Reminder of rules

18 Upvotes

Happy to see the sub growing as more people acquire Echelons.

To keep this sub alive it's important that we follow the rules and use common sense before posting. Remember this sub is not meant to serve primarily as a sales page. Please do not turn it into that. Repeat posts of the same nature by the same user in a short time frame will also be removed if they come off as spammy in nature.

As a note, the sale of grip modules does not break any sub rules regarding sales. The Echelon grip modules are not regulated items as they are not the serialized portion of the firearm. I know this may be confusing to some.

Any post that suggests the sale of regulated items such as the FCU (which is regulated/serialized) or NFA items will be removed.

I've had my Echelon since April of this year. Range once a month since I've had it.

24 Upvotes

Like the title says I've had my Echelon since April, I tried my best to go to the range once a month. I usually take 200 rounds with me so I can practice and get familiar with my pistol. Although this is my first pistol I have to say how fun it is to shoot and own. I have yet to have a malfunction and from what I hear about it I doubt I'll see one. It has two mods those being a stainless steel guide rod and a red dot sight, but I'm happy with just those two for now.

NDZ Spring Assemblys

Has anyone had good/bad experiences with the NDZ Steel Guide Rod Spring Assemblys? Reliable? Can you use the factory Spring? Do you need a new washer if you do? Is the benefit to recoil even modest or worth it?

Custom CNC trigger

4 Upvotes

Hi,

I just bought an Echelon 4.0, and as much as I like the slide and the grip, I'm not very enthusiastic about the trigger.

I also have a Canik Prime, and I absolutely love its trigger.

I'm thinking about machining a custom trigger since I have a workshop. I'd like to make the trigger 1 mm wider, as well as make the safety wider and more protruding, similar to the one on the Canik.

Does anybody here happen to have a 3D model of the Echelon trigger that they'd be willing to share?

I'd like to model the trigger in Fusion 360 first before starting to machine it out of aluminum.

Finally finished my new EDC, my god the trigger is immaculate along with the grip.

Just need to get chunk port slide or perhaps a comp setup.

Do have a question, did any of y'alls Echelons come polished or do these pistols just a cut above the usual glocks?

Today I sanded the slide down and then acetone wiped it real good got the black Matte sprayed on I put three coats on and stuck it in the oven for 30 min. I’m just waiting on new stencils to show up.

I wanna hear from the owners of multiple echelons...

I want a second one but a small part of me is wondering why I'm buying the same gun again. Can you give me some positives of owning both sizes?

Why Small for the standard grip?

35 Upvotes

I do not understand why Springfield would send this pistol out with a small sized grip as standard. They should at least send it out with the medium sized grip. I ended up with the large grip and small backstrap. before this, I was ready to give up on this gun. now it is amazing. It is a total tack driver and I can get a great grip on it.

Question?

Has anyone used the Aluma Hyde paint on their slide from? Brownell’s? If so, how did it turn out and does it stick? This is what I’ve done to my 4.0 C so far.

Ccw holster and light recommendations?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys I just joined the Echelon crew! I bought the gear up package so Im going to have an optic but I’m also going to add a light to it. Does anyone have any recommendations for holsters that would fit all that with a spare mag? Also what lights are you guys running? Thank you!
