The Springfield Echelon is a full size striker fired semi automatic pistol chambered in 9mm, designed by Springfield Armory as a duty and service grade platform. The Echelon is built around a serialized stainless steel central operating assembly that serves as the fire control group and chassis, which is removable from the grip module. This modular construction allows the grip module to be swapped or replaced without affecting the serialized component. The grip module accepts interchangeable backstraps in multiple sizes to adjust grip geometry to the individual shooter. The slide features a proprietary optic mounting interface machined directly into it, designed to accept a wide range of red dot footprints through the use of adapter plates. The slide rides on a full length steel guide rail system within the grip module. The trigger is a flat faced design with an integrated blade safety, and the pistol features no external manual safety beyond the trigger blade and internal striker safety.

This example is optics ready, with the slide machined to accept a variety of red dot footprints via Springfield's VIS optics cut. The proprietary optic interface allows for a low profile mounting solution with the use of interchangeable pins. The pistol is fitted with a fixed U-Notch rear and tritium front sight. Accompanied by two 15 round magazines, additional backstraps, mounting screws, and original box.
