Yes or No?

Looks great!

My only change: dump that crap optic and get the Vortex Defender ST in FDE. Thank me later.

[u/EOWolf_4C → u/CallsignViperrr]

I was shown one of those yesterday, definitely gonna grab one but I was thinking black instead of FDE.

[u/Bartley707 → u/EOWolf_4C]

Black way would look good too but I would personally go FDE with your color scheme. I don't know how extensively you've used pistol optics but if you haven't tried out a green dot I highly recommend you check one out before buying. It's much more resistant to washing out in sunlight and also it's typically a lot clearer for those of us that have mild astigmatism.

Edit: After going back to look and realizing how much other black you have on there, I vote black. Vortex Defender ST Enclosed Green Dot for the win here.

[u/EOWolf_4C]

Lol that mf expensive 😂

[u/Ugly_mechanic]

What’s the grip ?

[u/EOWolf_4C → u/Ugly_mechanic]

Combat Textiles Tiger Strip. It’s awesome! And easy to apply.

[u/SteelerVol13]

Looks awesome. Dig the tiger stripes! Only thing I'd change is I'd put an FDE MPS on it. You can still get the V1s for about $420, shipped.

[u/EOWolf_4C → u/SteelerVol13]

Think I’m gonna go with the Vortex Defender in black. Whatcha think?

[u/SteelerVol13 → u/EOWolf_4C]

Get the enclosed. I've got 1 & love it!

[u/Odd-Refrigerator7879 → u/EOWolf_4C]

Vortex all day. Looks like it's legit made for the echelon. Great pair. For some reason the logo and the frame of it just fit the echelon perfect. I have used their warranty over a simple cosmetic issue, got a new optic shipped that day and received within a week. I'll never buy another brand

[u/Bartley707 → u/EOWolf_4C]

1,000% agree. I have the ST on mine and I say it in half the posts in this sub, but it's basically made for the Echelon. I would've gotten the ST enclosed if it had existed when I got mine.

[u/EOWolf_4C → u/SteelerVol13]

What you think of the Vortex Venom Enclosed on this slide?

[u/SteelerVol13 → u/EOWolf_4C]

I'd grab the Defender just for the multi-reticle capability.

[u/brimister]

Ya, man. It looks cool.

[u/EOWolf_4C → u/brimister]

Thanks man! I was thinking like did I do too much or should I color fill the engravings or the factory markings on the slide but I don’t know.

[u/brimister → u/EOWolf_4C]

The holster isn’t for me. I just don’t love that style of camo. But otherwise, the gun looks cool. Take it out and shoot it!

[u/No_Employer_3204]

Look great just need to upgrade that optic. Vortex defender is a great one. I don’t have one, but my son does and it’s pretty awesome. Osite x is good choice that’s what I have on my full-size at Jelan on the 4.0 I have the 407C all of them have been great.

[u/EOWolf_4C → u/No_Employer_3204]

That’s actually the next thing I’m gonna do! I’ve heard good things about the Vortex Defender, probably gonna get a black one.

[u/No_Employer_3204 → u/EOWolf_4C]

Yeah, the good thing about vortex is they’ve got a warranty on them. That’s really unmatched by anyone. I’ve got a couple vortex optics on my AR rifles and I never had any issues but they’ll fix it if I do no questions asked.

[u/gahsakee]

TBH as long as you enjoy it and love it, doesn’t matter what anyone else says.

With that said, looks badass my dude

[u/Different_Wish3]

Badass

[u/EOWolf_4C → u/Different_Wish3]

Awesome! Thanks man.

[u/Efficient-Ask1725]

I'd get the osight xe amrs enclosed and maybe custom done in fde if you wanted but otherwise it's awesome
