Springfield Armory unveiled another compact pistol with the introduction of the Echelon 4.0C 9mm. This compact, duty-grade pistol is designed to deliver exceptional performance in a concealable package, making it ideal for everyday carry.

Building on the success of its larger sibling, the Echelon 4.5F, the 4.0C maintains the core principles of reliability, accuracy, and durability. With a 4-inch barrel and a compact frame, the 4.0C offers a comfortable and controllable shooting experience, even for extended periods.

One of the distinct features of the Echelon 4.0C is its patent-pending Central Operating Group. This fully self-contained stainless steel chassis allows for easy customization and maintenance, enabling users to quickly swap out grip modules to fit their specific hand size and preference.

The Variable Interface System, another innovative feature, provides a secure and customizable platform for mounting a wide range of optics. This system ensures a precise point of aim and impact, regardless of the optic chosen.

“The full-size Echelon 4.5F was engineered from the ground up to be today’s most advanced striker-fired pistol,” said Steve Kramer, Springfield Armory’s Vice President of Marketing. “The new Echelon 4.0C takes everything that made the original so popular, and sizes it down to offer users an exceptional and concealable duty-grade EDC pistol.”

The Echelon 4.0C comes standard with two magazines: a 15-round flush-fit magazine and an extended 18-round magazine. Both magazines are built to withstand rigorous use and provide ample capacity for self-defense or target shooting.

Springfield Armory is offering the Echelon 4.0C in a variety of configurations to cater to diverse needs and legal requirements. Whether you prefer standard sights or tritium night sights, or a threaded barrel for suppressor use, there's an Echelon 4.0C to suit your preferences.

With its combination of advanced features, customizable options, and proven reliability, the Echelon 4.0C attempts to set a new standard to duty-grade pistols. It's a versatile and capable firearm that can serious shooters, whether as professionals or civilians can look into.
