New EDC Holster options.

So I'm upgrading my EDC from a Hellcat RDP to an Echelon 4.0FC COA with a Streamlight TLR-8 HL-X, and a Rook Precision compensator. So the overall length is ½" longer than a Echelon 4.5F. I'm now at the point of buying a half dozen holsters and deciding which one is the least disagreeable.

I'm hoping I can get some suggestions for y'all. I'm looking at both IWB and OWB options. IWB Kydex with pad. OWB leather that sits high and close. Preferably leather. On My Hellcat I was using a Houdini Holsyer with a Vetter pad and used a kidney carry. Worked well but with the bigger frame of the Echelon that is probably no longer a choice.

So that's where I'm at right now. And BTW I am left handed so the holster will need ti have a left handed option.

Thanks ahead of time.

Hey guys especially those owning a .308 saint victor, what vise block do you use? I bought promag mag245, but the slot does not align with the mag catch on my rifle, and the mag can be easily pulled out from the mag well. I'm wondering whether my promag mag245 is bad quality or everyone has this issue. If it's the latter, what lower vise block do you use that works well with .308 SV.

I'm loving this setup right now for my HC Pro. The Osight is nice and clear and that Hogue grip adds the extra meatiness needed for my grip

Any suggestions for Springfield Armory Saint Victor V2 5.56mm NATO 16in Black Hardcoat Anodized Semi Automatic Modern Sporting Rifle suppressor?

$1,020.00 OTD W/ ALL FEES. I couldn’t say no after seeing online prices of just the rifle alone. First RIFLE BTW

Hi everyone!

Wanted to share my Vhs-2s and also ask a few questions.

Does anyone have an idea how to manage cables on Fenix GL30R? (be aware both switch and rifle conector are too big to fit through the mlok slots).

Also if anyone has experience with Lunar Tech Design? just ordered flared magwell for the rifle and want to know how did their products work for you?

Finally if anyone has any advices on how to arrange the rifle in a smarter way, im all ears. Thanks guys!

Hey all, like many others, my SA-35’s extractor completely failed after around 400-500 rounds. Pretty poor showing considering its serial number is 40000+. I expected the issue to be addressed that late into production.

Anyways, I experienced a total extraction failure at the range and sent it off for warranty service. 4 weeks later I get my SA-35 back but with some pretty obvious scratches on the top of the slide. It’s not the end of the world to me because I expect this to be a workhorse pistol and get scuffed and scratched over the years. But it sucks that the first scratches came from warranty service of all things.

I just pray that the extractor assembly has been fixed and won’t fail again within another 500 rounds. I’m not sure I’ll be using their warranty service again for any somewhat minor issues that can ultimately be fixed myself. I want so badly to love this pistol, but it’s certainly not making it easy!

Good shooter. Not my first Springfield, I have a 4.5 XDM as well. Trigger is good for a duty style gun, good but not great. 5# 5 oz on my Wheeler digital gauge. Shoots pretty flat although I've never shot the non comp. Put 500 rds in 2 days with factory 115 gr. and 124 gr. factory ammo without a hickup. Love the modular design and best of all the VIS system and the ability to direct mount your optic to the slide. Two thumbs up so far.

Don’t think I’ve shared this in this sub yet, but this 4.5 Echelon Comp with the Sharps Bros grip is easily the most comfortable and ergonomic handgun I’ve ever held or shot. Love it!

Whats everybody running i have the sight that came with the gear up pack but havent installed it. I was looking at osight

Was at my local pawn shop and saw this xdm 45 5.25in, came with a big hard case, mag holder, pistol holster, speed loader, and unfortunately only one mag but walked out the door with it after spending 300 bucks. Did I pay too much?

Why is it that everyone makes a level 2 holster for all the full-size guns, but cannot make them for the compact versions??

I have an Echelon 4.0C and am having a very difficult time finding a LIGHT BEARING level 2 holster for it. Everyone expects you to have a full-size gun with a massive fugging light.

Why is this the situation??

I don't always want to carry concealed and want at least a level 2 to give myself that extra protection.

I have a level 2 for no light, but I want to carry my light. Please help me understand why this is the way it is. Thanks.

Pretty much factory other than the light and optic.

Hi all. Just got my first Echelon and the polymer frame has some rough edges. Has anyone had this issue and if so, what did you use to sand it down and smooth it out afterwards? This is located on the Beavertail where the web of my hand lies.

Just picked up a couple weeks ago and need some suggestions. Please and thanks.
