The Hellcat is a micro-size, striker-fired 9mm built for high capacity in a minimal footprint, originally marketed as a 13+1 micro-compact. This pistol is the standard non-OSP configuration with no optics cut, preserving the clean factory slide profile.
Its 3" hammer-forged steel barrel uses a 1:10 twist and a Melonite finish for surface hardening. A dual captive recoil spring with a full-length guide rod manages recoil and slide movement. The slide is billet-machined steel with Desert FDE Cerakote and features front, rear, and top serrations for confident manipulation.
The FDE polymer frame uses Springfield Armory’s Adaptive Grip Texture for traction without abrasion. A single-slot accessory rail is molded into the dust cover for mounting a compatible light or accessory.
Factory U-Dot sights consist of a tritium/luminescent front dot with a yellow ring and a Tactical Rack U-notch rear, providing a bold, daylight-visible sight picture with a tritium reference for low light.
Safety and controls are straightforward, with a striker-fired action and a trigger safety featuring an integral safety blade. The pistol bears HS PRODUKT • MADE IN CROATIA markings, and the discontinued Desert FDE variant (HC9319F) adds distinctive appeal for buyers who prefer this colorway.
