This is not a review, it's an advertisement.
2 whole magazines without a single malfunction!
Springfield, selling out gun rights for profit.
did the 80s porn music give away the infomercial?
So sick of people closing their eyes to the treason act of Springfield, playing both sides of the fence selling their guns to we the people while donating money to strip we the people of our GODgiven rights.......
I own 4 Springfield xd and xdm..and will unfortunately NEVER buy another from this anti-American, anti-2A .....they are a descrace...and as anyone who supports them are aiding and abetting enemies of We the People
@@ArmedCivilian556 Sir, you are making a great assumption. They are not selling them, they are TRYING to. That's why they've hit the advertisement so hard. They're gonna be like Disney with Cap. Marvel. "We sold this many models (yeah who cares that we paid for 90% of those)
Why is the music on this video so loud? It's hugely distracting when I'm trying to listen to these guys talk.
They're trying to distract you from how hard they're gassing this thing up
@@Loper77 you may not like Springfield, but this is not even close to being a POS.
I'm not a fan of Springfield but I just got this with the optic and holy crap I love it. This tiny thing brings a hell of a lot to the table. It is extremely comfortable to carry and accurate to boot. Not to mention the extra rounds that count for a subcompact
Finally found some real REVIEW of that gun. Thanks guys for trigger pull measurement, fieldstrip etc. Something that obvious - one could think, but out of all 10 vids on Hellcat I saw today, only you guys made a review. Others are just showing (literally) SA website slides, reading them, or just showing a gun as it looks..
Best one but still lacking. I wouldnt call what i saw a full field strip.
My son just bought one with the red dot OSP, and the extended clip. He loves it and recommended it to me. I'm going to buy one next month.
Thank you for the pull weight. No other channel has published the number. My XDS is crazy heavy.
This is going to be my wife's first concealed carry I buy before I deploy with the army so I'm watching tons of reviews. She has hands that are big for a women yet about average or below average for a man and she's worried about it being to small
Just got one today.
How do you like it?
So is it any good?
got mine yesterday
@@isaigarcia394 it’s very good, I’ve owned one for a year now. Hi capacity and still tiny, every button, slide release, safety and mag release is all accessible with my thumb without having to try hard to hit them. Recoil, snappy, but it makes you really learn and practice how to grip the pistol firm and good, making shooting easy and follow ups easy. Sights, I personally like, very easy to bring on target. Small, light, and doesn’t jam into my nuts when I sit down and appendix carry. Cleaning is easy. I would recommend getting talon Pro grip tape, makes the grip and handling 2x better and so worth the purchase. The gun itself, affordable. Now you can get a 15round mag, and the grip is still tiny. I personally don’t like the 11 round one, my hands a good size. So I prefer the 13 and 15 round mags. It’s also accurate, 25yard shots+ is easy.
I have several SA products. I absolutely love the Saint Edge and my 1911s. I will be purchasing the he Hellcat as soon as they are available at my local shop.
try out the 911 its a really nice compact handgun!
I would hold off on purchase. A lot of reviews I see the slide is not locking back on empty mag. You can tell some of them actually cut the video because it was happening so much.
It's just an XDM micro compact. Xdm being known to hold high capacity magazine. And I love it.
So why or how .... is the hellcat different then the XD® 3″ SUB-COMPACT 9MM ?
Buying the Hellcat OSP version. Already have a Glock 23 in the car glove box and a Sig P365 for concealed carry.
I write gun reviews for magazines this is exactly what everyone accuses writers of. This is more an infomercial than a review.
Great gun. Great review. I don’t understand the random load test though, a gun only loads and fires 1 round at a time...
Wow, there goes 14 minutes of my life I'll never get back. That was like watching an infomercial. "Hi Phil Swift here for "Flex Tape." We cut the gun in half and put it back together with "Flex Tape" and it still runs like a top."
People who don't shoot guns shouldn't watch these videos
I'm very impressed. I am very glad that I watched this. Thanks for the information.
That editing on the trigger reset was hilarious.
I paused just to comment on that. This is a trash channel apparently. I'm not watching any more
This is not a "review", this is an infomercial. At least, don't make it too obvious guys.
Thought the same thing.
Paid puppets indirectly bashing the Sig P365.
Relax
At least they measured the trigger pull, fieldstripped the gun etc. Check out other "gun reviewers" on YT - Spirngfield website slides, and some footage of gun.. These guys at least put some info you dont find on SA website.
