Overview

Springfield Armory built the Hellcat RDP to bridge the gap between concealability and shootability. The slide is cut specifically for the HEX Wasp, which sits low enough to allow you to use the iron sights through the window if the battery dies. Out of the box, you get a 3.8-inch barrel with a self-indexing compensator that reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil. The frame features the signature U-Dot front sight and Tactical Rack rear sight, making this one of the most ready-to-run micro compacts available. If you are searching for a springfield hellcat rdp 3.8 micro compact pistol with hex wasp micro red dot, you are looking at a firearm that requires zero gunsmithing to get a red dot on target.

The self-indexing compensator is a key feature of the springfield hellcat rdp 3.8 micro compact pistol with hex wasp micro red dot. It uses two vertical ports and a single horizontal port to redirect gas upward, keeping the muzzle flat. You will notice a significant difference in follow-up shot speed compared to a standard micro compact. The HEX Wasp itself is an all-metal housing with an aluminum cap, giving you a durable optic that holds zero through thousands of rounds.

• HEX Wasp includes an auto-brightness sensor with a manual override and a 10-hour battery life on medium setting
• Slide is optics-ready from the factory with a low-profile mounting system that does not require a plate
• Trigger pull is approximately 5.5 to 6 pounds with a tactile reset

Who It Is For

The Springfield Hellcat RDP is for the shooter who wants a red dot without the bulk. If you carry appendix or strong side, the short grip and slim profile make it easy to conceal under a t-shirt. It is also a strong choice for someone who has struggled with micro compacts being snappy; the compensator and aggressive grip texture make it manageable for smaller hands or newer shooters. Law enforcement officers looking for a backup gun or off-duty carry piece will appreciate the capacity and the low-profile optic. Simply put, if you want a factory-complete red dot pistol that fits in a pocket holster or a waistband, this is your rig.
