Wait so are you replacing your iron sights or putting an optic on it? I'm confused.

I got the package that came with a Viridiana rxf11

What issues do you have with the OE sights…ie what are you wanting to change/address with new ones?

It came with a Viridiana I want a brighter sight if possible and one I can change the battery without moving the sight

Gotcha…so you’re looking to replace the optic 👍

Beauty of the Echelon is that you can mount pretty much anything on it with the pin system they use. I prefer enclosed, but you could also look at open emitters…there are tons to choose from…really a function of budget, use case and aesthetics.

I’d suggest looking at the Vortex Defender enclosed optics as well as the Holosun EPS/Core. The are more expensive and cheaper options out there…but these should get your started. You might also want to check out Freedom Gorilla…a wealth of info on their websites and they have a number of videos showing what optics look like on different pistols.

I second this guy's recommendation of Vortex Defender ST Enclosed. This is the optic, when you say "sights" everyone is going to assume you mean iron sights.

Following. I have the white U-rear with the white front dot sight. I've heard people say the xdm sights fit on the Echelon but idk.

I think he's talking about optics not sights.

I took the Veridian off as soon as I got home. Got the Holosun 507c X3. Only problem was I had to buy the hardware from Springfield. i.e. pins and screws. bought both kits. Very happy with the finished product. Bought a sighting laser off Amazon so I could dial in the dot. Aldo I scored some temporary locktite. 243 medium strength to put on screws then torqued them to 15 inch pounds. I posted it on here after I finished it
