The Springfield Echelon pistol in black (brand part no. EC9459BMSU) sets a new standard for modern striker-fired duty pistols, built around a robust stainless steel chassis with a frame-mounted ambidextrous thumb safety. Springfield Armory hammer-forges the 4.5-inch steel barrel with a Melonite finish, and the billet-machined, optics-ready slide uses a revolutionary mounting system compatible with a broad range of red dots. Tritium/luminescent front sights pair with a U-Dot tactical rack rear sight, and the pistol ships with both a 17-round and a 20-round magazine. Among duty-grade semi-auto handguns, this Echelon configuration favors shooters who want maximum capacity with optics compatibility.
