NEW Springfield Hellcat 380 Review: Should You Bother?

The Springfield Armory Hellcat is now available in .380 ACP, but why would you choose it over the original 9mm? In this review, we cover everything you need to know about the new Hellcat 380. We dive deep into the specs, comparing its size and weight directly to the 9mm version, and find that it offers almost no concealability advantage. So, what's the point?

The answer is shootability. If you're recoil sensitive, or if you simply shoot the softer-recoiling .380 cartridge faster and more accurately, this gun makes a lot of sense. We put it to the test and compare its performance to the Sig P365, with some surprising results. It may not be for everyone, but it is an excellent pistol.

We also discuss the vital importance of ammo selection when it comes to short-barreled .380s and what loads you should research to ensure minimum performance standards.

What's Covered:

• Full Specs and Features
• Direct comparison of the Hellcat .380 vs 9mm
• Why the minimal weight savings matter (or don't)
• Hellcat .380 vs Sig P365 and other micro-compacts
• Live fire demonstration and recoil comparison
• The critical question of terminal performance and ammo selection
