Springfield Armory Debuts Hellcat OSP in .380 ACP

The .380 variant prioritizes softer recoil to improve control for some shooters.

Overview

  • The new model retains the Hellcat’s external dimensions with confirmed compatibility for existing 9mm Hellcat holsters.
  • Factory specs include a 3-inch hammer-forged barrel, an optics-ready billet-machined slide, Tritium U-Dot sights, and a dual captive recoil spring.
  • Capacity is 11+1 with the flush-fit magazine and 13+1 with the extended magazine, with weight about 16 ounces depending on the mag installed.
  • MSRP is listed at $653 without an optic.
  • Early reviews report minimal concealment advantage over the 9mm Hellcat but clearly softer recoil, and they stress careful ammunition selection for short-barreled .380 pistols.
