Battle of the Micro Pistols

Size comparison of Springfield Hellcat Micro Compact and the Ruger LCP — Springfield Hellcat Micro Compact (left) and Ruger LCP (right)

Specifications	Ruger LCP	Springfield Hellcat
Caliber	.380 Auto	9mm
Barrel	2.75 in	3 in
Capacity	6 round	11 and 13 round
Sights	Fixed	Tritium front; U-notch rear
Length	5.16 in	6 in
Width	0.82 in	1 in
Height	3.6 in	4 in
Rail	No	Yes

Let’s get specific. Although the Ruger LCP and Springfield Hellcat are both compact and powerful, there are some key differences. When compared side by side, there is a clear distinction in size. The Springfield Hellcat is slightly larger with an overall length of 6-inches, a 4-inch height, and a 1-inch width. For some, this is the perfect size, no question. But we’re talking about micro-compact handguns. Something you could easily slip into a pocket. Unfortunately, the Springfield Hellcat doesn’t meet that requirement for many.

On the other hand, the Ruger LCP is clearly smaller overall. Of the two, this is the one you could put in the pocket of your cargo pants and go about your day without a second thought. If that’s what you’re after, great! But what you gain in concealability, you lose in capacity. The standard Ruger LCP only comes with a 6-round magazine total. Compare that to the Hellcat standard, which comes in with a whopping 13-round capacity and there’s nothing left to say. Then there’s the difference in barrels. The LCP comes equipped with an alloy steel barrel versus the Hellcat which sports a hammer-forged barrel. Two very different options yet two very similar end results. So which is better? That depends.

If you are looking for the most stripped down, basic yet functional micro pistol, then the Ruger LCP is for you. It’s simple, powerful, and no-nonsense – all things that many gunners want and value in a concealed carry weapon. But if you want power, capacity, and the ability to customize your firearm, then the Springfield Hellcat is the way to go. Tough decision, right? Well, we’re about to make it even harder.

Upgrade Your Micro Pistols

Because of how popular both models are within their respective brands, Ruger and Springfield have produced countless variations of their classic micro-compact pistols. So, when you want the legendary power that is a Ruger, but you still want to be able to hide your handgun in your pocket, choose the Ruger LCP Max. The Ruger LCP Max offers the same compact and reliable pistol as the original but in a new design. It comes chambered in .380 ACP with a 2.8 inch barrel and a 10 round magazine. It has a fiber optic front and drift adjustable rear sight with a savage silver stainless steel slide. Lightweight and dependable, the LCP Max continues to be the ultimate pocket-sized personal protection pistol.

Alright, that’s all fine and dandy, but where’s the ability to customize your firearm? Enter the Springfield Hellcat Pro OSP. The Springfield Hellcat Pro OSP delivers the same power and consistency with additional unique qualities. As an OSP configuration, it is designed to accept most micro red dots. It comes chambered in 9mm with a 3.7 inch barrel and two 15 round magazines. It features a tritium/luminescent front and tactical rack U-notch rear sight, a hammer forged barrel, and a billet machined slide. Its recoil system consists of a dual captive recoil spring with a full length guide rod. With impressive strength and advanced features, the Springfield Hellcat Pro OSP persistently delivers excellent performance.
