Description
This Extended Control Set from Apex is a full kit designed specifically for the Springfield Hellcat and Hellcat Pro pistol series. It includes three precision-machined components: the Extended Mag Release, Extended Slide Lock Lever, and Extended Take Down Lever. Each piece is a direct drop-in replacement for the factory parts, meaning you can upgrade your firearm in minutes without modification.
For anyone carrying a Hellcat in Florida’s coastal environment, the material choice matters. These controls are machined from steel and heat-treated for long-term durability. If you opt for the Chrome finish, the set includes a Chrome Pin Set to replace the factory Blued Steel frame pins. This allows for a fully corrosion-resistant look that holds up against humidity, salt air, and daily sweat exposure. The Chrome Pin Set is included exclusively with the Chrome Control Set.
Each control is extended beyond the factory dimensions to improve manipulation without compromising concealment. The Slide Lock Lever is extended by .050 inches, the Extended Magazine Release by .065 inches, and the Takedown Lever by .020 inches. All three feature serrated faces for positive traction, even with wet or gloved hands. These extensions are designed to give you a more tactile, reliable interface with your pistol during reloads, malfunction clearing, or routine maintenance.
Holster compatibility is a common concern with extended controls. Apex worked directly with four U.S. based holster manufacturers during development. All reported that these extended controls did not affect holster fit or function. That said, individual holster designs vary, so it is always smart to test retention and draw after installation.
