Pimping Out My Springfield Hellcat OSP
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มิ.ย. 2020
- We now have a second Springfield Armory Hellcat on the channel! This is the OSP version that I decided to get and fully pimp out with help from a few manufacturers. I added Talon Grips, a Viridian E-Series Red Laser for the rail and also a Shield (not Smith & Wesson) SMSC Red Dot sight for the slide.
This Viridian model E-Series red laser is made specifically for the Springfield Hellcat and fits great!
The Talon Grips are the rubberized ones, and of course we knew beforehand that they fit great, as we installed a set on a Sig Sauer P365. Link to that installation video is here: • Install & Review: Talo...

Hammer, Thanks for the review, the Hellcat looks nice! Just to let your viewers know, the TALON Grips magazine extensions and grips ARE SOLD SEPARATELY! The magazine extensions are an additional $1.99, but just want to clear up any confusion for your viewers. Thanks again for the mention, keep up the great work!
Thank you. Selling those separate is actually a good idea so people don't have to buy whole kits to handle additional magazines.
I replaced my Handleit grip with a Hogue rubber grip. This added just a little more grip size and a nice finger grove giving me better grip and improved control.
We are going to try that Hogue out and see how we like it.
Red Dot and Laser? Gotta love a guy that wears a Belt and Suspenders!
A gun belt that is...! 😂
Laser will probably work better at night🤔
Whats wrong with belt and suspenders? Am i missing something here?
isa naff
Its a joke meaning usually ppl keep their pants on with one or the other. By comparison to pistol setup having light and laser is like wearing both belt and suspenders.
@@2bituser569 Well said my friend...JJ
Just happy to see that something made in Croatia has international impact. Planing to get one soon, in Cro they selling it by HS11 name on it and not hellcat.
I just bought a hellcat. I looked at lights, lasers, sights. It's like buying another hellcat! I'll stick with a plain hellcat for now.
🤣🤣
I like everyones personal style. Guns are good at showing how individual we all are. I would take the lazer off and instead, put a light there
To truly pimp this Hellcat out, you need the 15 round magazines
Nahh you just have to dress her up in lingerie and drop her at the motel six.
Thanks you showed how important a laser is. You don’t get a second chance in a confrontation. You either stand to be recognized or identified by someone of your family.
Thank you. Just make sure to also practice with your sights for times the laser is not the best choice and/or it fails.
I bicycle ride at night and I carry the Hellcat OSP with the WASP red dot plus the Viridian laser. Great video 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you.
Do you like the wasp?
@@austin735 Yes but I had to get a tech to accurately configure it
Very interesting and educational video. I installed Talon's new texture that is between the rubber and sandpaper on my 43X and it is perfect for me. It is what I will use from now on.
Thank you.
The Glock 43 rubber Hague grip works also feels great
i bought a hellcat from murdochs (CO) it was the package deal. 550 for the hellcat osp model, a viridian e series laser and a TUFF holster. I was going to buy it when it was just the osp for 600 but glad i waited out. Only bad thing is i only have 20 rounds of 9mm. oh well
Beautiful setup! Love it! Planning to do the same with my Shield 2.0 with integrated laser & add the same Shield SMSc! Shield on Shield action. 😁
Thank you.
Awesome video Bro!
Thank you.
You shoot that really well with the laser.
Great video, appreciate it. Hell brother... you shot better groups with the laser than you did the Red Dot! LOL :)
Thank you.
Just ordered some 15 round mags for my Hellcat.
Same here.
Thanks for the video very informative. Scoured TH-cam for what I was looking for and thankfully found your video.
My hellcat RDP come with the SMSc optic. I removed it for the Holosun 507k.
@8:10 I just bought a Hellcat OSP a month ago and only a second day after purchasing it I went to unscrew those torque screws and sure enough I stripped the darn thing lol. And to make matters worse, I tried using a cheap Screw Extractor kit to remove it and just made a bigger mess of the top of the screw and had to take it to a gunsmith :-/
Dame it hammer 🔨
You always somehow convince me to buy all
These extra guns 😆😳🤤
LOL - watch for one more thing coming very soon on this Hellcat :-)
Good info
Great review guys
Thank you.
Excellent job!
