    Thanks for the update, mate. Auto-dimming ONLY optics are a no go for me. My OCD need the optic brightness set to a specific level at all times..

    Thanks for the review. I have a battery drain issue with my WASP. in the last 6 months I went through 3 new batteries. Each one lasted 2 to 6 weeks. Obviously I got a lemon. Called Springfield and they emailed me a FedEx label. Sent it off yesterday. They said it is a 3-6 week turnaround. From other people who have this issue they say Springfield sends out a new one. Haven’t heard anyone complain about problems with the new one. That said the Hellcat, and the Pro, I have both, are my favorite pistols out of many different models and brands I own. No issues whatsoever. 500+ rounds through each. The WASP red dot was spot on out if the box. 3.5 MOA is perfect. Nice and bright. Adjusts to ambient lighting. Has a small profile and is a nice looking sight that compliments the Hellcat well. Hope the new one is as problem free as yours.

    @@HeyItsAsmus Received my WASP replacement a couple weeks ago. Thought they would send me a new one but instead sent me a refurbished one in a plastic baggie. Sitting in my desk with the battery testing to see how long it will last. Can’t trust it by installing on my Hellcat. Disappointing purchase.

    Love my hellcat , I carry it every day . I do not run the hex wasp I am running currently the veridian rfx15 and so far so good. Green dot very natural to pick up for me. One thing I will say is if you have the means and have the range , shoot more man. I shoot 2-300 rounds a week just to keep my self motivated to get better every day. I do not work in the firearm industry, nor does my job require me to be proficient with my pistol , I just decided that if I am going to carry every day, if that day comes when I need to jump I want to know that pistol in and out and not have to think about anything but what I'm doing . Keep it up, shoot more if ya cab. You'll only be doing yourself a favor.

    I had a Hex Wasp. It was stuck at full power. It would eat through a battery in 30 days, flat. I later had the gun poorly clipped to my belt and it bounced on the pavement several times. Not a scratch on the Hellcat - bent the RDS housing and cracked the lens, after having just replaced the battery for the third time. I was done with it.

    Quick question? Why if you carry one in the camber would you not still have the mag loaded fully improving the round count by one?

  • @thefullmonty3305

    @thefullmonty3305

    Жыл бұрын

    Well for one if I need more rounds I carry one extra mag, but also personally I don’t think that one round will make the difference. If I can’t hit what I’m firing at with 12 rounds then, probably need not to carry anyway lol. That also makes it so that when I get home I don’t have to find a spot to keep that one extra round. I don’t leave my pistol with one in the chamber when I’m home. I have a shotgun for home defense.

    The Wasp was garbage... Far to dim.. They discontinued it and now sell the OSP with the SHIELD SMSC.. I called Springfield to complain about how dim the red dot was and they swapped it for the SMSC and I couldn't be happier.
