The Springfield Armory Hellcat OSP .380 ACP brings the micro-compact Hellcat series into a role-ready defensive package that balances concealability, shootability and accessory flexibility; with a 3" hammer-forged Melonite steel barrel, optics-ready billet machined slide and striker-fire action, this pistol delivers reliable function and direct-mount micro red dot compatibility for instinctive aiming in close quarters.

The dual captive recoil spring with full-length guide rod smooths recoil impulse, helping shooters manage follow-up shots with a softer .380 recoil pulse, and rugged construction makes it a dependable carry handgun for self-defense, duty backup or off-duty carryFFL transfer required.
