FRONT & CENTER

At the heart of the Springfield Armory Echelon™ lies the all-new Central Operating Group. Employing cutting edge manufacturing techniques, the Central Operating Group is entirely self-contained and serialized allowing it to be easily moved between grip modules in seconds. Precision built from stainless steel, the chassis provides a robust housing for its patent-pending operating system.

VISIONARY OPTICS INTEGRATION

Concealed beneath the slide cover plate is the Echelon’s patent-pending optic mounting system. The Variable Interface System allows users to mount over 30 optics directly to the slide without the use of adapter plates. Simply configure the self-locking pins for the footprint of your desired optic to achieve a low, direct mount for improved sight picture and intuitive alignment.

SELF-LOCKING FRONT PINS

The Variable Interface System employs patent-pending self-locking pins to complete the most advanced optics mounting system on the market. As the mounting screws are torqued to spec, the pins exert lateral pressure on the optic’s interior mounting surface to eliminate variance and left/right movement. The result is an unparalleled fit between the slide and a wide variety of optics.

ENGAGING SLIDE DESIGN

Thoroughly tested for ease of manipulation, the Echelon’s patent-pending slide features four distinct engagement surfaces. A trench cut forward of the action gives shooters a natural index location for press checks and charging the firearm. The back of the slide is flared for positive purchase while deep forward and rear serrations are carried through the corners for a firm grip from any angle.

INTEGRAL COMPENSATOR

The new Springfield Armory Echelon™ Comp features an integral compensator discreetly designed with a single port on the top of the hammer-forged slide and barrel. Redirecting gas upwards, it effectively reduces muzzle rise and enhances control. The result is a pistol that delivers faster and more accurate follow-up shots. In addition, the front sight is positioned behind the compensator for an uninterrupted sight picture.

CONFIGURABLE CAPACITY

The Echelon employs a newly developed magazine for rugged durability, hard use, and reliable operation. Blacked out in a scratch and wear-resistant coating, the magazine offers a 9mm capacity of 17+1 in the 4.0FC model.
