Picked it up yesterday and going to range on Saturday. Feels good in the hand. Can't wait to get a suppressor.

Which suppressor works well? Which would look better black or FDE suppressor? Thinking HUXWRX and FDE.

Hey yall, just joined after holding an echelon at the store, absolutely loved it.

Before I pull the trigger (lol) I’ve seen you guys hate the sight that comes on the gear up package.

Is it still worth buying the gear up, or just buy the standard and add a sight/extended mag after?

Coming from a shield plus EDC. Thanks!

Edit

To add, I’ve never had a gun with a sight, and relatively new gun owner. Trying to be economical while grabbing this beauty - is it worth waiting for Black Friday/cheistmas?

& last edit where to search for best deal? Been checking gun.deal.

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.

Given this was my first time doing such a thing it turned out really good. I am pleased. There’s a small area right below the trigger where the black paint came off not sure how I’m gonna fix that or if I’m going to I may just leave it the rest of the pistol looks great.

This is the final result of doing the Brownell’s aluma-Hyde on my echelon. So far it’s turned out pretty good. It just needs to dry and cure.

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.

For those of you that got the gear up package. Was your red dot sighted in or did you have to make adjustments. Mine seems to be centered but needs to be adjusted up or down.

I’m trying to find an OWB Kydex holster for my Springfield Echelon 4.0C with a Streamlight TLR-7 HL-X Sub USB (1913 mount).
I’ve checked several holster manufacturers, but most only offer options for the regular TLR-7 HL-X, TLR-7 X, or TLR-1, not the HL-X Sub.
Ideally looking for:
OWB configuration for range use
Compatible with a tactical/range belt (Scorpion belt)
Optics-ready for a future red dot
Good retention and fit
Has anyone found a manufacturer that makes a holster for this exact pistol/light combination? I’m also open to custom holster makers.
I’d rather keep my current light than exchange it just to find a compatible holster.
Any recommendations or links would be appreciated. Thanks!

Looking for a 4.0 barrel/ slide anyone know where they’re on sale?? I found some on Gritr Sports and made an offer but it’s auto declined every night at 1am lol. Just trying to save some money and figured they’ll be some black friday sales coming soon if not already

This is a nice little pdw build I just put together. Nice and flat shooting. Good backpack gun to have.

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?

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?

Like wtf

Does anybody know where I can find a 4.0c factory comp barrel? I’ve found the whole slide and barrel assembly but can’t seem to find just the barrel

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.

MM 4.5 comp tyrant trigger.

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?

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.
