Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0C | 9mm | 4″ | EC9409B-UWD

The Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0C is a compact, optics-ready 9mm pistol built for concealed carry and high-capacity everyday carry use. It retains the central operating group of the full-size Echelon while using a shorter 4-inch hammer-forged Melonite barrel and a compact polymer grip module for improved concealability. The slide features Springfield’s Variable Interface System for direct-mounting popular micro red-dot optics; a good pairing under $1,000 is the Holosun 407K for a low-profile footprint and proven durability. Typical applications include concealed carry and range training.
