Springfield Hellcat
A micro-compact that entered the market to compete with the P365, and did it with more rounds in a smaller frame. Eleven rounds at pocket size, and a glowing front sight with a ring that's considered one of the easiest on the market to pick up fast.
What's good about it
- 11 rounds in one of the smallest frames on the market
- Excellent glowing front sight for fast pickup
- Aggressive grip texture that stays put even in a sweaty hand
What's less good
- Sharp recoil — small, light frame
- Short grip, the pinky hangs off without an extension
- Less accessory availability in Israel
