Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0FC | 9mm | EC9409BFC-COA

The Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0FC is a compact, optics-ready 9mm pistol designed to carry many of the full-size Echelon features in a smaller footprint. It uses Springfield’s Variable Interface System for direct-mount compatibility with current red-dot optics and retains a tritium U-Dot style front sight for low-light use. The pistol is intended for everyday carry and range/target practice where a compact, sight-ready platform is preferred. A practical optic pairing under $1,000 is the Aimpoint PRO red dot for reliable, rugged dot performance and simple co-witnessing with the Echelon sights.
