That’s a big deal because it allows you to configure it as a full-size duty gun and also a compact easy to carry pistol.

The Glock 43X expands on its successful G43 model in a widened frame and lengths which can accommodate a ten-round magazine. The additional grip length enhances better control, particularly for shooters with larger hands, and maintains the pistol’s ease of carrying. Front slide serrations facilitate easier manipulation, and the ergonomics balance nicely between comfort and carrying. Though it does not have an accessory options, but the size and existing capacity makes it a versatile easy for everyday carry firearm.

Fitting 12+1 rounds into a frame hardly larger than some six-shot pistols, it provides the capability of a bigger gun without compromising carry ability. The steel frame is substantial in hand, the trigger is slick, and the optics-ready models provide additional versatility. Long mag capacity options allow it to be used for various carrying purposes, and its record of reliability has earned it the favor of serious carriers.

Springfield Armory’s Hellcat model has become one of the top concealed carry guns in a very short time. The base Hellcat holds 11+1 rounds with the flush-fit mag, or 13+1 with the extended mag and is a gun small enough to carry every day. The Hellcat Pro increases capacity to 15+1 and comes with a little longer barrel for improved aim accuracy, still keeping a very slip body profile. The RDP model includes a compensator and micro red dot to deliver quicker shots.
Ergonomics are well done in this series, with grip texturing that adjusts to the finger and easy to controls. The optics-cut slide accommodates most well-known red dots, and the shooting accessory enables lights or lasers to focus the aim.
The Hellcat covers options which are in a full-size pistols, such as high capacity and optic compatibility, and pairs them with the dimensions and weight easy to carry. For those interested in one pistol that combines innovation, dependability, and daily easy carry practicality, the the Hellcat series sits on a top of the list of easy to carry, powerful and reliable handguns.
