Springfield Sports South Two-tone Hellcat pistols
Springfield Armory partnered with Sports South for an exclusive two-toned Hellcat and Hellcat OSP (or Optical Sight Pistol). The two unique Hellcats were specifically designed to be distributed through Sports South’s distributor network.

The Springfield Hellcat and Hellcat OSP (which stands for “Optical Sight Pistol”) have proven themselves to be class-leading concealed carry options. The 3″ barreled micro-compact pistols feature an impressive capacity of 11+1 with their patented magazine and 13+1 with the included extended mag. Both pistol options ship with one 11-round magazine with pinky extension and optional flush-fitting floorplate as well as the 13-round extended magazine.

The unique top slide serrations of the Springfield Hellcat maximize your grip on the slide. While the rear slide cuts on the Hellcat OSP version accept a micro red dot for lightning-fast engagement and unparalleled situational awareness. Both variants of the Hellcat pistol have tritium luminescent front sights with a tactical rack u-notch rear sight.

In addition, the Hellcat OSP version features a removable cover plate that allows direct mounting of a micro red dot in the Springfield Micro footprint for the lowest possible profile. This allows for co-witnessing with the pistol’s U-Dot sight system, made of high visibility tritium and luminescent front sight paired with a tactical rack U-notch rear. The U-Dot sights are offered on both the OSP and standard model.

“These Sports South-exclusive Hellcats in stainless steel take everything that made the original Hellcat great and add an eye-catching two-tone look,” says Phil Rawlings, Vice President of Sales and LE for Springfield Armory. “These Hellcat and Hellcat OSP pistols from Sports South make a great option for CCW and self-defense.”

The stainless steel finish on both Springfield Hellcats gives the distributor-exclusive offering a unique style and flair for this excellent micro 9mm. With both Hellcat variants boasting 3” hammer forged barrels with a 1:10 twist, these Hellcats deserve a look as an EDC option.

Combining exceptional style with the proven performance of these micro 9mm pistols, the Sports South-exclusive Stainless Hellcats definitely deserve a close look for your EDC. MSRP of the standard model is $614, and the OSP model is priced at $649.
