The Springfield Echelon 4.0C Comp 9mm Low Capacity (Springfield Armory part no. EC9409BLC-U-COMP) is a compact, compensated carry pistol with a 10-round capacity. The integral compensator on the hammer-forged slide and barrel redirects gas upward to cut muzzle rise, and the front sight sits behind it for an uninterrupted sight picture. The Variable Interface System gives direct-mount compatibility with leading red dot sights, while a tritium front sight and Tactical Rack U-Dot rear handle the irons. Two 10-round magazines ship with the pistol for states with capacity restrictions.
