American Rifleman reviewed the Springfield Armory Hellcat at its launch, and the gun won our 2020 Golden Bullseye Award for Handgun of the Year. However, this impressively capacious micro-compact handgun continues to gain steam, and we met up with the Springfield Armory team to see how the reception has been.

Watch our American Rifleman First Look video above for all the details.
