California Legal Hellcat, Hellcat Pro, XD-M Elite are Coming Soon!
Adam Scepaniak 11.24.23
Springfield Armory firearms are wildly popular with their carry pistols within the Hellcat lineup as well as their more full-size, competition-ready pistols in the XD-M Elite series. If you happen to hail from California though, you might be missing out. That state’s laws are pretty bonkers and don’t need a prior explanation (it is an unfortunate truth we have all come to accept). Even for firearm manufacturers to alter their models to be accepted in Cali can be a headache, but good news is on the way. California legal Hellcat, Hellcat Pro, and XD-M Elite handguns are coming soon!
