New Guns & Gear for 2021—Springfield Armory 10-Round Hellcat

From Springfield

Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the new 10-Round Hellcat® and Hellcat® OSP™ pistols. This new offering provides those in locales requiring restricted capacities an opportunity to own the most popular concealed carry pistol available.

The 3″ barreled micro compact pistol was developed to offer shooters a cutting-edge CCW pistol with rugged durability. The +P rated handgun features a hammer forged steel barrel and billet machined slide, both featuring a Melonite™ coating. The lightweight and strong frame features Adaptive Grip Texture™, a seamless, pressure-activated texture featuring a pattern of staggered pyramid shapes. The taller pyramids have a flattened top to ensure comfort in the waistband, while the shorter pyramids come to a point and are engaged when the pistol is firmly gripped. A reversible mag release and non-proprietary accessory rail for lights and lasers ensure maximum adaptability.

I asked the experts how long polymer handguns will last. Here’s what they said.

The OSP (Optical Sight Pistol) variant of the Hellcat features a removable seamless cover plate that allows direct mounting of a micro red dot to the slide for the lowest possible profile. Complementing the ability to mount a red dot optic is the Hellcat’s U-Dot™ sight system, offered on both the OSP and standard non-optic model. It is made up of a high-visibility tritium and luminescent front sight paired with a tactical rack U-notch rear. The direct-mount capability of the OSP allows for co-witnessing of the U-Dot sights with a red dot for ultimate instinctive target engagement.

“The Hellcat has proven to be extremely popular since its launch due to its quality, capabilities and performance,” says Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “Now, with these new 10-round versions of the pistol in both standard and OSP versions, even more shooters have the chance to own the best concealed carry pistol on the market.”

The MSRP for the standard 10-Round Hellcat is $569, while 10-Round Hellcat OSP has an MSRP of $599.

Meprolight Renames HVS Sights to Hyper-Bright Sights

From Meprolight

Meprolight renamed its HVS—high visibility sights— family of self-illuminated day/night sights to Hyper-Bright™. Introduced at the 2020 SHOT Show, Meprolight’s Meprolight Hyper-Bright Sights are 30% brighter than any other pistol sight on the market and come with an extremely bright contrasting color ring on the front sight enabling you to get on target faster.

Meprolight® recommends you upgrade the sights on your handgun with tritium enhanced day/night sights in order to increase your defense capabilities in any lighting condition. Go to your local gun dealer to see for yourself. Following all of the gun safety rules, look down the sights of a handgun with standard sights in low-light conditions. Then do the same with a handgun that has upgraded day/night sights. See how much more visible and faster you can put the tritium illuminated sights on the target. Meprolight Hyper-Bright sights are available in three colors (Orange, Green or Yellow). The color combinations help the shooter focus on the front sight quicker which is critical for self defense or competitive shooting. Available for Glock, Sig, and Smith & Wesson M&P Shield

Bill Yerby V.P. Sales & Marketing, Meprolight, “….selecting your sights is as important as selecting your firearm. Upgrading the sights on your EDC —Every Day Carry—gun, will increase your capabilities to put the shots you need on target , in any light, when it is needed the most. Meprolight Hyper-Bright Sights will give you an edge.”
