The Springfield Echelon 4.0C pistol in black (brand part no. EC9409BU) is engineered for carry, retaining the key features of the full-size Echelon in a shorter 4-inch barrel and compact frame for enhanced concealability. Springfield Armory builds the pistol with a Variable Interface System offering direct-mount compatibility with today’s leading red dot sights, complemented by tritium U-Dot iron sights for fast target acquisition. The serialized Central Operating Group houses in a compact polymer frame, and the pistol ships with a 15-round flush magazine and an 18-round extended magazine. Among compact carry semi-auto handguns, this Echelon 4.0C configuration favors everyday concealed carry.
