Hellcat sights

Does anybody know who the manufacturer of the tritium front sight for the Hellcat? I recently purchased a Hellcat but it came with the fiber optic instead of the tritium night sight. I've called Springfield who told me HS Produkt makes the guns and installs the sights. I was going to reach out to HS Produkt but they do not have e-mail.
Thanks
 
I did call Springfield, I was told by customer service they did not know the manufacturer and to contact HS Produkt. I also emailed them and I was sent a order sheet from the custom shop.

The XD line shares sights among all models and the Hellcat. You can get a front sight from Ameriglo or Truglo. Another mod has experience with the Ameriglo and said it was very close to the Hellcat OEM sight. Both are big names in the iron sight business and you should have no problem getting what you need.
Edit: This is for the front sight. The rear sight is different on the OSP.

After speaking with the Springfield Facebook page, they told me they are Ameriglo. I know this is an older topic, but I went looking as I wound up with a Fiber Optic and wanted the tritium so I am now trying to find which Ameriglo sights are compatible. Glad to see the XD line are the compatible ones. I will look for one. I love the back. I need a good front site. NightFision ones seem tiny. The glow on the front sight that is.
 
New Hellcat owner here and I am in the same boat. My Hellcat came with a red fiber optic and would like the tritium as well. I called Springfield customer service and they directed mw to Trijicon one of their manufacturers. Trijicon directed me to ToolTechGunsight.com in Michigan. They are a custom manufacturer who will install a tritium front sight for $145! Need to send them the slide and the process takes 8-10 weeks?? My next stop was TruGlow, who informed me they do not currently make sights for the Hellcat. I finally logged in to this forum, which is where I should have started in the first place. Good to know the XD sights are compatible.
 
I'm holding out for the Tru Glow TFX™ PRO TRITIUM/FIBER-OPTIC DAY/NIGHT SIGHTS to replace the front sight. Mine came with night sights but I have these on my XDs and I love them especially inside dim structures or early evening outdoors.

Ok so as a moderator I do not make it a habit to advertise. but 8-10weeks is ridiculous.

www.xdman.com

You can buy the sights from me and the install is free, ( I am an authorized installer for Truglo).

Or you can buy the sights then send them to me for the install. The cost is 17.50 for the install, 9.50 for return shipping. 1-2 day turnaround.

The regular hellcat uses normal XD sized height sights. The OSP has the standard front dovetail, the rear is different.
so if you really wanted that fiber optic/night sight you can buy a set and only have the front installed. Or you can call Truglo and tell them you just want to buy a Springfield TFX front sight.

Gonna keep you in mind when I go to get some new sights, if you don't mind :)
 
bigabbs78- You might also look at Night Fision Perfect Dot and XS Big Dot which make tritium sights for the XD line which uses the same sights as the Hellcat. Both look exactly like the OEM front sight that came on my Hellcat.
 
Thank you for this e-mail.

At this time, we do not offer sights for the Sprongfield Armory Hellcat pistol.

We are always evaluating new firearms for additions to our product line and I will forward your inquiry to our engineering department for their consideration.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us with this request... We are taking a closer look at developing sights for this platform.

Shoot safely,

Tru Glow

Thank you @xdman. I will check out you sight and possibly give you a call
 
Thank you @xdman for the advice and quick turnaround on the sight install for my Hellcat. Exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate the one-stop shop and fair pricing. Nice speaking with you as well!
