SPRINGFIELD ARMORY Hellcat is a semi-automatic handgun built by Springfield Armory and imported by Springfield Armory. This used Hellcat features a black finish, 3″ barrel, polymer grip, single barrel type designation, and ships with one 13-round magazine. It’s listed in the Semi Auto category with a price of $449.99 and comes without a case — important considerations when budgeting for accessories and storage.

Design and Ergonomics

The Hellcat’s polymer grip and compact 3″ barrel deliver a small footprint for concealment while maintaining a 13-round magazine capacity that beats many pistols its size. The semi-automatic action provides rapid follow-up shots, and the used condition can offer value-conscious buyers a lower entry price point at $449.99. Because the package includes a single magazine and no case, factor in the cost of spare magazines and secure storage.

Concealability and Carry

At three inches of barrel length, the Hellcat is optimized for pocket, appendix, or IWB carry. The polymer grip reduces overall weight and improves all-day comfort. For users prioritizing a balance between capacity and concealability, the 13-round magazine makes the Hellcat a notable choice in the Semi Auto category.

Because this listing is for a used handgun with one included magazine and no case, inspect the firearm or request condition photos before purchase. Consider budgeting for a second magazine and a protective case if you plan to carry or transport it regularly.
