it confused me a bit too Leo. The Hellcat 5 has nothing

in common with the stretch frame. Here is the post from below..

The Hellcat 5 will work with any cartridge the original Hellcat handles. The reason for the different logo is the total reworking of the rear of the frame. Not just grinding or adding steel, but a total reworking of the frame itself. I wanted the taper and angle of the dangle that the #5 gripframe has but to do this required changing the entire back of the frame from below the hammer to the bottom of the gripframe. In other words changing the bear to a cat.

Some may not want that configuration but for those that have large or wide hands it will be a welcome change. For those with smaller hands the standard Hellcat is the way to go. So there is a Hellcat and a Hellcat 5.
