Springfield Armory, in partnership with Aimpoint, has introduced a new lineup of Echelon pistols featuring the A-CUT interface and factory-mounted COA enclosed red dot. Available in 4.5F, 4.0FC, and 4.0C models, the system is designed to improve durability and zero retention by transferring recoil forces into a full-length dovetail. The new Echelon COA models carry an MSRP of $1,119.
Earlier this week, Springfield Armory announced the expansion of its popular Echelon series with the introduction of the Echelon 4.5F pistol, now featuring an ambidextrous manual safety.
Over the last few years, we have seen an influx of striker fire pistols to the market. We have witnessed SIG’s successful P320, Walther’s PDP, and CZ’s P-10. Springfield Armory was one of the first competitors to Glock’s polymer striker-fired pistol with the XD pistol. After twenty-four years, Springfield Armory is looking to introduce the next evolution in their striker-fire guns with the Springfield Echelon.