Thank you.
Nice work bud. Thank you.
Thank you.
Awesome video!! Thank you!!
Thank you.
Guarantee if you shoot the Winchester +P+ rounds it’ll loosen that optic. Loctite is necessary.
Thanks for the video. I ordered a
Nice! Thinking of purchasing one...
Superb video!
Great info! Thank you.
The hellcat RDP is out now
I love 💕 my EZ 🛡️ 9 mm it's a great pistol!!!
Very good video! Thanks a lot for the tips!
Sounds like a great plan I think I might try it 🤔
Thank you.
Very nice
cooks has a iwb for the optics and laser only one I have found but there lead time is out there
Can you maje a video on how to change the release magazine to a left handed shooter please
Thank you.
You do a great job
Is that even possible? I'm a lefty so that would be good news.
Thank U H/S for the concise vid.
Great video! Now you just need to add the Apex Tactical trigger.
Thank You,now I know I can put the laser on myself! A really great firearm.Love it!
Nice ✌️ got the Hell Cat love it 👍,it came with a HEX-WASP red dot already have to get a battery 😠
I would never know that about the manual says I never read them.
Nice
...great video....thx 👍
Thank you.
i hear they don't shoot well but that's one goodlooking gun...
I have had no trouble shooting either of these well, they are small so it is a bit more work to handle them properly but they shoot well if you do.
Beautiful! Question... what kind of holster are you carrying this in?
Hey, did the dud ever tell you what holster he used for the tricked out springfield hellcat?
Unfortunately no
@@favored777 try Exarchy Holsters, they make them!!!
Which bore laser did you use to Zero your hellcat OPS when you installed the shield red dot?
i love my hellcat
I remove the screws from the smsc and I cannot get the red dot off. It's a brand new gun, came installed. I don't want to try and pry it off. It's only the two screws holding that thing on??
The two screws should be the only retention - it is possible that some loctite got under it and is making it stick but it should come right off.
@@HammerStriker yeah there was some sticky residue under the sight that apparently made it stick and I didnt want to break it trying to pull too hard. Pulled hard and it came off though! thank you
I have the exact same setup less the grips and have had a hell of a time trying to find an OWB concealed carry for this setup with the laser and OSP. Anyone have any luck with this?
I finally found one and I am happy with it. IWB for Hellcat with RMR and E series Viridian. Here is the link. Enjoy. phalanxconcealment.com/shop/iwb-hoslters-for-guns-with-lights-or-lasers/xlp-dagger-2-0-with-light
It’s been a year. Can you give any review you may have for the Hex Wasp v RMSc/SMSc
Does the dot on the RMR appear instantly when drawing from dark IWB concealed carry?
Yes, it is ready instantly.
A red dot, iron sight AND a laser. Talk about redundancy haha
Wouldn't both a laser and red dot be confusing?? Trying to get two dots on target seems counter productive.
You are likely to use one or the other. The laser when you don't plan to bring the gun or the red-dot into a full sightline (off angle threats). The red-dot when you are going to line up and would otherwise use the sights. This is the only gun I put both on, usually I choose one or the other.
What type of holsters would you recommend for this type of setup? I too am planning to get a red dot and laser, but no luck in finding a holster to accommodate both.
Exarchy makes a holster that works well with this exact setup, unfortunately it took a VERY long time to get it but it is a nice holster.
The way the laser fastens I find a bit cheesy. The plastic has enough forgiveness to allow it to easily get bumped off zero by minimal pressure and it doesn’t return to zero completely.
A W E S O M E !
Thank you.
What OWB holsters are available for the Hellcat PRO with a red Viridian laser? TIA
Looks like "Karen" was the inspector on your red dot sight, so hopefully she doesn't report you for something... 😂😷🇺🇸
One thing is for sure.. the quality control on that particular unit will be rock fuckin solid.
Red dot (tactical) laser when it does not matter. Shalom
thats cool but most situations will never really require a laser especially in stressful situations. And if you in a full on combat match were your in a gunfight for hours you need a longer range firearm
So what holster do you use for concealed carry with all these attachments?
Waiting on an Exarchy to arrive but it has not yet.
Any holster recommendations for hellcat with laser/red dot set up like you have? Im having trouble finding anything.
