The Springfield Echelon 4.0C COA 9mm is a compact striker-fired carry pistol that leaves the factory with an Aimpoint COA closed-emitter red dot already mounted (brand part no. EC9409B-COA). The slide is cut for the Aimpoint A-CUT, so the optic mounts directly without intermediary plates, which lowers the sight line and reduces tolerance stacking. A 4-inch hammer forged barrel and a small grip module keep the 4.0C concealable. It carries 15 rounds in the flush magazine and 18 with the extended magazine. It is a ready-to-run red dot carry pistol for anyone who does not want to match an optic and a slide cut.
