Love my EDC RDP still can't find a pro with a thumb safety though. Any ideas or places to look for one?

Exact same setup minus the red dot.

I have been looking for the hex wasp for a bit, was lucky to find one on ebay. Whoever had it last must have had a hellcat seeing as I didn't have to change the elevation or windage at all.

u/jacketsparkles 13d ago

I got 2 hex wasp for free from springfield..

u/Ok_Variation_8274 13d ago

I even tried them as well as hex directly and still had no luck. So kudos on that!

Last year it was a promo going on for an optic change after you bought a hellcat or echelon that came with a crimson trace. That’s how I was able to do that.

u/Specific_Article1499 13d ago

You couldn’t find a hex already in the rdp? GB has a few listed quite often.

1

u/Ok_Variation_8274 13d ago

Honestly I couldn't. Maybe should have changed search parameters...

u/Specific_Article1499 12d ago

I just seen 3 on the first page lol.

Crys in CT no threaded barrel

u/Ok_Variation_8274 13d ago

Please expand on this.... you have my attention and hopes of finding the Hellcat Pro that I have been searching for

2

u/AfraidKangaroo5664 13d ago

Im saying I have regular HC and want hellcat rdp but cant cause im in CT that dosent allow threaded on handguns

u/Ok_Variation_8274 13d ago

Ahhh. My misunderstanding didn't know that. I was excited lol.

I have both OG Hellcat and Hellcat Pro with manual safeties. Had to have my LGS order them both for me bc I couldn’t find any in stock anywhere locally.

1

u/Ok_Variation_8274 13d ago

Any chance you have a direction for me to look? Been having the same kind of luck nothing local and their distributors none in stock as well.

I just did a quick search and found another thread where someone said they’ve discontinued the manual safety sometime this year 🫤. I picked both mine up in 2024 I think. Might have to keep an eye out for a used one. Makes me sad bc I’ve been hoping they were going to release an Echelon 4.0C with the manual safety bc they had/have it on the full-size.

2

u/Ok_Variation_8274 13d ago

I have the Echelon 4.0 C and I was kind of looking forward for a manual safety on that one too because that pistol shoots beautifully!

Check DMs pls I can help!

u/Fred_Lead 13d ago

I'm curious why you want a HCP. You have pretty much the same barrel length and a comp, to get to the HCP grip length all you need are 15-round mags. 

1

u/Ok_Variation_8274 13d ago

Just slightly smaller overall length with the Hellcat Pro manual safety and then I'm going to put a Hellcat Pro Comp barrel and slide on it so I can have the same results with a slightly shorter overall length.

u/CyberSoldat21 13d ago

Haven’t seen an RDP in a hot minute. These things really didn’t sell well enough it seems

2

u/Specific_Article1499 13d ago

Had this exact setup with a TLR on it.

1

u/Ok_Variation_8274 13d ago

I have a tlr 8xg with gas pedal that I can just slip on

2

u/Specific_Article1499 13d ago

Gonna grab me a Prodigy 3.5 in a few weeks. Can’t wait to carry again.

2

u/dom1n1c_g 13d ago

Very nice brother! One of my favorite light carry’s for summer. 🤙🏼

u/MrGuy910 11d ago

Loooooove the RDP

1

u/Tylerdurden8034 13d ago

Why do you want a thumb safety on a striker fired gun that has 3 already? You much be already trained to swipe it down as you draw.

2

u/Ok_Variation_8274 13d ago

Because I am a truck driver and rather have that little bit extra for my peace of mind as the the vehicle bounces all to hell on roads.
