What if you wanted to customize it? Apex Tactical offers a range of options for you to upgrade your\u00a0pistol.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But, those who know me know that I can\u2019t leave well enough alone. Is the Pro ready to go for EDC right out of the box? Yes, most definitely. But, I love to customize my guns and gear. And why not? We choose our clothing based upon our personalities and lifestyles. We lift our trucks, lower our cars, manicure our lawns, style our hair, etc. Why? We do all these things because, at least to my mind, there\u2019s always a better, cooler, or just different way of doing things based on what fits my needs.<\/p>\n<p>This is particularly true for me regarding my firearms. From <a class=\"ajax-article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/common-coatings-and-finishes-for-modern-guns\/\">Cerakote finishes<\/a> to optics, triggers, extended magazines, magwells and more, the list is just about endless. For me, I have fun guns, range guns, vault guns and my carry gun. Each of those has a different level of customization. For my carry gun, I am very strict on the brands I choose for any parts replacements or upgrades, as I trust this pistol with my life.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-37387\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/apex-upgrades-for-hellcat-pro.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/apex-upgrades-for-hellcat-pro-800x534.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/apex-upgrades-for-hellcat-pro-400x267.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/apex-upgrades-for-hellcat-pro-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/apex-upgrades-for-hellcat-pro-600x400.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"934\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/apex-upgrades-for-hellcat-pro.jpg\" alt=\"apex upgrades for hellcat pro\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/apex-upgrades-for-hellcat-pro.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/apex-upgrades-for-hellcat-pro-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/apex-upgrades-for-hellcat-pro-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/apex-upgrades-for-hellcat-pro-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/apex-upgrades-for-hellcat-pro-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Here are the parts offered by Apex Tactical Specialties that were installed by the author on his Hellcat\u00a0Pro.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I also want my carry gun to reflect my personality and be unique to me while also being reliable. That last point is non-negotiable. For quality parts that not only enhance my pistol, but perform every time I need them to, I look to Apex Tactical Specialties for EDC mods. Apex has committed a lot of effort and attention to the Hellcat family since its launch, no doubt because they recognized it as a popular and extremely capable EDC pistol. The result is a line of rock-solid parts that can be trusted to work every time.<\/p>\n<h2>Custom Finish on My Hellcat Pro<\/h2>\n<p>I also decided to drop my Hellcat Pro off at one of my favorite Cerakote companies in the country, Koted Arms. Luckily for me, he\u2019s only an hour drive away. When I work with J.D. over at Koted Arms, I like to give him a base idea and then let him \u201crun with it\u201d and exercise his creativity and artistry. My direction to him on this one was to do a desert tiger stripe camo theme, but to take creative liberty where he saw fit.<\/p>\n<p>A week later, I got my Hellcat back looking better than ever. J.D. painted his version of the tiger stripe camo with great detail and a perfect palette of colors. I know the stock gun in black is just fine, but tweaks like this make me feel that much more connected to my EDC pistol. It\u2019s mine, and there is none other like it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-37388\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/custom-cerakote-kinish-on-hellcat-pro.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/custom-cerakote-kinish-on-hellcat-pro-800x533.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/custom-cerakote-kinish-on-hellcat-pro-400x267.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/custom-cerakote-kinish-on-hellcat-pro-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/custom-cerakote-kinish-on-hellcat-pro-600x400.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/custom-cerakote-kinish-on-hellcat-pro.jpg\" alt=\"custom cerakote kinish on hellcat pro\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/custom-cerakote-kinish-on-hellcat-pro.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/custom-cerakote-kinish-on-hellcat-pro-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/custom-cerakote-kinish-on-hellcat-pro-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/custom-cerakote-kinish-on-hellcat-pro-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/custom-cerakote-kinish-on-hellcat-pro-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Custom finishes, like this Cerakote finish from Koted Arms, allow you to best fit the pistol to your preferences or\u00a0style.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Custom Parts from Apex Tactical<\/h2>\n<p>While the finish is certainly eye-catching and attractive, there\u2019s now more to this Hellcat Pro than just its looks.

It is a direct replacement for the factory slide lock and offers increased purchase for your thumb to lock the slide to the rear. This makes field stripping and clearing malfunctions a little bit easier for the user.

I\u2019ve toured the Apex facility twice now, getting a peek at every process their parts go through, and it\u2019s one of the reasons why I trust their parts with my life. Their dedication to quality without compromise is obvious in everything they do.<\/p>\n<h2>Hands-On Review of Apex Upgrades<\/h2>\n<p>Now that I had my Hellcat Pro back from Koted Arms, it was time to install the Apex parts. Another thing I truly appreciate about Apex Tactical is their customer service when it comes to installing their parts. The company produces in-depth install videos for customers that takes them through the entire process. So, whether you take your parts to a gunsmith or do it yourself, you are set.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-37396\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/testing-apex-parts-on-the-range.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/testing-apex-parts-on-the-range-800x533.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/testing-apex-parts-on-the-range-400x267.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/testing-apex-parts-on-the-range-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/testing-apex-parts-on-the-range-600x400.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/testing-apex-parts-on-the-range.jpg\" alt=\"testing apex parts on the range\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/testing-apex-parts-on-the-range.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/testing-apex-parts-on-the-range-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/testing-apex-parts-on-the-range-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/testing-apex-parts-on-the-range-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/testing-apex-parts-on-the-range-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">To ensure reliability, the author extensively tested the parts in his Hellcat Pro on the\u00a0range.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The installation process of all the parts was smooth and easy for me, with the Action Enhancement Trigger being the most complex.

I also happened to have a JK Armament CCX suppressor that I tested out. The cool thing about the CCX is that it\u2019s so small and lightweight that it doesn\u2019t need a booster. It was awesome to be able to run a small suppressor on the Hellcat Pro, which performed great while also being hearing-safe.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>I had a blast customizing my EDC with some trusted Apex parts, as well as a totally custom look provided by Koted Arms.
