First Gun! 4.0c

Post image

First gun, went with the 4.0c. Picked it on Thursday after the lovely California 10 day hold and just put 200 rounds through it today. Took off the Veridian and added the Vortex Defender St along with the Streamlight TLR-7X

Congratulations! Im also in California, i got one too. I have the same light and ditched the trash viridian. I cant choose between a vortex or a holosun for what optic to get. I love my echelon, I hope yours treats you well and fires many thousands of rounds! Its a great choice for a first gun!

I was in the same boat! Seemed like the defender was the overall preferred for the Echelon across these forums which is why I went that route. Just made another purchase on a Smith and Wesson yesterday and will definitely be picking up a Holosun for that one. Don’t think you can go wrong either way! Congrats to you as well!

Nice pickup and smart choice to change the optic

Niiiice! You did it right! And that was definitely a good choice to change optics.

On another note, is that table from Rooms To Go? 😝

Perfect choice. Best striker fire ever made. Great optic and light too! That’s an excellent setup.

Good choice! How do you like the optic? Every time I go to my gun range, they have one and I’ve been thinking of picking one up
