MAIN Hellcat Pro Manual Safety Pr 1 (1)

The Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro 9mm pistol is now available with a frame-mounted ambidextrous manual safety. It is chambered in 9mm, offering 15+1 capacity in a smaller footprint than any other gun in its class. The addition of this low-profile yet easily engageable ambidextrous safety further enhances its capabilities.

At just 1-inch wide, the slim-line grip of the pistol feels superb in the hand, while additional mass in the slide and barrel translates into reduced muzzle flip and faster follow-up shots. The lightweight polymer frame features our Adaptive Grip Texture, a seamless, pressure-activated pattern featuring a pattern of staggered pyramid shapes. Additionally, the location the ambidextrous manual safety at the rear of the frame it intuitive for both left- and right-handed users.

Developed with the use of red-dot optics in mind, the Hellcat Pro features an OSP (Optical Sight Pistol) configuration. The slide is milled with the Springfield Micro footprint, designed to direct mount the smallest micro red dots on the market for the lowest mount possible. Backing up your choice of optic is an excellent set of co-witness-able U-Dot sights—a tritium & luminescent front sight paired with a Tactical Rack rear sight.

“The Hellcat Pro delivers full-size performance in a concealable, EDC-ready package with unmatched ergonomics,” says Steve Kramer, Springfield Armory’s vice president of Marketing. “And for those who prefer a manual safety on their carry pistol, this newest variant gives them everything they could want in a CCW pistol.”
