The Springfield Hellcat 3" OSP delivers exceptional concealed carry performance in California's most restrictive market. This micro-compact pistol combines a 3-inch barrel with the Optical Sight Platform for enhanced accuracy without sacrificing concealability.
What Makes This Different
The Hellcat OSP features Springfield's U-Dot tritium night sights co-witnessing with the optics-ready slide cut, accepting Shield RMSc footprint red dots. The proprietary Adaptive Grip Texture provides secure handling in all conditions while maintaining a slim 1-inch width profile. California compliance includes a 10-round flush-fit magazine and loaded chamber indicator.

Field testing demonstrates consistent 2.5-inch groups at 15 yards with premium defensive ammunition. The trigger system breaks cleanly at approximately 5.5 pounds with minimal overtravel. Weather sealing protects internal components during extended outdoor exposure, while the Melonite-treated slide resists salt spray and humidity common in coastal environments.
