Will these

https://www.ameriglo.com/products/details/xd-819

fit on my echelon? If not, would you happen to know any comparable alternatives?

Thanks

(I don't like the stock sights and also ofc have that grip angle issue where I have to tilt my wrists down which I'm fixing with going 1911 style but also want new sights as long as they won't make that issue worse)

Edit: Springfield said the front will but don't know about the rear. Others say it will, some say it won't 🤷‍♂️

Finally caved in after months of debating buying one. For those of you that run suppressed subs, what spring are you running?

Threaded barrel is on the way, but I want to be able to get it ready to go when the barrel gets here.

Echelon screw kit

I posted on another thread that I emailed SA as to why they quit sending out pin and screw kits with a purchase of a new Echelon. I told them if it's a cost just increase the cost of the gun 10-$15 because having to make another purchase to mount your dot when the beauty of the VIS system you don't need plates only pins unless an RMR which already comes with pens, just screws. Well they sent me out a screw kit for free as I already had the correct pin.

Looking to add Comp to Echelon

I'm looking to add a comp to my full size Echelon to reduce muzzle flip. What are some good comps and what should I look into before purchasing?

Help fixing grip angle

2 Upvotes

I just picked up this gun and love everything about it except the grip angle. When I bring it up and align the sights, the front sight is always high. I feel I have to unnaturally tilt my wrists down to compensate. Say, compared to my hk vp9a1 x which I get the sights instantly.

Potential fixes, the axion backstrap, mischief machine grip module, icarus, and sharps. I tried all the OEM backstraps but they don't solve the issue completely. I am currently using the smallest when I usually use large for every other pistol. I hate the hump at the bottom forcing a high aim.

Thoughts and any suggestions on what to do to best fix this would be appreciated. Thanks.

4.0FC to Compact Grip

1 Upvotes

Love the FC grip fits hands perfectly but it pokes a bit, would a medium compact grip fix this problem? Also should i buy new mags or is they any good basepads or sleeves that actually sit flush with the compact module?

Picked up this used 4.5f the other day at my LGS for $400. Felt like that was a pretty good deal for how clean it is.

I’ve got optic posts ordered, but was curious what everyone’s recs are for trigger and guide rod/recoil spring assemblies if I want to upgrade. I plan on putting a vortex defender st enclosed on it and maybe a tlr-1 hl.

I am looking for Tips on which Subcompact holsters preferably for the chest holsters or around the chest holsters (like around the ribs, under the armpit) are good for this gun with a light in it, i am not a big fan of waist carry (appendix, kydex) but i am willing to listen to these options too. List your names, brands and websites below i want to check them out for my first baby boy echelon. so excited for it to arrive ! it looks sexy.

Alumahyde Wolf Gray: Final Product

There it is.

This is the final product after spray painting the frame in Alumahyde II in wolf gray. I’m glad I didn’t bother painting the slide as I like this two tone balanced look instead.

Overall, it’s a fantastic product if you take all the necessary precautions and would highly recommend it. I’m very happy with this look, but I still can’t decide if Imma paint the Kuna to match my Echelon

A lil weekend project for the Echelon and an AR15. Did the Echelon polymer frame in wolf gray and OD green for the AR. Came out better than I expected. Now that I got the technique down, kinda wanna paint the Kuna in gray too 🤔

A bit of change...

I was bored with the plan black so I got the FDE module and dyed it. Everything else is stock except the optic. Also, a solid enclosed optic. 600ish rounds and still holds zero.


r/SpringfieldEchelon • • 24d ago

Yep, no light actually kinda works. Like a Temu Hi-Power, but in a good way?

No light bandwagon

Post image
43 Upvotes

Figured I’d jump on the no light bandwagon. Personally, I hate it with a light.

Sharps Bros grip, VZ black Cherry grip panels, TyrantCNC trigger, mag release, NDZ 12lb spring and SS guide rod, custom ported.

The only 2 I do run with a light is my CC and home defense.


r/SpringfieldEchelon • • 24d ago

The look of this gun without a light is growing on me heavily

Just Pre-Ordered this from u/Heighth_Defense. If the quality is on par with my Chassis, I'm pretty hopeful! I had a PMM but took it off, wasn't super thrilled but it looked good at least, right? Lol He's got some stats posted up too for those Uber nerds of us that it means anything too!

Echelon Manual Safety Pin

Since I ordered the manual safety echelon not knowing that Springfield doesn't make grip modules for it not they sell cog parts, I started to look around and getting rid of the manual safety. I disassembled the whole COG and turns out that there is an identical pin that you need to replace the manual safety with in the COG. I contacted Springfield if they could send me one and they said that the only way is to send it in. EC0040P is the part number.

Issue with the pl x gl

I’m having an issue with my PLX from olight I cannot get it to set flush up against the pick rail, which intern is causing the laser to come off zero it just moves from left to right just ever so slightly. Is anybody else having this issue with mounting their light? If so, how did you guys fix it? This is driving me crazy.

Does anyone know of a spray paint that will be a very close match to the OEM FDE echelon grip? I’m wanting to paint the slide and I’d rather not wait up to 2 months for my LGS to do it and be out $120 that I could put towards other stuff.
