The wife “won” a Henry Golden Boy .22 at an NWTF banquet back a couple months, we already have one so she elected to use the in store credit with our local FFL and she decided on a Hellcat, she wanted one in all black which they did not have in stock and I inquired about the special Springfield was running at the end of the year with 3 extra mags and a range bag and they tracked down a distributor special with a stainless slide and the package, they found an all black package also and she liked the stainless better, came with a 10 rnd, 2-13 rnd, and 2-15 rnd mags, front night sight and a “U” rear sight, enough money left on the exchange to get a belly band and a “sticky” holster set up, have not shot it yet. Picture of it next to my Shadow Systems CR920 with its 13 rnd mag in place and my JFrame for perspective. I recently almost got through the break in on the CR920, still need to shoot another box through it, so far so good, no FTE or FTF with S&B and Fiocchi ammo, I shot the best group at our recent annual church certification at an indoor range at a police academy, couple of LEO’s were shooting too, my target was more raggedy in the center of mass than theirs were. I am having some issues dropping a magazine with it, inconsistent, it might be hanging up on the edge of my hand, Shadow Systems wants me to send them a video, we will see

Congrats

Thanks, we shall see, I will try and get a range report together.

Nice.

The Hellcat trigger out of the box will make Zee grunt and shake his head disappointingly

Ha!

Should break in I hope

I like the looks of the two tone.

Yeah, it is not as "white" as the XD I have, I generally gravitate to stainless anyway, need to get a few rounds through it and see how it cleans up.

Interested in how you like it. I have heard some good things, but there are also a lot of Springfield haters out there

I will figure it out, the wife is used to using a Taurus Model 85, going to have to work on racking, clearing, and mag changes, see if I am still married by the end of the summer.....

Top target is at 20 yds and bottom is at 10 yds, 1st 2 magazines, then the tics, gnats , and mosquitoes drove me off the range

Shoots nicely.
