Winner of multiple 2020 "Handgun of the Year" awards from well-known firearms organizations like the NRA and the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) and boasting a 20,000-round durability count, the Springfield Hellcat redefined the standards for what a conceal carry pistol should bring to the table. The Hellcat Rapid Defense Package (RDP) pushes the performance of the Hellcat line even further with a host of upgrades. The pistol features Springfield's self-indexing compensator that allows for easy installation and removal and helps to tame the muzzle climb and recoil that is common among smaller subcompact pistols. The RDP also comes optics-ready out of the box with an RMS/SMS footprint that can accommodate any matching optic or Springfield's Wasp-series micro red dots. The Hellcat has been updated to feature Springfield's Generation 2 trigger that has been recontoured for improved ergonomics. This model is a low capacity variant that ships with two 10-round magazines for states with magazine capacity restrictions.
