The Springfield Echelon 4.0FC 10-Round is the low-capacity version of the 4.0FC from Springfield Armory, a 9mm that pairs a compact 4-inch slide with a full-length grip (Springfield Armory part no. EC9409BFCLC-U). It ships with two 10-round magazines, which suits shooters who live under magazine capacity limits. The slide is billet machined and optics-ready, and the front sight is tritium. The result is a duty-sized grip with quick handling for defense, range work or everyday carry.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is 9mm, a common caliber with plenty of affordable practice ammunition.
