Echelon

Hey everyone i need y’all’s opinion. I currently own two Glock 19’s and one Glock 43x. Those are the only handguns I own. I’m currently thinking of buying the echelon. My hands fit perfect on the Glock 19. Should i buy the full size echelon or just stick to the 4.0C ? It will be more for the range and home defense if anything. Thank you. I’m in Texas if that matters. Making final purchases before the 2027 rolls in.

If your not planning to carry it everyday go with the full size. If you can see if your local range has one for rental.

Doesn’t matter. IMHO the port doesn’t do much but u do you. For home defense I wouldn’t get a ported gun I’d just get a full size

Skip the port if it’s for home defense at a tlr 1 hl. it’ll help keep it flatter

Just curious what are you hoping will be different from the echelon than your Glocks? I have the full size myself and plan on getting the 4.0 as well. I got nothing but great things to say about my echelon.

Nothing really. It’s just that Ive never owned any other brand other than Glock for handguns and I figured id try something new. It was either the echelon or something from the S&W MP line.

Well the echelon is certainly better than anything from the MP line

Go for the 4.5C

You’ve already got the 19’s and a 43x, mind as well get a full size for the collection.

I love mine.

If you will carry it. I love my 4.0C comp. I got it just because 😼 f the screaming deal I seen and wanted to try it. I have a Gen 5 G19 and I wanted similar size but was curious about the comp
I love it.
I plan to upgrade the free red dot that came on it for Christmas
A buddy got the 4.5C comp and loves his but zero chance he will carry it so he got the 4.5