There’s one on the Springfield Store website by Crucial Concealment. Looks like it’ll fit the regular hellcat or OSP with the Viridian E Series Laser.
We did a video on a holster by Exarchy that fits this gun configured as you see it.
Warcat tactical has an excellent holster I got for my hellcat
I've been looking for a flashlight/laser attachment for my Hellcat
This is working well so far, similar design to the ones I use on my carry Glocks (those happen to be Crimson Trace but Veridian makes excellent products as well).
Hammer/Striker
I have a question. The kit you brought from Springfield SMSc does the screws actually work?
Great job on the Hellcat! Just curious, are you considering a DPM Recoil rod/spring upgrade or a PRP trigger in the future?
Thank you. I rarely change recoil springs unless I have an actual functional issue so I am unlikely to change that part. I frequently do trigger jobs but I am actually happy with the Hellcat trigger so most likely I will leave it alone.
Hammer Striker I agree 100 percent. The Hellcat has a very good trigger from the factory. A good trigger job can make it smoother and lighter, which should be all anyone would ever need. Changing the recoil system is not for everyone and should only be done if absolutely needed. Plus the DLM recoil is laughably overpriced for what you get.
I put a dpm recoil spring in my fnx 45 tactical, it already recoiled on the softer side but I suppose it helped a little bit. No function issues and I figure the spring should help the slide not beat the frame up over the longrun.
I just got my laser for my hellcat what IWB holster fits this?
Laser and red dot? Why not a flashlight and a bipod with a vertical foregrip plus ghost ring and night vision?
Have you found a holster that works with the laser?
Still waiting on an Exarchy that will allegedly fit but I cannot comment on it until I get it and try it.
How’s the laser holding up for you? I just got my hellcat, thinking of getting one for mine too.
Both the laser and the red-dot are running fine still.
@@HammerStriker what holster are you using?
I am trying to install this laser on my hellcat but the non laser side is not snaping in place properly. Have any advice to help?
What bore sight do you use or recommend?? My red dot is off and I want to be able to adjust without the naked eye
I have had good luck with Sightmark Bore Sights, they are caliber specific and work well.
@@HammerStriker thanks for the reply! My red dot on one of my pistols shoots way low but I don’t have ease of access to nice long ranges or sandbags etc so looking for other ways to zero it out
Why two lasers needed?
does anyone know how much is the distance between the trigger guard and mounting slot for the springfield hellcat? thank you
Do all hellcats have the green logo?
I heard that this laser won't hold after firing the gun. Is this true?......what iwb holster are you using?
Why did you purchase the mounting hardware from Springfield? You couldn't use the screws that come with the Shield SMSC??? or the screws that are already on the plate??? is it necessary to purchase the mounting kit??? Thanks!
If you buy the sight directly from Springfield (from their site) it will come with everything you need. If you buy the sight elsewhere it may not. The screws have to be the right length to avoid interfering with the striker.
Hammer Striker Thank you! Springfield has been Out of stock but I was able to find it directly from shield. They told be it comes with the hellcat hardware but sometimes the sales rep can be mistaken. I hope not! Lol. I’m guessing the length of the screws have to be the exact size as the screws in the plate. Can the screws that come with the plate be used, just in case or should I just purchase the kit from Springfield? Thanks!!
Great video! Can i ask what bore laser you used?
Thank you. That is a Viridian E-series made specifically for this gun.
Why would you put a red dot and a laser?
I would like to add laser to my new Hellcat. But the way you explained about how that battery woks. Be careful not to do this, but must do that... do not peel off sticker... scares the heck out of me. Just to add the laser to my gun and I need to read and memorize a 300-page manual (of course I'm only exaggerate the process). But you understand what I mean. Must it be that complicated?
What holster are you using with the laser?
We just found one and ordered it - it may take a couple of weeks to get here and we will do a "Gear Review" video on it. I don't want to recommend it until we test it but it looks pretty good online.
@@HammerStriker thanks I'm looking forward to the video. Gear reviews are a public service & we thank you.
@@HammerStriker hey any updates on the holster? Can you provide the link?
