 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in today. We're looking at the Springfield armory hellcat models We're going to talk about the magazine capacity because Something just increased a bit and I'm going to show that shortly here. We have a standard hellcat with a 13 round mag here. We've got a OSP model in flat dark earth with a 11 round mag over here. We've got a Hellcat RDP rapid defense package This one has a 3.8 inch barrel with a compensator and it currently has an 11 round magazine So I'm a fan. You can see that I have all three. I really do enjoy the Springfield armory hellcat I think they have an amazing three inch barrel subcompact nine millimeter handgun that is is accurate and offers many options As you can see now the 13 round mag offers three finger contact alright the pinky Rest on there and on my hand anyways about halfway through so it does hang off a bit But I've often said you know with 13 rounds you had one of the chamber you're looking at 14 round capacity with a little subcompact gun and a lightweight gun at that That's really nice capacity for CCW. All right and all these offer that But something happened recently where Springfield armory is now offering a 15 round mag This will work in any of these health cats. Okay, this is loaded the the firearm itself is not I haven't loaded for a reason. All right there. You've got 15 rounds So now you've got more of a full-size grip with three finger contact with a full Little finger grab there. So it's not hanging off The end of the magazine base plate. So here we've got 15 rounds add one 16 rounds That is the size of most compact size handguns, but in a subcompact format now the reason I have This one loaded is because I want to show you the difference here. We've got 13 rounds here. We've got 15 rounds. So what is the size difference? Well, I measured them both from the round to the base plate with the 13 round mag You're looking at pretty close to four inches and over here you're looking at four and a half inches So if we align them on top of each other, I'll move it around this way You can see the difference is right there All right, so about approximately a half an inch and then you're getting that additional two rounds Which is nice, you know the more capacity the better And they're meeting the demand with 15 rounds for the Springfield Armory Hellcat So if I go ahead and put the 15 round mag And you can see that nice crisp fit and then of course you get 15 rounds So let's check out the weight difference and then we'll Take a few shots to do a function check So if I put this in here, we'll start with the 13 round without a round in the chamber just straight 13 rounds we're looking at one pound seven and a quarter ounces and over here 23 and a quarter ounces, but if I Drop that and go with the 15 round mag. You're looking at 23 or 24 and three eighths ounces So it's a little bit heavier as you would expect it's got a couple extra rounds a little extra material 23 and a quarter And 24 in this case 24 and a quarter So you're looking at an extra ounce for an additional two rounds But before we go any further let's go ahead and take a few shots to make sure that This mag functions properly 15 round mag with self-defense loads 15 round mag 124 grain federal syntax I just got back from the indoor range And as you can see the 15 round mag worked well with the federal syntax loads and the sd rounds It's important to note that this is not an aftermarket product This is made by springfield armory. You can see the logo right there the same logo on the 13 round mag and The 11 round mag. I don't know if the camera picks that up, but this is made by springfield armory so it worked well for me, you know, I Loaded up 15. I will mention the spring is tight initially, but it does loosen up I I loaded it and unloaded several times loosened up a little bit still rather tight may need a speed loader initially But now if you own a springfield health cat you have the availability to use a 13 round and 11 round or a 15 round mag or as a spare mag to let 15 in the pocket and you're definitely well suited Something bad happens, but there you go. It's not available with the health cat and thought you may like to know If you like videos like this, please subscribe and share.
