Springfield Echelon
Posted: Thu Jul 13, 2023 3:16 pm
Springfield officially debuted its new Echelon pistol yesterday, and I gotta say it looks interesting. https://www.springfield-armory.com/eche ... -handguns/
The MSRP isn't too bad--$679 to $739 depending on model--but there's no indication whether Springfield intends to have it in anything but 9mm. My checkbook won't be happy about me adding another gun to the wishlist, but I've been wanting to move more toward RDS on my handguns but am not eager to mill existing slides. Their mounting solution looks pretty spiffy to me. 'Course, it's also a proprietary magazine...would of been nice if it accepted XD or XDm mags because, you know, gotta add the cost of extra magazines. Anyway:
