Which brings us to the Hellcat’s U-Dot sights. The front sight of the U-Dot system features a tritium dot surrounded by a large and highly visible green luminescent ring. I’ll tell you from personal experience that getting a good set of Springfield Hellcat night sights like this would normally set you back something in the range of at least $100 - and often $150 or more. This would give me a sighting system that would offer high visibility in the bright sun, as well as night sighting in low-light. What I wanted was a good set of tritium night sights, preferably with a high-visibility ring (in a bright color) around the night sight dot. Getting on your sights quickly and effectively is a must for defensive-style shooting. And one of the first things I would change out was the sights. However, over the past few years I’ve started adding/changing things here and there, and slowly warmed up to more thoroughly customizing my guns. For years, I would stick with “stock” guns only. To be honest, I’ve only recently started getting into customizing my CCW guns. Volume 1: Hellcat Digital Magazine Table of Contents Setting Your Sights The name of the sights should give you an idea of how they are designed: a front night sight surrounded by a photoluminescent ring matched to a U-notch rear sight. But let’s not forget those iron sights backing it up…īut what about those sights backing up that red dot, featured on both the OSP and standard versions of the Hellcat? In my opinion, these “ U-Dot” sights are one of the coolest features of the new pistol. The Optical Sight Pistol (OSP) version of the Hellcat accepts red dots like the excellent Shield RMSc. There’s no getting around the fact that being able to cram a little red dot like the Shield RMSc onto a gun this size is remarkable. The Hellcat offers shooters an amazing micro 9mm EDC pistol, and one with an exceptional set of sights.īut if there’s one thing that seems to have really caught everyone’s attention, it’s the pistol’s ability to accept micro-sized red dots on the OSP (Optical Sight Pistol) version. From its 11+1 capacity in a stunningly compact gun to its excellent grip texture to its streamlined design, there’s a lot to talk about here. There are so many cool things about Springfield Armory’s new 9mm Hellcat, it’s hard to decide where to focus.
