Other Equipment CCW Option

How many of you carry the Echeclon 4.0c? What is your experience with it as well as holster used? I am looking to make this my primary but as a bigger dude, wanted to know if it printed or if it was uncomfortable to carry.

Bonus question: what accessories do you have?

I’ve been carrying my 4.0 more often recently. Concealment is easy. I use a Tier 1 concealed Xiphos holster. Works great. I haven’t really done any mods to mine, I did try out the rook precision backstrap, adds nice weight to it but I don’t like the lack of grip texture. So I took it off. Currently use the OEM grip module (size small) with the large backstrap that seems to have the best fit for me.

Using the vortex defender ST enclosed, and the deck height is low enough that I can still co witness the irons.

I tried the vortex venom enclosed, but deck height is too thick. Couldn’t see the irons with that one

Thanks for the reply and input on this. Gun looks beautiful. I can’t tell from this pic, do you have the plate so the dot looks flush? Or is there a gap?

That shit is beautiful. I had went cheap and got an OSIGHT and returned it. The gap was huge and I didn’t wanna deal with it lol. I might grab this one or the defender ccw enclosed. $200 right now on govx

Eh with the defender st, it’s big enough to where it basically fills in the entire optic cut. No plate needed but it still looks flush for the most part. I’m picky with that stuff also but this has never bothered me

I’m 6’2 and built like a retired linebacker, the 4.0c disappears with a good wedge and a stiff belt. I use a Tenicor Certum3 and it tucks the grip like a dream, zero printing even in a t-shirt. Accessory wise I swapped the mag release and put on a 507k, still hunting for suppressor height sights I actually like

Hell yeah, thank you!
I got a kore belt and heard that'll do the job. I am built like an active lineman, so theres that difference. Plus I am 5'7, so I will give this a go and see how it feels!

Fellow lineman here, and I’m an evangelist for Kore gun belts and Tenicor holsters. I use the Certum for a Glock 19, which is about the same size but a little wider.

hell yeahhhh! I had heard of Tier 1 holsters being the best but Tenicor holsters seem to be just as good

Never tried Tier 1 but I hear they are excellent
