Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0 Compact

The Echelon 4.0 Compact from Springfield Armory and HS Product sets a new standard for modern, striker-fired duty pistols. With a host of patent-pending features, this modular and highly adaptable handgun is designed around a robust stainless steel chassis and revolutionary optics mounting system.

Engineered for carry, the new Springfield Armory and HS Produkt Echelon 4.0C retains the key features of the full-size model, with a shorter 4-inch barrel and compact frame for enhanced concealability. The serialized Central Operating Group is housed in a compact frame, offering a 15-round capacity with the flush magazine and 18 rounds with the extended magazine.

THE PERFECT FIT

The Central Operating Group can be installed in any Echelon grip module allowing shooters to create a firearm that fits perfectly in your hand. The pistol comes standard with the medium grip module and three interchangeable backstraps while small and large frames can be purchased separately.

3 BACKSTRAP SIZES

The Echelon ships with three backstraps – each with an integrated armorers tool. These patent-pending backstraps are universal and can be installed in the small, medium, and large grip frames.

ADAPTIVE GRIP TEXTURE

Developed for the challenges of concealed carry, the Adaptive Grip Texture feels smooth to the touch until you apply pressure and engage the more aggressive texture just below the surface.

TEXTURED INDEXING POINTS

Common indexing points on the Echelon are textured for an extra-firm grip.

The Echelon employs a newly developed magazine for rugged durability, hard use and reliable operation. Blacked out in an all new scratch and wear resistant coating, the magazine features a capacity of 17+1 in its flush fit configuration and 20+1 with the extended base pad installed. A low capacity 10-round model is also available.

The Echelon’s patent-pending trigger harnesses the advantages of the Central Operating Group to deliver superior performance. Entirely contained within the chassis, critical components are machined from tool steel and highly polished for a clean take up, defined wall, crisp break and short, positive reset. The result is a trigger that redefines expectations.

Built with safety in mind, the Echelon is designed and tested to exceed SAAMI drop test parameters by adhering to even tougher standards – our own. In addition to passing rigorous testing, the Echelon’s Central Operating Group features a unique second sear design to help prevent unintentional discharge should the firearm be dropped. Field stripping the Echelon is toolless and requires no pull of the trigger.

The Echelon comes standard with the tactical rack U-Notch rear sight and a tritium front sight with luminescent ring. A tritium 3-dot configuration is also available. Optional suppressor height sights are available for purchase. Combining these options with native optics support the Echelon represents the most dynamic sighting system on the market.
