Hellcat .380 slide milled in-house from 4140 steel billet
Big Demand, but No Good Supply of High-Quality .380 ACP
The idea of the Hellcat came up during a lunch meeting with a distributor friend.
In 2009 there was a strong demand for a sub compact pistol in caliber .380. We researched what was available on the market and combined the best features of all products into the Hellcat.
Hellcat combines Best Engineering, Design and Manufacturing of .380 Auto
In order to ensure that we made the best .380 automatic in the world, we focused on key things:
- We had our engineers draw up the original gun plans.
- We bought new, specialized CNC equipment to manufacture our own frames and other other components.
- We had our engineers totally redesign the Hellcat to make it the most reliable subcompact .380 auto.
- We now manufacture all major components in-house, with everything made in the USA.
Completely Re-Designed Hellcat is Backed by a Life-Time Warranty
The Hellcat one was developed within 4 month from the idea to the first production sample. We were not happy with the quality of our suppliers and therefore we bought more CNC equipment to manufacture more parts in house, including the slide.
In May, 2011, we hired a mechanical engineer who totally redesigned our Hellcat to make it the most reliable subcompact .380 in its class.
The Hellcat is the only handgun in its class to incorporate a real line of sight, with both a rear and florescent front sight.
We proudly back the Hellcat with a life-time warranty, and we guarantee the function of the Hellcat with most factory ammunition on the market.
