Meet My New Carry Gun

About this video

Colion reviews the Springfield Echelon Pro, a factory-enhanced version of the standard Echelon he already carries. He compares the compact and full-size grip variants, both with ported slides, and works through his initial hesitation about carrying a ported gun due to noise and concussion concerns. After reconsidering how auditory exclusion and real-world defensive scenarios differ from range conditions, Colion concludes the Pro’s upgrades—porting, aggressive texture, flared magwell, and aesthetics—make it his new carry choice.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues the Echelon Pro feels like a custom shop gun from the factory, with enhanced grip texture, a subtle flared magwell, and ported slide that he believes improves shootability
• He initially hesitated to switch to the ported version due to increased noise and muzzle concussion at retention distances, but reconsidered after thinking about adrenaline, auditory exclusion, and threat-focused priorities in actual defensive encounters
• Colion teaches that concerns noticeable on a calm range—like port noise—may not matter in a high-stress defensive situation where someone is close enough to put hands on you
