You won’t regret it. The Echelon is one of my favorite guns of all time.
Check Reddit. I think I saw someone on there had it done to their Ech.

Nice. I’ve got the Springer Precision compensator, magwell, and base plates on mine, as well as an X300U and Swampfox red dot (temporary).
I’ve only shot it once with the comp. My friend was shooting his non-comped Echelon and we could tell it definitely makes a difference. I’m not sure I like the huge length increase. It’s more like the EcheLong now. I’d be curious to try a micro comp as well.

I put around 300 rounds through my Echelon prior to getting the comp in March, and another 400 rounds since, various grains. For me the comp helps me to get back on target quickly and my accuracy has improved as a result. I’m not going back lol!
There’s a lot of things that weren’t mentioned in the article. And considering there are only a few companies making aftermarket parts, it seems like it would have been pretty easy to include more.

Agree. The PRP trigger is a big improvement.

PRP had a booth at the NRA meetings in Dallas 2 weeks ago so what the hell, I picked one up.
curious to see how it feels once installed

Out of the box the trigger pull of my Echelon averaged 5.8lbs. With the PRP kit installed the average dropped down to 4.2lbs. Hope you get similar results.

When I first installed a PRP trigger in my Echelon the stock trigger averaged 5.8lb's, After the installation the trigger averaged 4.2lb's. I guess I've fired 600-700 rounds since then. Just a few minutes ago I checked trigger and it now averages 3.5lbs, 7 ounces lighter. This might be useless info thought it might be interesting to some one.

Is there a red neon type front sight available, like on my XDM elite. ?Hello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com. It is titled “Springfield Armory Echelon Upgrades” and can be found at https://www.thearmorylife.com/springfield-armory-echelon-upgrades/.
