The Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0C pistol in 9mm and black finish (brand part no. EC9409BLCU) is engineered for carry, retaining the key features of the full-size Echelon with a shorter 4-inch barrel and compact frame for enhanced concealability. Springfield Armory builds the hammer-forged, Melonite-finished barrel with a 1:10 twist rate, and the Variable Interface System gives direct-mount compatibility with leading red dot sights. Tritium and luminescent front sights pair with a Tactical Rack U-Dot rear sight for fast target acquisition, and the serialized Central Operating Group provides a 10-round capacity that meets state capacity-restriction requirements. Two 10-round magazines ship with the pistol. Among compact semi-auto handguns, this Echelon 4.0C configuration favors carry shooters who want full-size features in a smaller frame.
