Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro 17-Round Magazine

Springfield Armory’s Hellcat Pro is a slightly larger, yet still easily carried, version of its micro-compact Hellcat for personal defense, and the gun’s flush-fit magazine capacity was also increased to 15 rounds.

Unlike the Hellcat, though, there was no extended magazine at launch, but Springfield has now expanded the capability of its Pro model with a 17-round extended magazine.

Like the extended magazines of the original Hellcat, those of the Pro feature a lengthened stainless-steel body along with a sleeve to bridge the gap between the bottom of the magazine well and the floorplate.

All future Hellcat Pro pistols will ship with a single 17-round extended magazine, in addition to the included 15-round, flush-fit magazine.

MSRP is $43. For more information, visit springfield-armory.com.
