Springfield Armory is coming out with a new concealed weapon called Hellcat. The capacity you might ask? Well, 11-round and 13-round extended. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/dd_dev/original/2X/9/981505b613c46ee46a990d256b25cc8d78dfd731.jpeg) ---

Looks to me like trying to take a chunk of the Sig 365 market, and beating it by 1 round. I am interested, as I have been looking at the 365XL. ---

Hmm, how come I suspect a certain gun company may not like SA stealing the name of their gun… Names aside, I think I would go for the Sig P365 or P365XL. ---

@Fred_G I suspect the name Hellcat is not trade marked. I would hope that their legal department would have done a search… 😃 ---

Could be! Would still be cheesy of SA to take someone’s gun name. ---

HS Produkt builds a fine gun… but I have been ignoring Springfield Armory ever since SB 1657. Have to see some details on this gun to determine if they have suffered enough. I don’t see the grip safety that almost all the XD line had (I don’t think the XDe had a grip safety), is this going to be a seperate line? ---

I don’t see grip safety on this gun. Here is the link to the new product: > **[Hellcat® Micro-Compact Handguns - Springfield Armory](https://www.springfield-armory.com/hellcat-series-handguns/hellcat-3-micro-compact-handguns)** ---

Looks to be another good firearm. However for “Hellcat” name I’ll stay with this: ![Screenshot_20190925-164354](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/dd_dev/original/2X/f/ffd7eae1c426da16dd4199c49b638eb303a480e6.jpeg) ---

Is it me or does it feel like the major gun manufacturers are trying to outdo each other to control the concealed weapon market? ---

Of course! That’s what business is. Theoretically, the competition spurs them all on to better products and pricing. ---

There is also a Hellcat in Marvel Comics… I couldn’t find a picture that wasn’t incredibly anatomically correct to share. 😒 🤦‍♀️ ---

I was thinking more in the line of the 700+ hp Dodge Hellcat ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/dd_dev/original/2X/8/86498896365dca98260ec6352f46af4460edb340.jpeg) ---

Hmmmmmm a Hellcat? Would it be a bad thing to consider along with a Hellephant to go into my 1977 Ranchero? Or I might just stick with a 408 Stroker considering I used to shoot a 408. I may have to play with one. Cheers, Craig6 ---

I have an issue with Springfield Armory after their stance on the second amendment. But, they do make decent firearms. ---
