NEW Compact Springfield Echelon 4.0C

If I were Springfield I would have debuted this on Black Friday

Modular but won't sell the comp slide & barrel..not yet anyway

Great review Steve, have an awesome day

The full-size mag feed issue is a deal breaker. The janky compact slide on full-size frame goofiness is disappointing. I'll wait for glock to come out with their version of the COG.

Nice looking pistola

The hellcat pro was a beautiful invention. This is redundant and not needed. No thanks. Glock 19 tested and proven and I’ll take that all day over this.

So the 4.5 slide will work perfectly fine with the 4.0 grip module?

Looks like they copied shadow systems patented optic cut. I wonder what they changed in this echelon to get around the patent?

Lazy shill “review”

What incogx holster? G19 for tlr7x? I assume


Edit: just saw they released holster for the echelon too. They wasn’t a thing last weekend I checked. Now will the full sized echelon fit the compact holster? I cannot tell if it’s a open holster or not

Great video buddy!!!

Springfield needs to release Mag sleeves for the fullsize Echelon mags to not over-insert into the Compact frame.

Was personally hoping it would be a bit closer to an SC. Great evolution to this excellent line! Great review, thank you!

Pretty cool love my full size echelon. For compact I’ll stick with hellcat pro tho.Thinner, lighter,shorter barrel and same mag capacity

I will wait 6 months for the comped version

Which one is better? MC9LS or This …..

If I have the fs can I just get a c frame and slide?

Don't they have a comp version of the echelon?

Very nice indeed. With all this modularity, I wonder if you could take a comped barrel and slide from the full size and put it on the compact chassis. I wonder how it would shoot.

But can I buy just the barrel and slide???

i do not trust Springfield. sorry they are doing the sig thing but sig is being used all over and we are starting to see major problems with the p300's. this is the same they just copied it.. like they do EVERYTHING. id be scared to carry a Springfield till it had years and years to be vetted and carried by law enforcement.. everyone was saying the sig was the greatest thing since sliced bread then they started shooting there owners couple years later and they cant stop it....

I really like the echelon and the hellcat line of pistols ! Good video 👍🏽 have a great day!

Echelon X coming soon?

Where can you buy just the frame and the slide?

Look at this handsome devil with the awesomeness

Have you tried using the full size mags in the carry version, actually loaded? We see they get stuck with empty mags, but what about fully loaded mags?

how it stack to the hellcat pro

They should really do away with the ambi mag release

How much $$$

Wonder how long until SA decides to release an Echelon Compact comp'd version like they have already done with full size? Nice review Steve.

Many people don’t know that using G17 mags in G19 can also induce failures. Not as egregious as what you show with this gun, and fine to carry them in the gun & run them statically, but if you do aggressive speed reloads in a G19, with G17 mags you will get troubles. Just FYI, for those that don’t know.

Springfield Armory must have me in their junk folder lol. Good video man, was curious if the slide from full sized fits on compact frame?

I heard rumors they were about to launch a compact version but wish they offer other calibers

Consume ,consume, consume

Springfield Armory is a Leader in the Industry

I have 4 Echelons.
8 Hellcat Pro's which two are comped barrels.

Is the trigger cog system the same between the full size and compact? I liked springfields modular approach but the fact I can't buy any of the pieces/parts for the gun make that point mute. Can't buy the comp slide/barrel by itself and I can't buy a spare cog system. Was going to turn a spare grip frame into a comp model but you cant.

Why wouldn’t they put the comp on the 4.0 crazy as hell !! Upgrade the trigger and stipple the whole frame Springfield. !!

Just buy the compact frame and slide for 200 bucks and add the shooting module from the full size you already own.

The fact is that it doesn't have a force-stop for extended magazines, to avoid contact with the extractor/slide.... what the actual hell. Fail🤦🏽‍♂️ I really wanted an Echelon too😭 Ruined the whole gun for me!

Awesome, intelligent review. Some gun tubers just ejaculated on the styling, with no technical unbiased info.

Awesome review.. what sunglasses are you wearing?

What sunglasses are those

👍

I just hope that in the near future, they release the 4.0c with the full-length grip and also a sub compact model. The Echelon seems to be everything Glock should be after 500 years of production

Cool! Good work. This is my first video of yours and I subscribed.

Springfield really hoping that red dot

I am actually really interested in that 4.0 and if they do make some fixes I would jump from my XDM to that. But at this point I have way too many XDM magazines to make that jump.

So tired of hearing people complain about something that was clearly never intended to work in the first place. So what, the mags are interchangeable. I don't see that as a flaw.

Moral to the story: only use the Springfield Eschelon 4.0C magazines. Don't use magazines not made fir your specific firearm..
