SPRINGFIELD ARMORY ECHELON - 9MM

Geared for concealed carry with a shorter profile than the 4.5F model, reducing printing and enhancing draw speed. Features include a hammer forged steel barrel with a Melonite finish, interchangeable backstraps (M/L), accessory rail, captive recoil spring system, front and rear slide serrations, flat-faced trigger. Specifications here are for flush-fit magazines. Extended magazines add three rounds to overall capacity, extending the gun's height by an inch. Production for this gun began in 2024. Last updated: 11/28/2025 The current MSRP for this model $694. The slightly used market value ranges from $580 to $620. The Echelon 4.0C platform offers three well-executed configurations on the same serialized Central Operating Group (COG). The standard model provides balanced recoil management, excellent natural pointing characteristics, and the lowest profile for concealed carry, making it the default choice for daily appendix or strong-side use. The trigger remains crisp and consistent, reliability exceeds 8,000 rounds without malfunction in documented testing, and holster and optic compatibility is comprehensive. The standard suits pure carry, the compensated model favors speed-oriented defensive use, and the threaded configuration excels where suppression or future adaptability is prioritized.
