Springfield Echelon

[Hworth18]

With over 600 rounds on my first Echelon, I decided to pick up a second one. These are great handguns and I highly recommend picking one up if you haven't already.

I’m currently trying to acquire my second one myself. I think I’ll go with the threaded barrel version this time around. I ordered the small grip module for mine and it even that much better!!

That's great to hear, I also got another grip module, but I just got another medium frame to have it cerakoted.

Took both Echelons to the range, one to zero in the optic and do a function check on the new threaded barrel version and function check the new cerakoted frame on my edc. Both performed flawlessly, the Holosun 507c green dot was almost zeroed in with the first 10 rounds. I put 150 rounds of Sellier and Beloit 124gr ball and 17 rounds of Sig Vcrown Hollow points thru the threaded barrel version. The sight stayed zeroed and had no issues with it loosening up on the slide. Very happy with the performance of each Echelon.

Get thee behind me…. I have too many irons in the fire already!

But, but, but, it's a nine.

I went and handled one of these at H&H and it's taking some convincing on my side that I don't need another gun right now as I'm not making it to the range enough to shoot then ones that I have now. The Echelon looked right, felt right and had a pretty nice trigger, clean break and decent reset.

I was not impressed at all... had one in my hand was going to buy it to do a review on it on Youtube..... the trigger was mushy.... very sig like. I feel like there are better striker fired guns out there for the same money or less. This is just an overgrown hellcat.

Agree. Owning Sig P-320 (full size) and shooting the echelon, they are very similar. The Echelon seems to be a very close copy of the Sig, but certainly does not have the "quality" of a fine tool that the Sig does. The one I shot was not very well finished.

The Echelon doesn't seem to have other features of the P320, either... Like the "self-firing while holstered" feature.

I have owned the SigP320 Compact, X Compact and a Sig Custom Works P320. I think the machining on the Echelon is comparable to the poly 320's, but in all honesty, quality machining should be standard these days with modern firearms. I loved the Sigs, but got rid of all of them because I didn't have any confidence in them anymore. Sig can deny it all they want, but there's something wrong with the P320.
