Springfield Armory Echelon Pro Comp 4.0C 9mm 4in 15+1 - Optic Ready

Springfield Armory Echelon Pro Comp 4.0C 9mm 4in 15+1 - Optic Ready

Carry or compete with a compensated 9mm that has a shorter grip and the same 4-inch barrel with the Springfield Armory Echelon Pro 4.0C Comp. It has a ported, hammer-forged barrel, a billet machined slide with an integral compensator, and a textured grip with a magwell. At 23 ounces and 5 inches tall, it is the lightest and smallest of the three Echelon Pro Comp models.

The 4-inch hammer-forged steel barrel has a Melonite finish, a 1:10 twist, and porting that works with the integral compensator in the slide. The slide is billet machined, finished in Melonite, and coated in Springfield Gray Cerakote H-304. It is cut for an optic and has a tritium and luminescent front sight and a black serrated rear sight. A captive stainless steel guide rod keeps the recoil system tight and easy to service.

The LightForged black polymer frame has Springfield's Badlands texture, a medium grip module, and a magwell. The grip is 1.2 inches wide. The 4.0C is 7.4 inches long and 5 inches tall, which is 1.5 inches shorter than the full-size-grip models, so it is easier to conceal and handle. If you want a full-size grip with the same barrel, look at the Echelon Pro 4.0FC Comp. If you want a longer barrel, look at the Echelon Pro 4.5F Comp.

Each pistol ships with three 20-round magazines. Magazine capacity restrictions apply in some states, and all firearm sales are subject to applicable federal, state, and local laws, including a background check and transfer through a licensed dealer.
