The NHG SPRINGFIELD ARMORY HELLCAT (Model 17,531) is the definitive micro-compact 9mm, engineered specifically for those who demand maximum capacity in the smallest possible footprint. Renowned for revolutionizing the concealed carry market, this pistol packs world-class firepower into a frame that is remarkably easy to hide. Featuring a 3-inch barrel and a compact 6-inch overall length, the Hellcat is the premier choice for shooters who want a “go-anywhere” defensive tool that never compromises on performance.

Built with a focus on deep concealment without sacrificing control, the Hellcat features a slim 1-inch width that disappears in an IWB holster or pocket. Its 3-inch hammer-forged barrel provides surprising accuracy and durability for its size, while the high-visibility tactical sights allow for lightning-fast target acquisition. The frame is outfitted with Springfield’s signature Adaptive Grip Texture—a pressure-activated micro-texture that grips your hand when you squeeze it but won’t snag on your clothing during the draw.

A top choice for everyday carry enthusiasts and personal defense, the Springfield Hellcat has earned its reputation as a rugged, high-capacity workhorse. Its staggering 11+1 round capacity in such a diminutive frame, paired with a billet-machined slide and a corrosion-resistant Melonite finish, makes it a top-searched firearm for those who require a professional-grade handgun for “non-permissive” environments. The Model 17,531 is the gold standard for micro-compacts, proving that you don’t have to give up round count to gain comfort.