As I mentioned in another post. If Springfield will come out with a 10 round maximum magazine, they will have a better market. Some, State's, counties, and city's have magazine restrictions. My wife and I recently went on vacation, and the first thing I did, was change out my SIG P365 12 round mags, for my 10 round mags. This is also why I don't have a SIG P365 XL. It comes standard with the 12 round grips. Remember, it's your responsibility to know the gun laws of the areas you are visiting. SEMPER FI.
Don Smith I hate how some states have those laws. They only inconvenience people out of some great choices for pistols
@@lucisgallery1412 yep! That's why I leave my FN 509 TACTICAL at home...LOL
No problem here in Texas
You can put a P365 grip on a P365 XL slide. You'd get the longer barrel, sight radius and lower felt recoil of the XL and still have the ten round shorter grip height of the regular P365.
@@lucisgallery1412 They don't just 'inconvenience' people, they make everyone 'less' safe except for the criminals. The criminals are made more safe by restricting the magazine capacity of the law abiding. Criminals of course do not obey the laws against magazine capacity. This is yet another example of liberal abject stupidity.
Do you recommend any companies laser light combos for these? I know this is an older video but maybe someone will still comment back
Wow it's a shame that Springfield didn't pay you for this test - it could then of sounded like a marketing advertisement rather than the independent full review that it clearly was.
I don't use my loaded chamber indicator. I just look down the barrel with a flashlight
Gaddamn that recoil look extrem 😐 almost broke his wrist at 1:58
😂😂😂 exactly
LMAO
Pull the trigger 5 times on The Judge long barrel 45/410. Better hang on and have your ear-gaurds on! That my friend is recoil.
I have it I'm 4'11" and the recoil is not that bad
For God sake guys are you all metrosexual pussies or what?
Drop a pair for petes sake.
3:40 "you know you're flagging me for no good reason right?"
vandalistica vlogs this comment is a great reason
lol
LMAO 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I'M DEAD BRO !!! THAT WAS CLASSIC GOOD SHIT !!! 👍🏻👍🏻
The background music is twice as loud as it should be. It's distracting.
The Hellcat looks like a worthwhile investment for concealed carry, especially the optics-ready model. It seems satisfyingly accurate, too.
So just curious how many years you guys have been working for Springfield. Thinking I misread the title about a review, then realized it was an infomercial. Set it and forget it boys.
And what's funny is two large men promoting other men to buy a GIRL GUN. Didn't u hear him say men with lager hands.HA HA HA HA HA HA
Claims it has the highest capacity of any compact handgun. Steals sigs design but makes it wider to cram 1 whole extra round compared to the p365. Basically made a glock 26 that costs more than the 365 xl with less features. Still didn’t beat sigs 15 round mag. Super snappy looking gun...
Trent Actually a fair amt of difference given the mirco dimensions of both. The G26 is .4" longer, .1" taller, .1" wider (= 10%), and 1 rd less, while also being 3.4 oz heavier (= 18%). If u are looking for the smallest overall pkg, these all add up! Your choice however.
Rock Star how do the dimensions stack up against a sig 365? I have the xl and I love it.
Similar to the XD mod.2 models without the lemon squeeze safety which I got a custom to for extra safety. I will definitely be getting this to add to my collection.
The only thing i hate about this pistol is no grip safety, carry appendix holster the gun with out grip safety is a risk, most people shot them self from holstering not drawing, thumb over on the slide disengage grip safety and holster
Guns & Ammo is the Viredian Laser a good laser?
Really like the hellcat, but just a bit too small for my taste. If they make a compact or even a sub-compact i’ll buy two but I just can’t with these micro guns. Sig did a wonderful thing by making an XL version of the P365. I’ll wait and see if Springfield does similar with the Hellcat?
That recoil looks like it hurts. Is it small as a 380? Is the recoil worst than a regular size 9mm?
Yes, you change the laws of physics.
The recoil is manageable. It doesn't hurt to shoot, the pistol stays in your hand. I have this pistol and it's fun to shoot. I have shot the P365 and they handle the same on the range. Double stack baby 9's are the newest craze. If you don't like Springfield or Sig, just wait. Your favorite gun company will make one for you.
Duel recoil spring softens the recoil impulse just like Glock but snappy as expected.
