For quite some time,
Springfield Armory has
been hinting about their latest product. Today, they finally revealed their
new Echelon pistol in its entirety. Upon initial observation, the Echelon
seems to bear resemblance to the design of Glock handguns, but it is indeed a
brand-new creation and not an imitation of Glock's models.
The Echelon is equipped
with a detachable stainless steel structure, known as the Central Operating
Group (COG), which is the serialized part of the handgun. This is akin to
the design of the SIG P320. The COG, responsible for a clean 4.5-5.0-lb
trigger pull, is nestled in a swappable polymer grip module. The grip
modules are available in various sizes and each Echelon is packaged with
three diverse size backstraps to allow for customization according to the
user's preference.
The slide of the Echelon is textured meticulously, offering a sturdy grip
and enhancing the overall aesthetics. The base model is fitted with
day/night sights that perform exceptionally well. An intriguing feature of
the Echelon is its optics mounting mechanism known as the Variable Interface
System (VIS). The slide is designed for direct mounting of nearly all
varieties of red dot optics available in the market. It features several
sets of screw holes and comes with pin sets that interact with the optic's
base. The steel magazines are designed specifically for the Echelon model.
The flat magazines have a capacity of 17 rounds, and each standard pistol
comes with one 17-round flat magazine and an extended magazine that can hold
up to 20 rounds.
This firearm is available at starting at $599.99 at the time of this article.
