Hey, everyone! Adam from Firearms Depot here, and I’m thrilled to talk to you about the exciting new pistol on the market – the Springfield Echelon. I know what you might be thinking, “There are already plenty of polymer-framed 9mm pistols out there, so why another one?” Well, that’s because Springfield has taken the best elements from other popular handguns and combined them to create something truly extraordinary. Let’s dive into the details and see what makes the Echelon stand out from the crowd.
The Perfect Blend of Modularity and Reliability: The Echelon takes inspiration from two top contenders in the handgun world – the Sig Sauer P320 and the Glock. It combines the modularity of the P320 with the low bore axis and reliability of the Glock, resulting in a pistol that excels in various aspects right out of the box. Its 4.5-inch barrel ensures precision, making it a versatile choice for both professionals and enthusiasts alike.
Extended Magazine Capacity: As gun enthusiasts, we all appreciate a higher round count, and the Springfield Echelon delivers. It comes standard with two 17-round magazines, and to our delight, each magazine includes an extension, bumping the capacity to an impressive 20 rounds. Unfortunately, if you reside in magazine capacity-restricted states, you’ll get the legally compliant versions. For the rest of us in “free America,” these high-capacity mags are a welcomed addition.
Enhanced Package with Multiple Barrel Configurations: Springfield doesn’t skimp on value when it comes to the Echelon. It arrives in a sleek carrying case, providing added protection when storing it in your safe. Moreover, it comes with two different sighting systems and barrel configurations. You can choose between the Hi-Vis front sight and standard sights, as well as threaded and non-threaded barrel options, ensuring that you find the perfect setup to match your preferences.
Red Dot Sight Compatibility Done Right: One of the standout features of the Springfield Echelon is its RDS (Red Dot Sight) compatibility. Unlike other pistols in the market, this one doesn’t require a secondary mounting plate. Instead, the RDS mounts directly into the slide, providing a robust and secure connection. Delta Point Pro and RMR users will rejoice as they can seamlessly attach their optics without any additional hassle.
Impressive Modularity and Ambi Controls: Springfield empowers users with the ability to customize their Echelon pistols. The adjustable back straps allow for a perfect fit, accommodating small, medium, and large hand sizes. Additionally, the firearm boasts Ambidextrous slide release and magazine release controls, catering to left-handed shooters as well.
Final Thoughts: With a price tag of just $599, the Springfield Echelon offers incredible value for gun enthusiasts looking to add a reliable, feature-packed pistol to their collection. The Echelon’s modular design, red dot sight compatibility, and extended magazine capacity make it an exceptional choice for a wide range of applications, from duty carry to competition shooting.
Springfield’s recent releases have been nothing short of impressive, breathing new life into the brand. The Echelon, with its innovative design and exceptional performance, has undoubtedly become a frontrunner in the polymer-framed 9mm pistol market.
