The Springfield Armory Echelon EC9459BLCU delivers striker-fired reliability with optic-ready versatility for serious shooters. This 9mm pistol combines a 4.5-inch Melonite-treated barrel with an adaptive grip system that accommodates different hand sizes without backstrap changes.
What Makes This Different
The Echelon features Springfield's Variable Interface System (VIS) that allows the grip texture and palm swell to adapt to the shooter's hand through interchangeable side panels. Unlike traditional polymer frames that require backstrap swapping, this system provides instant customization. The Central Operating Group (COG) houses all fire control components in a single serialized chassis, enabling complete disassembly for maintenance without tools.Key Features
