SPRINGFIELD ECHELON LOW CAPACITY 9MM PISTOL W/ 2-10 ROUND MAGAZINES

Engineered with superior ergonomics and built to withstand the harshest conditions, the Echelon 4.5″ 9mm handgun sets a new standard for modern, striker-fired duty pistols. With a host of patent pending features, this modular pistol is designed around a robust stainless steel chassis. In addition, a revolutionary optics mounting system allows for unparalleled adaptability with a broad range of optics. Fully ambidextrous, the Echelon features a U-Dot sight system for fast target acquisition and includes two magazines.

Built with safety in mind, the Echelon is designed and tested to exceed SAAMI drop test parameters by adhering to even tougher standards – our own. In addition to passing rigorous testing, the Echelon’s Central Operating Group features a unique second sear design to help prevent unintentional discharge should the firearm be dropped. Field stripping the Echelon is toolless and requires no pull of the trigger.

RMR OPTIC IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THIS FIREARM.

Variable Interface System:

Concealed beneath the slide cover plate is the Echelon’s patent-pending optic mounting system. The Variable Interface System (VIS) allows users to mount over 30 optics directly to the slide without the use of adapter plates. Simply configure the self-locking pins for the footprint of your desired optic to achieve a low, direct mount for improved sight picture and intuitive alignment.

The Variable Interface System (VIS) employs patent-pending self-locking pins to complete the most advanced optics mounting system on the market. As the mounting screws are torqued to spec, the pins exert lateral pressure on the optic’s interior mounting surface to eliminate variance and left/right movement. The result is an unparalleled fit between the slide and a wide variety optics.

Central Operating Group:

At the heart of the Echelon lies the all-new Central Operating Group (COG). Employing cutting edge manufacturing techniques, the COG is entirely self-contained and serialized allowing it to be easily moved between grip modules in seconds. Precision built from stainless steel, the chassis provides a robust housing for its patent-pending operating system.

Trigger:

The Echelon’s trigger harnesses the advantages of the Central Operating Group to deliver superior performance. Entirely contained within the chassis, critical components are machined from tool steel and highly polished for a clean take up, defined wall, crisp break and short, positive reset. The result is a trigger that redefines expectations.

Sighting System:

The Echelon comes standard with the tactical rack U-Notch rear sight and a tritium front sight with luminescent ring. A tritium 3-dot configuration is also available. Optional suppressor height sights are available for purchase. Combining these options with native optics support the Echelon represents the most dynamic sighting system on the market.

Hammer Forged Barrel: 

The hammer forged Echelon barrel is manufactured for elite performance. Long regarded as the gold standard in barrel making the hammer forging process produces a stronger barrel with a smoother surface for ultimate accuracy and service life. Melonite® coated for corrosion and wear resistance, choose between a 4.5” standard or a 5.28” threaded barrel with ½ x 28 thread pitch.

Low Capacity Magazine:

The low capacity variant of the Echelon ships with two 10-round magazines for those in capacity restricted areas.

Engaging Slide Design:

Thoroughly tested for ease of manipulation, the Echelon’s slide features four distinct engagement surfaces. A trench cut forward of the action gives shooters a natural index location for press checks and charging the firearm. The back of the slide is flared for positive purchase while deep forward and rear serrations are carried through the corners for a firm grip from any angle.

Aggressive Serrations: 

Deeply machined crisp serrations offer a strong grip in any condition.

Flared Slide:

Further enhancing the ability to manipulate the firearm the rear of the slide is flared for additional engagement.

Three Backstrap Sizes:

The Echelon ships with three backstraps – each with an integrated armorers tool. Backstraps are universal and can be installed in the small, medium, and large grip frames.

Three Grip Sizes:

Alternative grip modules give shooters the ability to find a configuration that fits them best. Available in small, medium, and large, each grip module accepts the Central Operating Group and all three backstraps.

Adaptive Grip Texture:

Developed for the challenges of concealed carry, the Adaptive Grip Texture feels smooth to the touch until you apply pressure and engage the more aggressive texture just below the surface.

Oversize Trigger Guard:

Oversized for use with gloved hands, the Echelon features an enlarged trigger guard that is undercut.

Ambidextrous: 

The Echelon is equipped with an ambidextrous slide stop and magazine release for intuitive use.

Textured Indexing Points: 

Common indexing points on the Echelon are textured for an extra-firm grip.
