The Springfield Echelon 4.0C Comp 9mm is a compact striker-fired pistol with an integral compensator machined into the slide and barrel (brand part no. EC9409B-U-COMP15). A single port redirects gas upward to reduce muzzle rise and improve control. The optics-ready slide uses the Variable Interface System for direct-mount red dots, and the tritium front sight with a U-Dot rear covers the irons. It ships with two 15-round magazines. It is a carry-size pistol for the shooter who wants a compensated, optic-ready platform.
