Hellcat Giveaway Winners!

Congrats to the winner. Doesn't look like I will be owning one anytime soon. Fixed income sucks and selling off firearms sucks even more around here. Dealer want to give you nothing for trade ins even if they are brand new and never fired

I was going to ask if you were of Officer Joe Bolton fame that I used to watch as a kid (host of Our Gang, Three Stooges, etc. on WPIX in NY). But that was so long ago I doubt a lot on here wouldn't even know who I was talking about. Anyways jbolton, again congratulations

I have to Thank you for this opportunity! I've carried Springfield since the 70's starting with my first a .45 that I was issued in the Navy. Shot better than the Remington. When the Baretta came out I still carried the .45. Now retired from the Navy, I carry a Springfield .40. This Hellcat is a huge boost for me to conceal and carry more comfortably.
I have wanted one since the first day they came out. I will enjoy sorting through ammo to determine what shoots the best through it. Any recommendations from current Hellcat owners?

Mine has had no issues with a variety of range and self defense loads.
I prefer the standard pressure loadings from Hornady critical defense 115gr and Federal HST 124gr the later of which being my carry round.
The gun handles +p 124gr as well as some heavier 147 and 150 grain loads better than I do. The recoil is not terrible but it increases my shot splits too much for my taste.
Enjoy your new Hellcat!

I may have a Hellcat within the next couple years. It looks like a beauty. Right now I have the other “Hellcat”, the XDs Mod.2 45 ACP. Shoots great and disappears comfortably as an EDC.
