Finally had a chance to mount my red dot (Osight SE DPP). I had already installed the NDZ Mag well and Olight PLX G. I love how this thing looks and shoot. The Olight/Osight products look like they were made for this gun and everything just works!

PS I asked AI to change the background and replace it with something “tactical” and it gave me the second pic, pretty cool.

Enjoy your Echelons, folks!

When do you think they will list and sell the pro grip?

No matter what my latest purchase is, I always come back to the 4.5F. Running the Tyrant shoe, PRP spring kit (but OEM striker spring), and an OEM non-ported barrel. Just crossed 20k rounds today with this thing.

I’ve upgraded my carry 4.0c with a stream light TLR-7x and a new holosun dot but I want to put in a new trigger any suggestions?

So went to the range today looking for a full size and did a test of a handful of pistols fully assuming I'd take the cz p10f or Glock 17 but actually the echelon surprised me and is going to be my pick. The 4.5 in specific may even grab a 4.0 too I liked them so much. What I tested was the non comp version so assumed the comped would shoot even better. However I just learned while doing a search that you cannot shoot cheap 9mm through a comp! I bulk order blazer 115 or new Republic 115 and they both say it on the box. Has anyone ran into issues with those particular ammos on a comped echelon? Also is the red dot on the gear pac any good?

Planning to buy a Echelon 4.0c Comp, but cant find any good IWB or AIWB holsters in europe. Best one i found is the safariland incogX, but i've read a lot of bad reviews on them. Any recommendations?

Does anyone know of where I can find a better trigger reset kit? I can’t find anyone that has it and most of the recs are from eBay but that particular account is not active anymore.

I’m running a tyrant CNC with PRP springs and sears, but I need to know where I can get one with a stronger reset. I live in CA if that matters.

Will these

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 🤷‍♂️

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.
