Congrats on the purchase Kandy, enjoy it. Most carry at least a 9mm that has greater reliability and stopping power that a 22lr. A 22lr can stop a threat, but you may need to fire it more than a 9mm and location of hits is of greater importance.

If you love what you shoot you will most likely have it with you. Two well placed rounds with a 22LR will stop most threats. May not knock them off their feet, but it will stop them.

I always think what you carry on you is better than what you left at the house. If the rim fired 22lr makes you feel comfortable, then do it. I had a LCP II 22lr and experienced some difficulty with what ammo it preferred. Go through several different kinds of ammo before making that decision to EDC that LCPII 22lr. Best of luck.

I am new to red dots, and recently received my SMSc for my Hellcat. When mounting it, it seems to not seat fully and can see some light under the front edge part of the sight. My question do you have to kinda push down hard on the sight to get it to seat flush, like I think it should? It appears that the battery is flush with the base of the sight. Thanks.

Total Newbie ... First personal handgun since getting out of the Army many years ago: Hellcat OSP. What a beautiful pistol! My problem is that arthritis is making loading magazines rather difficult. Are there any good, Hellcat-specific loaders out there you'd recommend? Thanks!

New to Springfield XD. 4 days ago I purchased a new Springfield XD9 9mm with dark green lower. Now I am in the waiting period. I went to my LGS in California and this was the only XD they had. I already have a Sig P226 that I bought a long time ago. Both of my guns are for home defense and range shooting. The only thing I want to change right out of the box would be to add some night sights.

Question. I own the XDM-Elite 4.5 OSP. The OSP plates to install red dot never cam with the gun. Does anyone know if thse 3 plates come with it? I have read that it does but wanted to reach out.
Thanks

You should have received a card with instructions to call Springfield for a single plate but if you mention the ads indicate all three they will send you the three at no charge. I hope this helps and congratulations.

While waiting for my Shield RMSc to be delivered, I bought the screws from Springfield just to be safe. They arrived in a few days. The install was easy with a little drop of blue Loctite on each screw and the optic is on firmly with no looseness after about 800 rounds. Torque to the 15.49 psi Shield recommends and you're good to go. You may have to cut the screws supplied with the Shield optic if you use them.

I used the screws included with the smsc. Remember not to over-tighten and check for pistol function (unloaded) after install. Make sure the slide moves freely and trigger functions as before. As Locknload said you can get a set from Springfield for $5 too.
Screws should be
M4 x .07 x 7.5mm

Thanks OkiePewPew! Glad to hear you got the right screws. I read so many posts on the forum about having to cut the Shield supplied screws that I bought the Springfield screws to avoid that. For $5, it was worth it to me for peace of mind.

Brand new to this forum, but not to Springfield Armory. Own a rifle (SOCOM 16) and a pistol 1911 in .45 acp. Love them both. Thank you for accepting me to your forum.
