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 is a factory-integrated optics-ready defensive handgun engineered for concealed carry. This model combines the proven Hellcat platform with a pre-mounted HEX Wasp reflex sight, offering a low-profile red dot system that co-witnesses with the factory iron sights. The slide is ported to reduce muzzle rise, and the 3.8-inch barrel provides a balance of accuracy and concealability. This is a complete, ready-to-carry system from Springfield Armory.

Overview

The Springfield Hellcat RDP is the factory-upgraded variant of the standard Hellcat. “RDP” stands for “Rapid Defense Package,” which includes the HEX Wasp micro red dot, a ported barrel and slide, and a tuned trigger. The 3.8-inch barrel length extends slightly beyond the original Hellcat to accommodate the porting and improve ballistic performance. The HEX Wasp uses a CR2032 battery and features an auto-brightness sensor with manual override. The pistol ships with two magazines: an 11-round flush-fit and a 13-round extended magazine. This package eliminates the need for aftermarket slide milling or optic purchases.

Features & Specs

• Optic System: Factory-mounted HEX Wasp micro red dot with a 3 MOA dot, auto-adjusting brightness, and a low-profile design that maintains the Hellcat’s slim slide width. The optic sits low enough to co-witness with the factory tritium front and tactical rack rear sights.
• Barrel & Slide: 3.8-inch hammer-forged steel barrel with a ported slide and barrel assembly. The eight ports redirect gas upward to mitigate muzzle flip. The slide features Springfield’s DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) finish for corrosion resistance.
• Trigger & Frame: Springfield Armory’s forged, melonite-finished slide with an internally hammer-forged barrel. The polymer frame includes an integral Picatinny rail for mounting lights or lasers, and the grip module features the Adaptive Grip Texture (AGT) for positive control in wet or dry conditions.
• Magazine Capacity: 11+1 rounds (flush-fit magazine) or 13+1 rounds (extended magazine). Uses standard Hellcat magazines, which are widely available.
• Dimensions: Overall length 6.6 inches, height 4.5 inches (with 11-round magazine), width 1.0 inches. Unloaded weight is 18.3 ounces without the optic.

Who It’s For

This pistol is designed for the defensive shooter who wants a micro-compact handgun with a factory-integrated red dot and ported barrel. It suits concealed carriers who prioritize a low bore axis, reduced recoil, and fast target reacquisition. The HEX Wasp is appropriate for shooters who prefer a small, lightweight optic that does not require removing the rear sight. Law enforcement officers using the Hellcat as a backup or off-duty weapon will find the RDP package offers an immediate sighting advantage. It is also suitable for experienced shooters who want a compact pistol that can serve as a primary home defense tool when equipped with the extended magazine.
