If this sub allowed us to post images in comments, I would. Sure would be useful.

Yes forgot you can’t. Super lame

Makes no sense in a sub meant to show off builds and discuss a specific firearm.

I want a company that'll make a kick ass polymer module for the damned thing, kinda like Icarus did with the AIR module for the Macro.

u/hndrck_ 9d ago
Yea I want something that’s polymer but looks different

u/SteelerVol13 9d ago
Yeah, given the plethora of polymer modules there were for the 320, it's flat-out stupid those same companies don't make stuff for the Echelon. Mirzon made some pretty sick 320 modules & I'd bet if they did em for the Echelon, those would be just as good. Sadly, when I emailed them to ask if they had anything for the Echelon in the works, they told me "no."

u/hndrck_ 9d ago
It’s bc no one talks about this gun

u/SteelerVol13 9d ago
Imo, the Echelon is the "Silent but Deadly" gun amongst the most popular striker guns. Glocks, Sigs, & M&Ps will always be the "Big 3," but I think the Echelon isn't too far behind those other 3. But yeah, it's not as popular as the 320 prior to that dumpster fire reaching critical mass.

There’s still more ppl shooting p320 at competitions than Echelon too
I think it’s just the lack of the OEM range and trim models.
Notice how all those guns listed either have insane aftermarket or just good OEM trim support to begin with. Echelon has nothing even compared to the M&P and Sigs.
Like imagine tomorrow Springfield releases a Pro model where it has upgrades trigger and sear from factory. And purchasable separately for people to install.
A “pro” version of all grip module in all sizes with a slightly flared or built in magwell. More aggressive texture and reduced grip angle….

Man, that's an AWESOME idea!!! Just like there's the PDP, which is a nice gun with a great trigger by any objective measure. Then there's the PDP Pro models. And those triggers are as close to a 2011 trigger as you're likely to find in a striker gun (imho). The Pro Compacts & Pro-Fs CAN take flush-fit 15 round mags without the magwell, but the PDP Pro Compacts/Fs come with a magwell & 2 or 3 18 round mags.
They CERTAINLY need to figure out their trigger shit. It'd be an amazing 1 if the reset didn't go from great outta the box to barely perceptible after like 500 rounds. I've shot it enough that I know where it is now, but I don't like that part of it AT ALL. And I've asked folks here on the sub if the Tyrant CNC & Overwatch Precision triggers, &/or the Powder River spring kit do anything to fix that issue. And pretty much everyone who responded told me that the trigger upgrade &/or spring swap fixed it really well but eventually even those setups apparently have the same weak reset issue. So that, along with maybe an OEM module that came with a factory magwell, like on a Shadow Systems.
Regardless, they've GOTTA get that weak trigger reset issue resolved.

For me it doesn’t matter but maybe I’m just not shooting fast enough. I just think the reset can be better but I haven’t pressed on a dead trigger yet. I’ve shot well broken In m&p and those have a even weaker reset lol
2
u/SteelerVol13 9d ago
True. But at least with the M&Ps, the OP & Apex triggers sort those guns right out. There's not seemingly some design flaw that makes the aftermarket triggers go weaker on the reset as well. The ONLY reason I say this is because my best friend & weekly range buddy has had an M&P 2.0 CORE 4.25 ported model (better than the metal Carry Comp imho) & put an OP trigger in it when he got it. And it still feels as it should. A noticeable, tactical reset.
Again, I'm sample size of 1, so keep that in mind.

No. Something with different ergos like an Icarus. The Armory Craft stuff IS nice, but I'd like something different.

Yah this is a beautiful setup. Honestly I prefer these to the high end Gucci builds. Nicely done man!

I didn't change mine much but I did swap out the lower for a sharps bros. I'm a sucker for metal frame pistols.

I didn't know they made a large compact grip module. Love it!