How did you like that new grip? (Hellcat symbol) Thinking of ordering it for mine
Overall, I do like the grip and the logo. If you leave out the colored square then it will just blend in if you don't like the colored logo (on either side).
@@HammerStriker definely going to order that bright red or blue one lol looks nice
Does the red dot ever turn off and then on with motion??
Yes, in total darkness it does. The battery should last 2 years with heavy use and 4 years or so if it is mostly stored in the dark or with the cap on it.
Hammer Striker thank you!! Does it come with a cover to put over, when not in use?
This is the old conversation of built vs bolt on. Can I just say…you don’t need a red dot and a laser… it’s one or the other. Also for the price you paid for both you could’ve got the RMSc which is a far superior red dot. Also…swap the trigger and internal springs and then we can call it “pimping it out”. You just made a simple firearm into something with 2 battery life’s.
Could you not just buy an OSP slide for a regular Hellcat if you really wanted to? Genuinely curious.
Theoretically yes, the hard part would be getting just the slide.
The optic is crap, min didn't hold zero the polymer lense scratched super easy and its not adjustable, your better off getting a rmrcc or a 507k
So just stick to the red laser that comes with it
Springfield just came out with the HEX™ Wasp™ Red Dot Optic Designed for low-profile, direct mounting for the Hellcat.
With the 507k you have to get the slide milled for it. The Swampfox Sentinel is a much better option.
@@Fishin4funout4trout You can get an adapter plate for mounting the Holosun.
great vid. Do you know of any right sided holsters for the hellcat with site and laser attatched?
Thank you. I have an Exarchy on order that has not yet arrived for me to test/review. Looks good on the site but until I try it I cannot easily give it a thumps up/down.
@@HammerStriker any updates on this? I’m looking for a holster as well.
Has anybody got a couple hundred down range with this laser? If so, how well does it hold zero?
Hey yeah I have and for me it’s held zero lovely. Maybe shot about 300 ish with the laser.
What kind of holster are you using with that laser?
I like the idea of adding the laser to back up the red dot. where did you find a holster to fit it?
Exarchy makes a holster for it and we recently published a review on it - good holster.
The sites are there to backup the red!
@@j.m.youngquist419 everything is a backup to the sights.
Nice video. Just order the veridian E series.I have one question. I was wondering if your hellcat rattles no matter if is cocked or not and if all the rattles are normal. Thank you.
Mine rattles slightly when it isn’t cocked. When it’s charged, it’s super tight. No rattle.
This one does not rattle when cocked, a lot of striker guns will when the sear is disconnected because the striker is able to move around.
Is not the striker is the MAGAZINE BLOCKING LEVEL. I contact Springfield armory and I was told to put some oil which I did with no results. I was wondering what will happen if I remove it. Thank you.
Any holsters that fit the hellcat with viridian?
Don’s Custom Holsters
Looks great , just got my Hellcat type of holster do you use & where did you get it ?
I am waiting on an Exarchy holster I ordered but don't have yet.
Black Arch has IWB or OWB for about $100. Al's Sporting Goods sells them for about $70.
To me why have a laser with a optic. More practical to have a light verses a laser
I have a light with my optic and a laser dont really care for the laser but the light is to blind the attacker if needed at night
Laser with a red dot? I dont get it??
How did you put the hellcat logo on it .
It came that way with the cutouts and a small green square that you position behind the cutout.
Nice set. quick question.... if I'm running the red dot. Why would i need laser? That's kind of overkill for a micro pistol IMHO. But as mom use to say...To each His own. My Hellcat was perfection straight out the box.. No need for all this extra shit. Dead on iron sights.Nice video tho
Why have a red dot and a laser?
Watching your video now, I’m looking for a shield red dot. Where can I find one?
Springfield Armory actually sells them directly on their site.
Hammer Striker they’re out of stock, sad about that!
You can also buy directly from Shield Sights. They have them in stock but it takes about a week to receive since they are a company out of the UK.
Try SHIELD10 for a 10% discount on the shield sights website.
@@wadealley74 they have them back in stock now. Not sure if you're still in the market.
What IWB holster would you recommend with the setup you have in this video?
I am waiting for an Exarchy that I ordered to arrive that is supposed to work but I cannot confirm until I actually get it.
Same question did you get holster if so how does it work
