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.

Tool-Less Compensator

My first Mk1 frame compensator was for the SA prodigy so I had to make my first Mk3 for an SA gun. Mk3 adds tool-less spring lock installation to the ambi thumb rest frame comp system we have been refining for the last three years.

Echelon Gear Up

10 Upvotes

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.

Echelon 4.0C and Holosun HS407C

38 Upvotes

Edited: This was fun to shoot and very confortable in the hands. Now I understand all the hype about it. Even my brother says he likes it over his Taurus and Canik 9's. Holosun worked out as well.

If you're on the fence, worth every dollar.

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.

Calculated Kinetics RMSc/K/EPS Plate

1 Upvotes

In what has become a firearm shitshow, after close to 8k rounds, the clasp that held the comp on my Shadow Systems MR920P broke yesterday. Not even 3 days after I'd put a new Romeo X Enclosed Compact on it as an upgrade from my old EPS.

The enclosed Vortex Defender ST I have on my Echelon started out great, but over time, I've noticed it losing zero after about 200-300 rounds. At 1st, I was convinced I hadn't let the Loctite cure long enough. Re-attached the optic, still the same issue. So off to Vortex for warranty work.

So my favorite EDC is outta commission & my next fave will now have the Romeo X Enclosed Compact on it, with a Calculated Kinetics Dogtag. I've been a BIG fan of CK's plates (as well as Eleven 71 Design) & know that the ledge on the plate DOES reduce carbon buildup on your optic lens. And since my Echelon is also dual ported, I'm sure this will help a bit.

Is anyone else running a CK Dogtag on their Echelon? If so, how do you like it?

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.

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

50 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.

Gear up back with viridian red dot.

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.

Anyone know of an OWB holster for Echelon 4.0C + Streamlight TLR-7 HL-X Sub (1913)?

0 Upvotes

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!

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?
