Ayoob: Compact Springfield Echelon 4.0C Review

The compact will quickly become a best seller, think of it the same as a G17 vs a G19 size difference. It has been fun playing legos mixing and matching parts. Like the compact slide with the Floyds Custom Shop comp partially covered by the dust cover. In a year the Echelon series has become a pick your flavor style pistol.

The Echalon is my winter EDC and my hunting carry, exept for hog hunting then I take the XD in 10mm. I will definitely believe that I will buy the Echalon C but when it comes out ported. Just like the Echalon I bought it when it came out, no regrets but now it is in OD green and ported. I don't believe I should have 2 of every gun. Especially when we just got the Hellcat ported which is already, if not the best EDC. I will find out but when the Echalon C comes out ported.
 
Too many gun tubers don't actually take the time to indicate their hand size and show how much real estate there is between the trigger guard and the bottom of the grip. It would be nice if companies listed that distance in their specs, on top of the overall height. I don't think these will be on display very long in a shop for us to physically hold.
Still wondering when these will be on the California roster. Off to check Ammo Bros. again.
 
I'm wanting an article or comparison between the Hellcat Pro and this new compact Echelon.

My primary concealed carry is a clean Hellcat Pro. And it's perfect but I also just bought a new full-size echelon and have been using for my introduction into competitive shooting. And I love it. But I can't help to wonder if I should have me this new compact echelon and maybe give my daughter, who has been wanting it, my Hellcat pro. decisions decisions.
 
I really liked the full size, how it shot, the thought behind the VIS, slide setup/design…. I just didn’t need another full size, mid budget striker fired pistol I had no intention of carrying.
Then this came out.
Went to a local show last weekend, one vendor had it on the table with the 3 dot tritium, came home with me.
Vortex ST up top.. I have about 350 rounds through it so far, zero issues, very good shooter.
I did get some trigger pinch towards the end of the range day. I’m bouncing between the Tyrant and PRP triggers for mine.
I’ve put cheap 115, my 124 reloads, 124gr HSTs… it’s eaten everything without even a hint of any kind of issue.
Waiting for a few more holsters to come out designed for it.. I know the full size holsters fit…but why not get the right fit rather than “it does fit”..

My plan is 1K rounds through it over the next few weeks, put it in the carry rotation.
I agree, it is the Goldilocks size….

Congrats, I'm holding out for the FDE or OD version.