So have you shot the springfield hellcat? If so is the recoil softened or is it snappy? I'm confused.
@@stevezatrine7747 my apologies. I haven't shot one yet. It was flipping up(snappy) a lot when it was shot one handed but when the younger guy shot it with both hands he was able to control the recoil real well. When it was bench tested it reminded me of how snappy a Sig P232 is
The double recoil spring should soften up that recoil. I have a glock 19 with a double recoil spring which softens up recoil better than a single recoil spring.
@@LilYeshua One would assume a pistol needs a certain weight of spring to function correctly. Pulling numbers out my ass for illustrative purposes but what difference does it make to felt recoil if you have a single 20 lbs. spring or 2 x 10 lbs. springs? Not trying to say your experience is wrong at all, just how does the physics work here?
@@LilYeshua Excellent link with a sensible answer. Thank you for that, much appreciated. That makes sense now.
Please remove the unnecessary and very loud background music from future reviews. It subtracts from production quality and is distracting to the point of ridiculousness.
Looks like it's jumping out of one guys hand but normal recoil in the other later on....
Sig looks better but I'm a SA fan ask I'll eventually buy. 👌
During the mag insertion at 11:25 it appears the slide dropped on its own from the force of the insertion.
yeah it did my buddy's glock 26 will do that sometimes
Ya and if you're in a stressful self defense situation you're gonna appreciate that.
@@tomzipser6687 reminds me of the old browning A5 from Belgium I got one and when the chamber is open when u put your first shell in it the bolt slams home and picks up the first round automatically then u keep loading the gun
@@tomzipser6687 Perhaps you will. I haven't drawn an opinion one way or the other.
I have a couple glocks that do the same thing I kind of like it
Hellcat boast of 13+1 highest capacity subcompact. What about CZ Rami. 14+1 been out for years!!! Look it up, CZ quality is right up there...
Thanks
I'm curious as to why the 2+ years of development to put out what? A run of the mill striker with a red dot mount???
Just wait til walther makes a 12 round sub compact, but this springfield looks more reliable than sig 365xl
BoomShakaLaka let 12 round subcompact wars begin. Next up, Glock will make a 12 round subcompact, in .22 LR.
Seems very snappy.
Of course it's going to be snappy. It's a small gun. The lighter the gun, the snappier it is for a given caliber.
Mike G definitely agree with that but it’s a 9 and my p365 is not snappy at all.
Try a 22lr if a 9 is too much.
beckk nun ya thanks bro I’ll try it out!
I took the bait/hype too many times with these sub compacts.
Looks like a gun I might want buy.
Not that you expect a sub compact to, but that gun does not shoot flat. Sig shoot smoother and flatter than that gun
I’ve been watching videos of both the Hellcat and the Sig 365. It appears that the Hellcat might be a little more snappy. I’ve been watching two things that seem to indicate this might be the case. First, the shock wave that appears to be traveling through the shooters hand and up their arm, most apparent in reviews where slow motion video is used. Second the deflection of the wrist out of parallel from the horizontal.
What I don’t understand is why this would be. Both guns weigh the same and they are testing using the same ammo. Is it a function of the angle of the grip vs slide? Is it a function of the slide range of motion? Is it the spring rate? Or when it’s all said and done.... is it just my imagination? I’m not a “fanboy” of any brand. I’ve read and re read the issues some folks have with Springfield Armory and the accusations that they financially supported anti gun legislation. I personally don’t believe Springfield management has shown nothing but support for the 2nd amendment and if we look at there line of weapons.... they are heavily invested in manufacturing the guns that are targeted the most those who want guns taken away from law abiding citizens and make those folks criminals.
I've held one, didn't get to shoot it. I've never felt a pistol like it. Felt like an extension of my arm, the grip, tbe sight, weight- idk, it just felt right. I do wonder if you ever found out your answer, cheers.
A conspicuous lack of casings being held up to show extent of striker drag on all utube Hellcat reviews so far. Views vary on how important that is, some do care a lot.
You probably already know this by now, but the hellcat doesn't really have striker drag. Its striker "pin" is thick and bladed. It just looks like striker drag.
Just bought one
Designed the gun around the mag huh that sounds familiar
* cough “sig” cough*
@jcllings if it was any other company, beside these traitorous cunts you would have a point.
Sig is trash
jcllings shoots better than any American arm I’ve shot
@@brandonmiller5394 You must work for SA.....
