Springfield Hellcat RDP 3.8 Micro Compact Pistol With HEX Wasp Micro Red Dot

The Springfield Hellcat RDP 3.8 Micro Compact Pistol with HEX Wasp Micro Red Dot represents a factory-integrated solution for shooters who demand precision in a concealable platform. This model combines the proven Hellcat frame with a threaded barrel, compensator, and a low-profile red dot optic. Designed for defensive carry, it delivers rapid target acquisition without sacrificing the compact dimensions that define the Hellcat line.

Overview

The Springfield Hellcat RDP 3.8 Micro Compact Pistol with HEX Wasp Micro Red Dot is a ready-to-carry system that ships with the optic pre-mounted and zeroed from the factory. The RDP designation stands for “Rapid Defense Package,” which includes a self-indexing compensator that reduces muzzle rise and a HEX Wasp micro red dot that co-witnesses with the front sight. The pistol uses a 3.8-inch barrel with a 1/2×28 threaded muzzle, allowing suppressor or compensator attachment. Chambered in 9mm, it holds 11+1 or 13+1 rounds depending on the magazine used.
