The Springfield Armory Hellcat OSP delivers exceptional firepower in a micro-compact frame, offering 11+1 capacity in 9mm with optics-ready capability. This Flat Dark Earth variant combines tactical aesthetics with proven Springfield engineering for concealed carry applications.
What Makes This Different
The Hellcat OSP features Springfield's patented magazine design that maximizes capacity without increasing grip size, achieving 11+1 rounds in a frame smaller than most 10-round competitors. The OSP (Optical Sight Pistol) slide comes factory-milled for Shield RMSc footprint optics with included cover plate. The Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard finishes while maintaining a professional appearance.
