Sorry...I didn't read it correctly. EvilElmo, you are correct! It might be cheaper to sell the standard Helcat and get an OSP.

Not very difficult. I did have some difficulty getting the screw out that was holding the optics plate to the Hellcat (Where the red dot mounts), so I took it over to my friendly Master Gunsmith and he had it done, and the red dot mounted, in about three minutes.

I checked the Shield and J Point...ended up buying a Riton Optics X3 Tactix MPRD Micro Red Dot. It fits the Hellcat perfectly without any overlap. The MOA is 3 and it doesn't "quite" co-witness with the iron sights. By that I mean that I can see the top half of the front sight against the rear...

TiTaN...you might want to review the thread. I've learned a lot from the comments and received good advicefrom the participants. I ended up buying a Riton X3 MPRD Tactix. It was a little cheaper than the Shield and Swampfox...I paid $199 for the manual with a 3 MOA. I have it at my local...

Shot my Hellcat for the first time today. It handled well and I used the iron sights as my Riton wasn't zeroed correctly. Having my gunsmith replace the crummy red fiber optic front sight with a proper front night sight and have him zero in the red dot. I'm going to have him smooth the trigger...

Roach...you might check for one of my earlier comments (page 10). I had a stuck screw holding the OSP plate in place and had to take it to a gunsmith. After he removed the stuck screw he asked if I'd like him to mount the optic...of course, I said yes. He immediately found that the included...

Guy...the gunsmith had to use a socket bit screwdriver to get that screw out also. The small allen that was included with the optic, as you pointed out, didn't have enough torque.

I'm glad that Allen Moore was able to handle the glitch. I hope that Riton takes the steps necessary to include the applicable screws.

barjohn...after some great advice from Guy Mancuso and you, I decided to purchase a Riton X3 MPRD Tactix. In talking directly with them, it's footprint was advertised as exactly fitting the Shield footprint on my Hellcat. The MOA is 3, a little smaller than I would prefer, but doable/useable...

Yeah...way back I bought a bunch and the prices have increased out of sight. Fortunately, I have enough 9 mms (for now).😁

barjohn...talked with Jason at Rainier Arms a few minutes ago. It appears that the Riton Optics X3 Tactix MPRD Micro Red Dot is essentially the same as the Swampfox Sentinel-M, just a little less expensive. It does have an automatic shutoff after 12 hours, which would work for me, as I could...

That's what I was thinking. I'll talk with them tomorrow, rather than exchange emails. Their "no questions, lifetime warranty" ( if true), says something about the projected quality of their product.

barjohn...I just checked out the Ranier Arms site and it looks interesting. (They say they are veteran and LEO owned, which gives them a leg up.) I left a message asking if they also had an automatic model in addition to their manual model. If their model fits the Hellcat OSP, as they say, it...

OK...thanks, I'll take a look. BTW...those holsters on DeSantis and New Pacific looked interesting. I couldn't find an IWB at New Pacifc but the DeSantis non-standard looked good but out-of-stock. Heading over to Ranier Arms.

The Crossbreed does poke me in the gut a little, depending on how I seat it on my belt...maybe I have too much of it (gut) that is. My wife complains it prints to much for her, so I may take a look at your suggestions, barjohn. Any further recommendations will be appreciated. I'm still waiting...
