Springfield Armory | Echelon 4.0C | 9mm | EC9409B-3D

The Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0C is a compact, optics-ready 9mm handgun designed to retain the features of the full-size Echelon in a smaller footprint for carry and everyday use. It ships in black with tritium three-dot night sights and a polymer frame, and includes both a flush and an extended magazine. The Echelon’s Variable Interface System (VIS) provides direct-mount compatibility with a wide range of miniature red dot sights. A versatile choice for concealed carry and for range training where a compact, optic-capable platform is desired.

Recommended optic (under $1,000): a compact footprint red dot such as the Holosun 507K pairs well with the Echelon’s VIS mounting system and compact slide profile while staying well under a $1,000 budget.
