The Echelon is the latest next-generation duty pistol from Springfield Armory with an emphasis on ergonomics and durability for striker-fired pistols while incorporating new design technologies. The pistol features Springfield's Central Operating Group (COG) assembly that allows the user to change out the frame while keeping the same serialized firearm. The pistol's new Variable Interface System (VIS) also allows for over 30 different optics to be direct-mounted to the slide without a mounting plate, allowing for easy co-witness without the need for changing iron sights.

This model is chambered in 9mm Luger and features Springfield's signature u-notch tritium sight along with a Desert Flat Dark Earth Cerakote. One flush-fit 17-round and 20-round extended magazine is included along with a Springfield soft pistol case.
