    Hellcat OSP Optic choices

    The 32 MOA circle option on the 507K comes in very handy when paired with a laser bore sight to "pre-zero." Provided you trust your LBS (I had no reason not to -- it positioned snuggly in the chamber), you can easily adjust the circle to get the laser dot in the center of the circle. Then...

    Hellcat OSP Optic choices

    Had mine tightened to Holosuns specs (15 lbs.). I used the one pair of screws (it comes with two pairs, thinner and thicker - Hellcat takes the thicker ones). Blue Loctite applied as well. The backorder was placed before they became more available per the online stores recommendation. Glad I...

    Personal preference I suspect. I went with grinding index lugs/flush mount because I saw some posts out there that even flush, you only retain about 50% of the iron sights as usable (I can confirm this with mine). If you don't mind the "lowitness" configuration, the plate is an easier way to go.

    Springfield Hellcat Review: Best CCW 9mm Ever

    Speaking of the OSP and milling...has anyone out here actually ground down the index posts on the OSP model to allow for a non-RMSc sight like the Holosun? I have a 507K coming this weekend and want to now how much real effort and skill it took. I'd be using a Cordless Dremel with an Aluminum...

    Top 5 Hellcat Red Dot Optics

    Two things...I was advised to pre-order as they fulfill those as soon as a shipment comes in first. Also try the coupon code TY10 - it worked for me for 10% off that gets you to 260. The Sentinel seems like a good, nicely priced sight. I decided against it because of how much it apparently...

    Ordered a 507K yesterday ($260 and free ship). Fingers crossed it arrives before Christmas. Now to filing down those posts.

    Hellcat OSP Optic choices

    Took the plunge and backordered a 507K ($260 w/free ship). I have not heard back from Springfield on my questions yet so we'll see what they have to say.

    Hellcat OSP Optic choices

    You posted this on another thread on Aug 14: I just spoke with Holosun and Springfield on the modification to the Hellcat. Springfield says that as long as the modification doesn't effect the operation of the pistol it does not invalidate the warranty. They did not know what modification was...

    I seem to recall reading somewhere that someone asked Springfield this question and they indicated the warranty would remain intact (but probably not a bad idea to get it somewhere in writing and post here).

    I'm going to be at the range on Monday. Maybe I'll get a chance to see one in action and report back.

    Makes sense. I have vision correction as well. So your concern extends to ANY optic right?

    Top 5 Hellcat Red Dot Optics

    So you went from the Swampfox to the 507K? Mine is the OSP -- don't want the irons blocked so I can co-witness. But you say "seemed like a solid optic,"...what changed your opinion? BTW - response from Swampfox says that the screws do "95% of the work holding an optic in place." I am becoming...

    Top 5 Hellcat Red Dot Optics

    If the front and rear sides of the 507K fit precisely/snuggly in the OSP cutout (no extra space at front or rear - see photo), then shouldn't that provide more than adequate front to back recoil stabilization and make the recoil posts unnecessary? Another point that suggests that is the...

    Do you think a basic rechargeable (no cord) Dremel has enough power to get it done?
