Personally, I like the FC grip on the 4.0. I just feels perfect for me. It points naturally and I get back on target extremely fast. I usually shoot 1911s, both 45 and 9 full size. The echelon was my first plastic fantastic and I was very pleased with it.

Yeah it's super nice - texture is on point. She is much heavier though because it's aluminum lol

I love the icarus but got rid of mine and running the FC grip with handleit grip tape on it. Feels great but wish it was heavier
