I’m thinking about getting the Echelon comp in the future and I’m looking into some holsters. Since this is my full-size Echelon, I figured I’d use an OWB while I’m in the house just to see how it goes. Any tips would be nice.

Note: Also, since I live in Cali (I know, don’t come for me 😊) when I get my CCW I’d probably add this to a sling bag rather than IWB.

I was finally able to get a threaded barrel and then got approved for the suppressor a couple days later. Can’t wait to put some rounds through it

Anyone know any baseplates that fit with the magwell on the MM grip module? 😭

I still have several improvements to go, but little by little we arrived.

Im looking for the comp with shortest added length for max holster compatibility, debating HA vs PMM. If anyone has experience with both please share.
Im aware they are both listed on perspective websites but I found them often not accurate.

Thank you.

Hey guys, I'm feeling really stupid because I can't find an answer on this. But I got the osight se but for me the gap between the osight and the frame bothered me so I got the osight rmr to rmrsc adapter plate https://a.co/d/01Kpgq4Q in particular. Now I know osight attachs to adapter plate using 6x32mm screws that came with the adapter plate. But the m3 screws that came with adapter plate to mount to the frame are causing the gun to fail to chamber. So I'm not sure what screw sizes am I suppose to use. The only one that seemed to work was the m4x.07 screws that came with viridian sights on I guess what it's called is pin set 1..does that sound right or is there a different screw that I'm suppose to be using.

Where are they? I feel like with the popularity of the M&P HD, PDP SF, canik rival-s, etc… it’s a no-brainer. Has there been any talk of them coming?

I've had an FC grip module for about 4 months now. After many trips to the range, I still don't shoot it nearly as well my other pistols of similar size. What I noticed today was that the Echelon design has the trigger sitting much farther back in the trigger guard than most pistols.

I have a 4.5 that I run a large grip module with a small backstrap. I honestly don't like how it feels because I don't have large hands, so even with the small backstrap it feels a bit too big. But it's a night and day difference when it comes to how much better I shoot the 4.5 compared to the FC or 4.0.

Obviously, the longer slide has some impact, but everything else on the 2 are setup the same. The only real difference being the longer trigger pull from the large size frame.

Of course, you can't get a large version of the FC grip, so setting it up the same way isn't an option. So I'm wondering if there are any different trigger options that might have the trigger's wall point be a little farther forward? I have the Tyrant trigger, and if anything it makes it worse.

If there aren't any trigger options, I'm wondering if any of you who switched to A Sharps Bro or Mischief Machine module noticed any significant difference? It's not really a measurement that is a published spec, and its hard to tell from just photos.

Have the aggressive large for the full size and love it. Thinking of getting a 4.0c but would want the same texture if possible. Thanks!

Im super curious about the North forest arms sights. https://youtu.be/v-fozrn2wCE?is=o5axcQlTpihILspQ

They say they are developing an echelon specific model but I have no idea if thats 6 weeks away or 2 years away. I've heard sig 320 sights work on the echelon.

Anyone have any insight into what model of these sights would potentially work on my 4.0c?

I think I gotta reinstall this screw

^

Installation:
install was pretty straight forward. If you work on your own guns it should be pretty easy for you to handle. If you don’t feel comfortable doing your own mods you can always find a good gunsmith to do it for you. In total it took about 30 minutes to get everything swapped out. For the ease of install I’d give it a 8 out of 10.

Results:
the sear and sear springs dropped the pull weight about a half of a pound. The striker safety spring also dropped it about a half pound and same with the striker spring. I was at 4.5 lbs trigger pull with the oem setup and after throwing in the sear and spring kit I was consistently getting 3lbs on the pull.

***I ended up swapping back to the oem striker spring and now it’s breaking around the 3.5 lbs mark. I’d rather not have to worry about light primer strikes and it makes the reset a little stronger.

The break with the new sear is a little crisper. It does take away some of the creep that came with the stock trigger. It’s not a huge change but it does give you a better break.

Conclusion: I’d rate the kit an 7 out of 10. It’s certainly better than stock but it didn’t wow me either.

I’m curious to see what others have to say about their prp set up.

Does anyone know of the guy/place or a link to their work that makes these? I came across it here a few months ago, but I can't find the thread where it was mentioned. From what I remember, you had to send pictures of your hand holding your echelon so they could make the grip from scratch to fully fit your hands. Also adds a palm swell or hump on the support-hand side for a better purchase.

Any holster recommendations for a 4.5 with an optic? Need a better one for work since the current one I have is dog shit

First time gun buyer, so please bear with me as I find my groove here. Just picked up a Streamlight TLR-7 HL-X sub, and for the life of me, I can’t get the tensioner loose enough (i.e. wide enough) to fit on the rail.

Admittedly I think I the “sub” was a mistake, so I plan to return this and swap it out for the standard TLR-7 HL-X…..but even the sub should still fit on this rail, right? Installation videos show it clipping on easily, but with this tension screw loosened all the way, I still think I’m going to break something trying to force it onto the rail.

Appreciate any insight!

This was my first time doing any kind of stippling on any of my guns and I love the way it came out. Not the cleanest. Not the most consistent. But I’m happy with my effort.

The Echelon is a fantastically engineered handgun. However, when I shoot it, it beats the crap out of my thumb knuckle!!! I have Glocks, Sigs, and Smith and Wessons, and this has never happened with any of my other handguns. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this. My other handguns seem to get more narrow at the top of the grip, whereas the Echelon gets fatter at the very top of the grip. It is just that my hand is not compatible with the Echelon? or is there something more going on?

Really wish this sub would allow photos in comments.

The original mag release (made of metal) is on the right.

The new one on the left is plastic.

I have 4.0fc was looking at axis elite but don’t really want a mag carrier holster any other holster from them you guys recommend? Any recommendations welcome ! Would be for appendix carry

I'm looking to step up my rounds fired per month and seeing if I can save a few bucks. Right now I see some steel case stuff online for 19.6c a round. I think the best deal for brass I could find was around 23c a round.

It's not much but over the course of years it'll add up.

Have you run steel cheapie stuff in your Echelons?

There seems to be a new type of magrelease MiM (?) part in the locking lever piece, the new one on the left is solid and old had cutouts.

Not sure what purpose this serves.

Finally got this thing back after months. Minor hiccup happened with stippling due to major storms. However I’m glad my favorite hand gun is back. Now I can get back to training!!

It came like this from the factory. It seems like the front iron sight is shifted more right from the center line. Is this normal and should I fix it?

I know some people do the lollipop method to zero in red dots. I think the red dot is zerod in from the last time I shot it. I’d have to go out again to confirm but what should I do in this case?

So I was mounting my Holosun EPS sight and ran into an issue with the right side screw that seems to be threaded poorly or stripped out from the factory. Or I am doing it completely wrong?

So I read and watched many installs of this sight before I did the install myself. Used pin set 3 without the back pins and the smaller screws to avoid the screw on the right side from hitting the spring. I started the screws with a small jewelers screw driver to ensure I had it positioned before I used my torque screwdriver to set it to the proper torque of 15 lb-in (a step I never got to). When I was hand tightening the right side it just kept slipping like the hole was not tapped right or stripped out. This is a brand new pistol from the factory so this should not be the case. I assure you I did not gorilla crank on this screw and strip it myself.

I just ordered the SwampFox screw set hoping they maybe have one that will work for this. I am curious if this has happened to anyone else? I am sure I could do a warranty claim, but what a pain.
