Springfield Echelon?

The Springfield Echelon, It really has grown on us. With its amazing optics mouting solutions out of the box that can fit pretty much everything. And the amount of magazines that come with them from the factory. Quality metal sights. Deep slide serrations and modularity. Its hard not to like the Springfield Echelon.

Pack all that with the best all metal grip module for the springfield echelon and its a pretty remarkable system. We do prefer to use a single sided mag release, the ambi mag releases seem to make the button more spongy. But with a single sided release it feels more tactile and responsive. 

These are probably some of the softest shooting striker fired pistols on the market today. Alot of that comes down to the proper slide mass and spring seleciton. 

Our Commander grip module has ambi thumb ledges like the factory module, and it also has a better beavertail undercut that removes some of the sharp corners some shooters feel on their thumb knuckle. I know the factory module gives me a hot spot right on my thumb. 

You can also get brass grip panels from Patriot Defense for pretty much all of our grip modules so if you want to tune the weight or add some aggresssive textures thats an easy way to do it. 

We also carry some wood grip panel options, the Walnut and Kentucky mohogany are my personal favorites.
