The Springfield Armory Hellcat pistol breaks new ground in the micro-compact 9 mm market. Packing 12 or more rounds of 9 mm into a slim, easy to conceal package, it is effortlessly useful as an everyday carry defensive pistol.

The popularity of the Hellcat has spurred the growth of aftermarket accessories and upgrades to improve your shooting experience at the range or make the gun more effective as a personal defensive pistol. From swapping out the sights to adding a red dot to expanding the capacity of the magazines, the options are almost limitless.

Now Apex Tactical Specialties is expanding their aftermarket upgrade options for the Springfield Armory Hellcat by adding an Apex Threaded Barrel that is specifically designed for this pistol. Designed to replace the factory 3-inch barrel, the Apex 9 mm Threaded Barrel is machined from a premium cold hammer forged blank and then black Melonite finished. The barrel is a direct drop-in replacement for the standard Hellcat barrel and requires no machining or fitting for use.

The twist rate is 1:10 inches for improved accuracy performance. The thread pattern is 1/2–28, allowing you to add the suppressor or muzzle device of your choice. Each barrel comes with a thread protector with a captive o-ring if you choose not to add a muzzle device.