@@brandonmiller5394 Why do you say that? Because they are made in America? At least they are not selling out like Springfield Armory and Rock River Arms did. I have a few Sigs as well as Glocks and Smith's. I don't consider anyone of those guns trash. I have over 2000 rounds through my P365 without a hick up. My guess is that you don't even own a Sig.
Great review !Does a trijicon rmr fit in that slide cut out ?
i have i first time at range with this loved it ez grip no problem
$569? I don't think so. This pistol is competing with the Shield, G43, and some could argue it competes with some of the smaller double stack pistols. This is a fairly high price point to be in competition with them.
Whete are you getting your information? It is very competitive with the Shield and Sig 365.
@ 11:26, anyone else notice the slide slammed forward when he punched in another clip ? Not good.
Please they are magazines not clips.
Clips are for loafing Garrands, SkS's, bolt action Springfield Rifles, and German or Swedish Mausers already. Gun people should know the difference.
When will it be available to purchase?
Infomercial or review?
I’m excited to test shoot this
Is the Hellcat a modular design??
So the xdm osp can come with a red dot, why not with this?
Thank you !
90°. He meant to say the trigger breaks at 90°, not 45°. That would be ugly.
I like a grip safety for aiwb, wish they left it or had an option.
Los mejores expertos en armas de defensa personal congratulaciones
Size comparison to the Sig 365
Only one night sight? Lol, what is a regular rear sight and a front night sight going to accomplish exactly?
When does Springfield is going to release it?
My local shop says they are available for order now.
@@MrYogi12Bear thanks alot, mate! hopefully, they have the red linings along with the optic like the one on the picture. i would get it if they sell it for $1,000 Dollars.
Will a Vortex Venom fit the OSP?
I know absolutely nothing about guns this will be my first gun purchase so I wanna know everything about it before I get it
Huge WIN 🇺🇸🙏❤️
Yes for GIRS. Not a gun for a man .HA HA HA HA HA
What red dot is that?
Will the holosun 507 fit it?
When?
so happy they didn't put a grip safety on this
Never bothered me tbh
The grips safety doesn't do crap to the firearms, all it does is prevent you from shot yourself from holster, the little dingest on the trigger is really stupid because is doesn't prevent anything, examples glock have the same trigger dingest and plenty accidentally shot them self when thing get stuck on the trigger, is come to the point only idiots and stupid people do not see the benefit from grip safety, thumb over the slide holster prevent accidentally discharge even trigger got hang up with shirt or any material, you don't have to believe anything i said use you head and do research, the only to fear the most are stupid peoples, gather up a few and use them you can change laws
Do the optics turn on automatically or is there a switch??
yes they turn on automatically
Did you notice any striker drag/smearing on the primers of ejected shells?
Is the striker a cheap mim part or made from stainless?
And is this gun made by HS in Croatia?
10:43 shows it is
This gun is from HS
No it's not striker drag. The striker pin is shaped differently.
Thumbs down for the music
its very nice. they should make a .25 cal hellcat..
@3:32 did he just rack a racked slide?
What's a good price for this pistol with the OSP sight ?
will run about $625
GLOCK 26 GEN 5 :
One round or 500 or a thousand - G26 G5 IS RELIABLE !
Only run 200 max and don't use it as both a CCW and a range gun !
A CCW IS A CCW - NOT A CCW AND A RANGE GUN ! ! !
The G26 Gen5 is a true CCW as it has a great +P Barrel ! ! !
And carry 2 G19 Spare mags making a grand total of 11 0r 11 + 1 & 15 + 15 equalling 40 or 41 rounds for every day carry !
Best CCW ammo in world history is 124gr 9mm GDHP +P but standard pressure is overly good enough too .
ALL FACTS !
With a striker fired pistol and not a hammer striker fired pistol , just be sure that you know all there is to know about the mechanics of the handgun !
GLOCKS ARE REALLY SAFE TO CARRY CHAMBERED ! ! !
G26 Gen5 is most likely my new CCW ! ! !
HS Produkt Hellcat,Made in Croatia
Most places this will be available 10/04/2019.
