Springfield Armory’s New Hellcat Pistol: In-Depth Review

XDMAN knows Springfield Armory guns inside-out…so what’s his call on the Hellcat?

The often-imitated, never-duplicated XDMAN reviews Springfield’s biggest new launch in years, the Springfield Hellcat.

Recently, Springfield Armory released the Hellcat, which currently stands as the highest-capacity micro-compact semi-automatic handgun in production. The gun was released so recently, in fact, that it may not seem like our reviewer could have had time to do a thorough review…but this is XDMAN we’re talking about here, and he was able to wangle an early production model before the release. With an astonishing 11+1 9mm capacity packed into a gun barely 6 inches wide, 4 inches high and 1 inch thick, is the Hellcat set to be your new favorite CCW pistol?

Who is XDMAN? Well, you might recognize him from such After Dark specials as “Raiders of the Lost Rifle” and “Raiders of the Lost Rifle, the Climax.” (And if you read that last sentence like Troy McClure from “The Simpsons,” then my work here is done.) Although our After Dark series is definitely satire, XDMAN is not only a real person, he’s one of the country’s foremost experts on all things Springfield Armory. What many people don’t know is that he’s also a gifted artist who creates custom-painted guns that will set you apart from the crowd.

Right now, Guns & Gadgets Daily is giving away not one, not two, but three custom-painted rifles courtesy of XDMAN! The first two are the prizes in our Molon Labe Giveaway (which we created just for Beto O’Rourke). Here’s what they look like:

Come. And. Get. Them.

We’re also giving away a Diamondback AR-15 rifle chambered in .223 as part of our After Dark Giveaway, with a custom paint job to the winner’s specifications by XDMAN. It can be whatever you wish–within reason, of course–no matter how quirky or like a hallucination in a tiki bar your dream design is.

You can’t have this one, though. This one belongs to Lubricia Cosmoline.
