Springfield Armory has unveiled its latest Echelon pistol, the Echelon 4.5F Comp 9mm pistol. This new model is integrally compensated to minimize felt recoil and muzzle rise, ensuring enhanced performance and adaptability. The Echelon 4.5F Comp 9mm is meticulously engineered to meet the needs of modern shooters.
The Echelon series, known for its 4.5-inch barrel and striker-fired design, has gained a reputation for excellence. The new Comp model takes this legacy to the next level by incorporating an integral compensator to mitigate recoil and muzzle rise. This innovative feature ensures faster follow-up shots and enhanced accuracy, making the Echelon Comp a formidable choice for both recreational shooters and those seeking a reliable self-defence tool.
The Echelon Comp's design is characterized by its sleek lines and functional aesthetics. The integral compensator, subtly integrated into the slide and barrel, redirects gas upwards, effectively reducing muzzle rise and improving control. This enhancement allows shooters to maintain a consistent point of aim, even during rapid-fire sequences.
Beyond its innovative compensator, the Echelon Comp boasts a host of other features that set it apart. Its durable stainless steel chassis provides a solid foundation for the pistol's performance, while the patent-pending Variable Interface System for optics mounting offers unparalleled adaptability. This system allows for easy integration of various red dot sights, ensuring that shooters can tailor their firearm to their specific preferences.
The Echelon Comp's ergonomics are equally impressive. The ambidextrous controls and interchangeable backstraps cater to a wide range of shooters, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip. The pistol's textured grip panels provide excellent traction, even in adverse conditions.
“The Echelon was designed to offer a fresh take on the duty-style 9mm pistol with a host of modular and innovative features,” said Steve Kramer, Springfield Armory’s Vice President of Marketing. “Now with the Echelon Comp, shooters have a new option that combines advanced performance with duty-grade durability.”
The Echelon 4.5F Comp 9mm is a competitively priced pistol that offers impressive performance and features, including a flush-fit 17-round and an extended 20-round magazine. For restricted locales, 15-round and 10-round versions are also available, each with two magazines. All versions of the Echelon Comp have an MSRP of $749.
