The Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5F Comp 9mm 15-round pistol adds an integral compensator to the modular duty platform to tame muzzle rise (brand part no. EC9459B-U-COMP15). A single port is machined into the top of the hammer-forged slide and barrel, and Springfield Armory sets the front sight behind it so the sight picture stays clear. It rides on a serialized Central Operating Group in a stainless steel chassis with ambidextrous controls and interchangeable backstraps. The slide is cut for red dots and two 15-round magazines come with the pistol, which suits range work, competition practice and duty carry in 15-round states.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9mm, which pairs well with a compensator for flat, controllable follow-up shots.
• The integral compensator is a single port on top of the slide and barrel that redirects gas upward to reduce muzzle rise.
• The barrel is a ported 4.5-inch hammer-forged steel barrel with a Melonite finish and a 1:10 twist.
• Capacity is 15 rounds in each of the two included magazines, for restricted states.
• The slide is optics ready through the Variable Interface System, with movable pins for a low, direct red dot mount.
• The front sight is a tritium and luminescent front night sight set behind the compensator, with a Tactical Rack U-Dot rear.
• The slide is billet machined with a Melonite finish and carries the compensator cut.
• The frame is black polymer with a medium grip module, 1.2 inches wide, and the backstraps are interchangeable.
• The recoil system is captive, which keeps the spring assembly together during stripping.
• Unloaded weight is 23.9 ounces at 8 inches overall length.
