Springfield Armory Echelon Pro Comp 4.5F 9mm 4.5in 15+1 - Optic Ready

Get the longest sight radius in the Echelon Pro Comp line with the Springfield Armory Echelon Pro 4.5F Comp. It has a ported 4.5-inch hammer-forged barrel, a billet machined slide with an integral compensator, and a full-size textured grip with a magwell. This is the model to choose if you want the most velocity and the steadiest sight picture from a compensated 9mm with three 20-round magazines.

The 4.5-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 4.5F is 8 inches long and 6.5 inches tall and weighs 25 ounces, so it is the longest and heaviest of the three, which helps soak up recoil. If you want a 4-inch barrel, look at the Echelon Pro 4.0FC Comp, or at the Echelon Pro 4.0C Comp for a shorter, 5-inch tall grip.

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.
