Picked up a 'Low Capacity' Hellcat this week

[jimc]

So far I really like it. For those who are not familiar, the mag is between a single stack and a double stack, like the Sig 365. The 'Standard' version holds 11 rounds flush and 13 with the extended mag. They finally came out with the 10 rd version. Springfield is calling 10 rounds 'Low Capacity'. I'm thinking all the manufactures should all do this. Maybe 'Standard Capacity' 30 rd mags will start being called Standard Capacity.

As much as I despise SA as a company , I will acknowledge the do have some quality 1911s .
I haven’t shot any of their poly offerings . I see they recently developed their own RDS which they now sell a hellcat with it , the RDS looks cool but yet to be proven.
As far as your theory , the opposite of low is high . Seems low is unfortunately an acknowledgement that “high” capacity is a thing.

Their xds is perfect for me as a carry gun. Looking for one in 9 mm.

I highly doubt Springfield Armory Inc developed any red dot, more than likely HS did and SAI is just putting their name on it, or someone is buying and rebranding Shield arms sights

Very nice. I saw one at my LGS the other day and was happy they finally brought it out with a 10 rd mag for us poor folks in restricted states. I was really interested in Springfield's XD-M in 10mm, but couldn't find a 10rd option. I even e-mailed them to see if they made or were planning to make 10rd mags for it and they said no on both counts.

You would have to ask HS in Croatia if they planned on making one not Springfield Armory Inc

That's all any company is doing. I suspect the Sig Romeo zero is just a rebranded Shield given the zero is a polymer also. Did Trijicon release their single stack thin RMR yet?

No Sig makes their red dot

Well assembles, pretty much today's market some or most electronic components come from China

Apparently SA is talking up a whole line of optics ( with their name on them ) .

I saw an article in the red dot and it looked interesting. I saw a hellcat at a local shop but the gun counter was closed and then the next time there there was a roof leak so all guns were locked up. Haven’t gone back.
I like the xdm elite compact.

Very true, but I'm sure their U.S. sales strategy plays a hell of a role in what they produce, hence the 10rd Hellcat.

fixed it for ya ..

I have an xds in 9mm too. I really like that one too. The reason I was interested in the Hellcat is 10 rounds in a similar sized package.

I thought most sig stuff was just re-branded holosun?
