In 2019, HS Produkt (under the patronage of Springfield Armory for the American market) introduced the micro-compact pistol with a polymer frame H11, laying the foundation for a successful series of pistols for everyday carry. The HS Produkt H11 pistols thus became one of the first true competitors to the SIG P365 model.
In 2022, the weapon's design was updated. It was equipped with a magazine of greater capacity and the slide was modified to allow the mounting of pistol sights. This enhanced series of H11 pistols was given the suffix Pro.
The HS Produkt H11 pistol (designated as Hellcat under Springfield Armory's patronage) was declared the pistol of the year 2020 by Guns Ammo magazine and also received the NASGW-POMA award for the best new pistol of 2020.
Thanks to the materials used and its micro-compact dimensions, the HS Produkt H11 RDR pistol is incredibly lightweight. When carrying it all day, you will hardly notice it. At the same time, however, due to the double-stack magazine, it provides sufficient fire capacity for resolving any potential crisis situation.
The HS Produkt H11 RDR pistol is equipped with an innovative system for swapping the magazine catch button. This makes the weapon comfortable to handle for both right-handers and left-handers.
The pistol utilizes a pre-tensioned striker construction and is equipped with two safeties. A trigger safety and a striker block. The HS Produkt H11 RDR pistol has an indicator of a chambered round for even higher safety.
The HS Produkt H11 RDR self-loading pistol has a frame with a mounting rail, a rounded trigger guard, and for such a small pistol, a distinct beavertail. This, in combination with excellent ergonomics, significantly increases weapon control during shooting. The pistol's slide has aggressive serrations in both the front and rear for more secure and safe handling when racking.
The HS Produkt H11 RDR self-loading pistol comes standard with a red fiber optic front sight and a U-notch rear sight highlighted with white color.
To aim the HS Produkt H11 RDR pistol more easily and quickly, you can equip it with a reflex sight compatible with Shield RMS mounts. Mounting the reflex sight does not require any mounting plates. Just remove the cover and simply install the reflex sight.
The company was founded as IM Metal in 1991 in Croatia. In early 2001, after the success of the HS2000 pistols on the global market, the company changed its name to HS Produkt. In 2007, HS Produkt began collaborating with Springfield Armory. Thanks to this strategic cooperation, the company quickly became the largest importer of firearms to the American market.
Founders and co-owners of HS Produkt, Ivan Žabčić and Marko Vuković, are both mechanical engineers. Vuković is the chief designer of most of the weapons. He also has combat experience as a veteran of the Croatian War of Independence, during which he was injured twice. HS Produkt was one of the contestants in 2016 competing to replace the FAMAS rifles in the French army.
