EDC. The Shield is a great concealed carry gun but it was only a 6 +1 round gun in 40 S&W and the typically purchased Shield 9mm was a 7 +1 round gun. The Hellcat is slightly smaller and slightly lighter than the Shield, but it holds 5 more rounds than the Shield 40 and 4 more rounds than the Shield 9mm (see photos). Note that the Shield 9mm and Shield 40 are identical sized guns. I use the Hellcat with the flat mag base plates so I have 11 +1 round in the gun and carry another 11 round backup mag for a total of 23 rounds. Springfield also has a 13 round mag but I do not like the pinky extension on mags as I try to keep the gun as small as possible. My Hellcat trigger came stock with a 5 1/2 pound trigger pull, which is perfect for my use. The Hellcat is accurate, has a great non-slip grip, I like the new style sights, it has minimal felt recoil even when shooting +P ammunition, and it is easy for me to fire several rapid shots and keep the hits on target. The Hellcat is now my EDC gun. I doubt I will put the red dot optics on this self-defense gun because picking up the red dot in a mini optics window opening takes more time than sighting using open sights. The mini red dot is tiny compared to using a larger red dot optic where the dot is much easier to find. A second or two lost looking for that red dot could be costly. Since it only cost $30 more for the optics model Hellcat, I thought it was well worth it just in case I change my mind about adding the mini red dot. I highly recommend this gun. My Hellcat was ordered when Brownells had their Black Friday Deal back in November 2019. Brownells was offering pre-orders for the Hellcat standard model at $455 including shipping. I placed the order and a couple days later I contacted Brownells to see if I could pay the $30 extra to upgrade to the optics ready model and Brownells said yes. I received the pistol on March 9, 2020, so the wait was 3 1/2 months. The total cost was $485 including the upgrade to the optics ready model, all fees and shipping. That total does not include my local FFL transfer fee of $25.

Love this gun

Although Brownell's was unable to fulfill my order, I did manage to find one from another retailer. I'm 6'5" and have large hands...the Hellcat fits very well as there is a little extension on the bottom of the magazine that lets my little finger grip nicely. So for no issues. I have only shot Hornady Critical Duty 135gr FlexLock ammo, but it shot flawlessly. Highly recommended! I am not putting an optic on mine just yet...they still cost equal to or more than the gun it'self, so I'll wait a while for the prices to come down.