I just bought it today and it is 3/31/21. I love it. I finally broke down and got rid of my 10 mm and my 40 mm. It just got to be a pain in the ass trying to find the ammo for both of them became irritating and more expensive. I started getting 9 mm now. I also bought a Sig Sauer P365 XL. It's just a tad larger than the Hellcat in width and length not by much though. Both are put together like a drum, theyre perfect. Very good machining. My mother passed away in August and I got her 1976 Bicentennial special model Ruger 357 Magnum nickel-plated with fantastic wooden grips. it's beautiful. my grandfather bought it and gave it to her when I was born because she was a single mom and we did not live in that great of an area because we were poor she's had it ever since and handed it down to me :-) anywho sorry about that blabbing. I'm so used to Glocks and throwing them around and them not being tight and well machined but extremely durable and reliable. it's a change and I hope I like it. Now I'm going to have to take better care of my guns LOL
Cashmain helps me with my first handgun thanks man
So why or how .... is the hellcat different then the XD® 3″ SUB-COMPACT 9MM ?
The sub compact is a thicc heavy gun compared to the hellcat
@@jacobianmail Thanks got it .... 16 +1 (9mm Luger) vs 13 +1 (9mm Luger) www.handgunhero.com/compare/springfield-xd-sub-compact-3-vs-springfield-hellcat-micro-compact
Just bought one!
Same!! Today
For me the springfield hellcat pistol would be far too snappy !
I WILL STICK TO 9mm COMPACT DUTY PISTOLS :
1 . Glock 26 Gen 5 ( Not other generations ! )
2 . Beretta PX4 Storm Compact or Compact Carry 9mm
Ammunition : 124gr 9mm GDHP +P or Standard Pressure
FOR ABSOLUTE DEEP CONCEALMENT COVERT :
Kahr P380 with 90gr .380 GDHP
and for workable covert 9mm carry : KAHR PM9
JAH BLESS ...
Too snappy???, all 9mm micro's will be alittle snappy due to their size and weight. Man up junior, try shooting a 3" 45 ACP at 23 ounces, now that has some recoil or a J frame S&W .357 magnum.
FYI Speer Gold Dots are jamomatics in Kahr P380....simply don't chamber period. Crtical duty do seem to run in a P380's.
Better group with Gold Dot but you took much longer time to aim when you shot the Gold Dot.
Must have been drunk when holding it on the table and it doest help
Wondering what The Warrior Poet Society guy would say about this moment 3:40
Who out there can fit 14 rounds in the 13 rounder? I can.. makes me think my magazine is weak. I did have one failure to feed out of 150 rounds. Btw my brother cant fit 14 in his 13 rounder. So... I did it by accident. And I've done it several times after that.
I dont know if I'm watching an infomercial or am I supposed to get jiggy with it & break out the "FUNKY CHICKEN" moves on to the dance floor with this music (what gives?) . . 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Looks similar to a glock 26 or 43 still nice
45°angle?....
G&A has always been “kind” to advertisers. In the past, we have been generally forgiving, because we all understand how the bread gets buttered, and we have wanted to see the guns. Good Lord, though, this is just a stinkin’ infomercial! Why pretend that you’re “evaluating” the gun? With an Internet full of genuinely objective gun reviews, why make fools of yourselves? Just say, “here’s the good news. Here’s the pitch,” and have done with it? This was hard to watch.
Kit badger ran his in a vid
I agree, they looked like Springfield employees making an infomercial, not reviewing or evaluating at all.
You should add to the description of the ammo used. Itll be a lot easier doing the research instead of going back through the video and rewatching the ammo segment
No mention of the no grip safety
Probably Glock style with three internal safeties.
www.springfield-armory.com/
You guys make good vids !
Eric...you need to concentrate on your front sight!
Springfield Armory is going to get a letter from Mopar's lawyers ;)
😂
....and Guncrafters.
The jump 1:55 on this thing 😂
This gun is already old news. The new Canik TP9 Elite SC is over $100 cheaper, holds more ammo, and is nearly the same size as the hellcat. Springfield, you just got beat!
They clearly paid you guys to advertise, not review.
You can tell the younger guy is reading from a prompter, at least the older guy memorized his lines.
Looks like a bad ass little rig. This isn't a "full review" though. This is a paid advertisement. Also, why is the fucking music so loud?
I am going to get an Helcat
He is on wickr app
Reset is way too long
Bout time Springfield broke from the dumb grip safety.
Sorry but people who think grip safety is dumb actually are the dumb one
It’s actually preventing me from buying it. I’ll stick to my xds for now
