    Hellcat - new owner questions

    Shooting low/left, assuming you're right handed, is typically a symptom of squeezing your fingers while you pull the trigger. Make sure that your grip has consistent pressure throughout the entire trigger pull. You want to squeeze the trigger finger but not your entire hand, which has the...

    Hellcat Rear Sight Conversion

    There are others on the forum more knowledgeable on the subject than I am but I believe the OSP has a "special" rear dovetail that nobody else makes a sight to fit. Before you go through a lot of trouble trying to fit something custom to the pistol you might want to do what I did and paint the...

    HEX Optics: A High-Tech Swarm

    I know how you feel - I just bought an RMSc a couple weeks ago. Fortunately I can still return it so I'm looking forward to seeing some wasp reviews.

    Trigger options for Hellcat

    I'll weigh in on the Apex trigger since I recently installed one specifically because of the "lock up" issue with the factory trigger. Let me be very clear about this: The Apex trigger can lock up just like the factory trigger. If you pull the Apex trigger body to the rear until it stops the...

    Problem seating RMSc on Hellcat OSP

    I tried that but no go. I tried every cant option there is and no luck. I returned the sight and I'm waiting for the replacement to arrive. Hopefully I'll have better luck with the 2nd one.

    Why I Was Wrong About Red Dots…

    I have other handguns with red dots that allow a full view of the irons and I have no trouble distinguishing both. I won't accept obstructed irons just to get a red dot. Parts fail and electronics fail first, and if the sight fails in an emergency I want a clearly visible set of irons to fall...

    Why I Was Wrong About Red Dots…

    The Swampfox Sentinel will not cowitness with the OEM sights on the OSP. I know this from personal experience. It will obstruct about the bottom 2/3rds of the sights. They're still usable but not easily.

    Problem seating RMSc on Hellcat OSP

    Hi All, Has anyone who's tried the Shield RMSc run into this issue? The sight won't sit flush on the recoil lugs on my Hellcat OSP. I've tried a Swampfox in the past and it fit just fine, but this RMSc won't. This picture shows the best I could manage. This is without the screws, it's...

    NEOMAG: EASILY CARRY YOUR SPARE MAGS

    I agree with the recommendation about it being the only thing in your pocket. I have one and will regularly knock the magazine loose when reaching for my keys, which gets annoying. Half the time I don't use it because of that reason.

    Trijicon RMRcc Review: Best Non-OSP Red Dot Sight?

    Valid concerns all around. There's always the option of using an optic that can serve as the rear iron. Several, like the holosuns, have a sight channel in the housing, which isn't quite the same but it's better than nothing.

    Trijicon RMRcc Review: Best Non-OSP Red Dot Sight?

    For a carry gun I would never go without irons. That option replaces the rear sight and completely obscures the front. I don't care if it is a Trijicon, I'm never running a carry pistol with only an optic. Parts fail, and electronics fail first, and when/if my optic fails I want irons there as...

    Springfield Hellcat Review: Best CCW 9mm Ever

    I think he means the non-OSP version. You'd most likely need to have the slide milled to fit the optic you want. I'm not aware of any adapter plates that would let you use the rear dovetail.

    Top 5 Hellcat Red Dot Optics

    Not really. I have another red dot on a different pistol and it's usable. It has a 3 moa dot, but it looks more like a jagged - to me than a circle. I'm just concerned about the 507K because of the reticle choice. I don't know how bad the large circle will look, and if I turn that off I'm...

    Top 5 Hellcat Red Dot Optics

    I went from the Swampfox to nothing at the moment. The 507K is currently my first choice but I have somewhat of an astigmatism that makes red dots a bit blurry. The 407K has a 6 moa dot which is bigger than I want. The 507K has a 2 moa dot which I'm concerned will be a bit too small for me...

    Top 5 Hellcat Red Dot Optics

    Agreed, typically having a slide milled to accept a dot means a flat surface. As long as the screws are solid I would think the Holosuns will be fine. Please see my post above about the Swampfox. I had one and it seemed like a solid optic (I mounted but never fired it), but it will block most...

    Top 5 Hellcat Red Dot Optics

    My understanding is that they're additional points of contact that the optic can use to mitigate the effects of recoil on the mounting screws. If the optic is made to sit properly on those lugs it'll take stress off the screws, in theory reducing the chance of a screw breaking under recoil and...

    Hellcat grip is shredding my shirts

    I'm having the same issue - love the hellcat's texture in the hand but it's very hard on the side when carried. I've been thinking about putting some rubber talon grips on to cover it up.

    Hellcat OSP Optic choices

    I'm sticking with irons for now. If the sentinel had a gap at the back like the shields do it would have been perfect. I like the looks of the holosuns but I don't want to modify the slide yet and I'm still waiting for a picture to see what the 507k looks like when mounted with an adapter plate.
