OOP's! Guessing many of us are going to have to go back to the drawing board?

Yah, true costs can be surprising!
S&H is always a concern that should be combined with displayed price for true value spent. I rarely buy just one thing at a time when shopping online. Reason? Sometimes S&H is tossed in over a certain price-point. Even if S&H is not discounted or thrown in, the more selling price is divided into a product price when purchasing multiple items lowering overall price spent.
On the other hand? Is partially why tend to purchase more locally on some items. Local dealer sometimes marks up product a buck or two to cover their costs, is at online price and/or sometimes lower? Customer's still sometimes on upper end?
Big exclusion is usually on newly offered products eventually hitting shelves. If can wait, maybe better off? Have often found more and lower prices locally than online on many items. Best advice, give it time to balance out?

$10 for shipping one?
sheesh, i could have gotten free shipping, but i wanted them sooner, so my 2, only cost me a total of $5.00 to ship. and that is from S/A themselves.

Does make a big difference in the grip size, wonder how it is to conceal the pistol with the 15 round mag installed.

i honestly cannot say that it "sticks out" much more than the factory 10 rd mag. i tried both the 10 and 15 rd mags, and they seem nearly comparable in being concealed.

Thanks, good to know.
Hand barely fits on mounted 13 rnd mag. Supposedly new 15 rnd mag's approximately 1/4" longer than 13 rounder, should be about right. Am hoping 15 rnd size is about perfect. Should know as soon as they arrive. Worst case scenario? - Make great back up mags?

yeah, i don't have large hands, and i can tell you, even with the 10rd mags with the "pinky extension", my pinky still did not sit fully on the grip. the 15 rd mags, now give that pinky the needed area it needs.

my 2 were in a zip lock type of bag.......so goush.......I received my new mags on Sunday. The ¼" is negligible imo!
Just wish the "unboxing" was as cool as all the clips I saw on the 17th
Just received Hellcat 15 round mags today.
For once guessed right? Fit hand just better, no pinkie overlap and no probs with printing.
Weight actually feels more balanced too. "Balanced?" - Not sure that came from? Not me!

I'll be picking up a couple of these new mags also . I can switch out between using them on both my Hellcats. The FDE OSP Hellcat and my new RDP Hellcat . sounds good to me
Lock n' Load
Custom
Got 2 of the new 15 round mags yesterday. Shot a box each of my EDC ammo and range ammo today in both mags. No problems whatsoever although the first load was tight even with the Uplula. After the range and a cleaning, the reload was a bit easier. The concealment factor is unchanged in all my holsters, even the pocket carry Desantis Super Fly. My XL hands are very happy as proper grip acquisition is easier and faster resulting in improved trigger pull and accuracy. Highly recommended for those with XL hands.

If you replace the 15 round base plate and spring with the 13 round base plate and spring you turn the 15 round mag into a 17 round mag!!!!! That's right 18 rounds in a Hellcat!!!!
