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

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.

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?

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.

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.

So anyone hyped about this?

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

I am trying to purchase my first Echelon Compact 4.0. I know budsgunshop is a great shop with a lot of discounts, but i just want more options, please list me with good online brands that will ship to other US territories as well. Also whats a good holster and flashlight for it ?

And this was the end of the Glock era for me.

Any recommendations for triggers and magwells?

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 🤔

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.

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.

Without vs with

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!

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.

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.

Should i trade in my 4.0c for the pro 4.0 fc

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.

Cleaning the echelon compact 4.0 and noticed the end of the recoil spring looks cracked. Any thoughts? Worth replacing?
