If you happen to be one of the poor, unfortunate souls who lives in California yet you enjoy and respect firearms, then this will come as extremely welcomed news. Springfield Armory is releasing Cali-Compliant Hellcat, Hellcat Pro, and XD-M Elite 4.5″ 9mm handgun offerings. So, now whether you live in that crazy restrictive state or not, you can enjoy yourself some Springfield Armory goodness.
Springfield Armory @ TFB:
All 3 of these new pistol variants will come with two 10-round magazines, feature magazine disconnect safeties (as required in Cali), and will tout specifically designed loaded chamber indicators to meet California’s strict handgun requirements. The XD-M Elite 4.5” 9mm will also have a deleted extended/flared magwell (unlike the rest of the XD-M Elite line). Other than those notable changes, these pistols have all the performance capabilities and rugged durability of their non-California-compliant siblings.
- Cali-Compliant Hellcat 9mm | HC9319BOSPCA | MSRP $633
- Cali-Compliant Hellcat Pro 9mm | HCP9379BOSPCA | MSRP $649
- Cali-Compliant XD-M Elite 4.5” 9mm | XDME9459BCA | MSRP $609
