The Springfield Echelon pistol features an advanced optics mounting system: the Variable Interface System. This multi-purpose slide cut accepts over 30 different pistol red dot sights with no need for separate plates. It also features self-locking front pins that provide lateral pressure on the optic as they're torqued to spec, eliminating left and right movement of the optic and ensuring an unparalleled fit regardless of the mounted optic. Using the VIS doesn't mean losing your iron sights either, and the Echelon ships from the factory with a tactical rack U-Notch rear sight and tritium front sight.

The Echelon's slide is more than the optics system, it also features several enhancements that make manipulation a breeze even under high-stress situations. Front and rear slide serrations are just the start. The aggressive front serrations have a trench cut that gives you a positive purchase for press checks and charging the firearm. The back of the slide has been flared, offering an even more secure grip regardless of where you grab it, and under any weather conditions.

At the heart of the Springfield Armory Echelon 9mm pistol is the Central Operating Group. The COG's stainless steel chassis allows for easy swapping of frames and convenient cleaning. The COG also contains the tool steel trigger components, providing not just a fantastic trigger for a striker fired handgun, but an excellent trigger, period. With fully ambidextrous controls and a modular frame that can be adapted to nearly any hand size, the Springfield Armory Echelon is sure to exceed your expectations.
