-
- With above-average accuracy for an ultra-compact .380 ACP pistol, the Hellcat is a fine choice for concealed-carry permit holders on a tight budget.
-
- Machined into the slide, the fixed rear sight is small to prevent snagging during the draw, but still provides an adequate sight picture at self-defense distances.
-
- A green dot helps the fixed front sight stand out, providing a solid sight picture for such a small pistol with relatively low-profile sights.
-
- With a pronounced curve in the backstrap and a thumb groove, the Hellcat’s grip fills the hand beyond what one would expect from an ultra-compact handgun.
-
- The Hellcat’s beefy extractor ensures consistent, malfunction-free operation when brass-cased ammunition is fed through the pistol.
-
- The pistol’s hammer is concealed within the slide and frame. Its double-action-only design requires the hammer to be precocked, which is accomplished by the cycling of the slide.
-
- The Hellcat’s six-round magazine is equipped with witness holes and a finger extension on the baseplate, a welcome addition to any pocket pistol as it provides additional surface area for a more positive grip.

I think there is a typo – if you have to rack the slide in order to fire, then it is a “Single Action Only”, not a “double-action-only” design.
Double action only is the term used to describe trigger cocking firearms.
Single Action Only describes pistols which need to be cocked before firing, like the 1911.
