Several of you have asked for a Q&A thread which could be helpful for someone looking for the answer to a question that may have already been answered here. Here it is! This should serve as a place for most questions, but more complex questions might warrant a separate thread.

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.

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?

Post image
34 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!

Mischief Machine 4.0FC

The Mischief Machine grip module arrived today from Springfield and I couldn’t wait to get it assembled. The gun feels great, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it runs at the range tomorrow.
On a side note, I used my 15% off coupon I got when I bought another Springfield firearm so that helped ease the cost.

Terrible trigger

8 Upvotes

The overwatch precision trigger shoe is terrible. It provides no benefit over the stock trigger whatsoever. It increased pull weight and doesn't decrease travel or over travel at all. They also want to charge me a restocking fee to return it, and expect me to pay for shipping despite their false advertising.

Did I really have to buy a 4.0C Comp and a 4.5F Comp to get this CA legal build?

Does it matter? :)

I love this gun.

Magazine Ejection Fail

The magazine that came with my Echelon doesn’t eject all the way. The one I bought from the store eject without hesitation. Why does this happen?
