A Production Gun That Looks & Feels Like A Custom Gun - Springfield Echelon Review
About this video
Colion reviews Springfield Armory’s new Echelon pistol, a full-size 9mm striker-fired duty gun. He argues that the Echelon feels more like a custom shop gun than a standard production pistol, pointing to what he describes as exceptional slide serrations, optics mounting system, grip texture, and trigger quality. Colion explains that Springfield sent him the gun months before the July 12th release date and presents his analysis of its features, ergonomics, and potential use cases.
Key takeaways
- Colion believes the Echelon’s design and features (deep slide serrations, variable optics interface, extensive grip texture, and quality trigger) make it feel like a custom gun despite its production status
- According to Colion, the gun is built on Springfield’s chassis system (Central Operating Group/COG) that allows different grip modules, similar to other modular pistol designs
- Colion suggests the Echelon works well as a duty gun, home defense gun, or off-body carry gun, and he considers its $679 MSRP reasonable for what he views as custom-level quality
