 Hey there friends. Thanks for checking in after ranging out today. We're looking at the new Springfield Armory Hellcat RDP rapid defense package, so what is This package why came up with four things that make this gun different than your standard Hellcat Let's start with the optic itself. It's a Springfield Armory product. It's called a hex wasp 3.5 MOA Aluminum housed nice clear glad nice clear glass and a crisp dot and I mentioned in my tabletop review that Out of the case it looked like it Co-witnessed perfectly with the Tritium front dot and now at the range It seems that that is the case because there were no adjustments made and I did just so so right there But I'm hoping to do better But it does come with a 3.8 inch barrel that has a compensator So that's the second thing and so this compensator has some some slots all around it to disperse the gasses But it does extend the barrel length 3.8 inches so opposed to the 3 inch on the standard Hellcat This one now is available with a compensator that is aluminum. It's lightweight easy on easy off and Kind of nice, you know, I'm gonna do a slow-mo shortly to see how well it works same magazine capacity all that remains the same I will mention that the the weight difference between this model and The standard Hellcat with the red dot was One and a half ounces heavier with this I thought it would be more But it's really not because that compensator is really lightweight It does have a gen 2 trigger and in that you have a wider trigger bar safety It's comfortable on the finger it's It doesn't change the trigger weight right does not change the trigger weight So I'm still measuring right at five and a half pound trigger Which is the same I measured with the other Hellcat and then finally it does have a thumb safety an ambidextrous Thumb safety all right a lot of people like that. It's left-handed friendly And you sweep down, but you know the one thing like people say thumb safeties may engage. This is not In the way at all like it's very Unobtrusive so when when you don't have an engage and you don't worry about it There's really nowhere on the hand that actually I guess the web of my hand Touches it, but on this side there's nothing there You know the thumb doesn't touch it at all So you've got the 3.8 inch barrel the compensator the gen 2 trigger the thumb safety and the Hex wasp, which is pretty nice other than that. It's all Hellcat You know it's got that adaptive grip texturing the 11 and 13 round magazine a Accessory rail right there front serrations treaty in front dot you notch rear bolt metal and a nice shooting handgun Always enjoyed the Hellcat. Let's go ahead and load this up and we'll fire it some more one of the questions that was pretty common was The compensator that was about the cop there. They're wondering does it really make a difference and You know, I've shot guns with compensators before actually my my desert eagle with a muzzle brake on there 50 action express Compared to one without the muzzle brake. It's a huge difference now. We're talking 50 action express We're not talking 9 millimeter. How exactly will it compare with an uncompensated Hellcat with Against this compensated one. We're about ready to check that out right now Let me go ahead and set up and we'll see how well this Decreases the muzzle rise So there it is Springfield Armory Hellcat RDP They've expanded the line with this and they've been expanding the line, you know, you got the flat dark earth model You got the OSP and now you got the RDP and Certainly will be interesting to see what they come up with after this if you like videos like this Please subscribe and share.
