The brand-new Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5F Comp might just be the pistol you&#8217;ve been waiting for. In this video, we take a deep dive into Springfield\u2019s latest innovation in the Echelon series, a firearm designed with a compensator (comp) built right into the slide and barrel. This feature not only reduces recoil but allows for rapid follow-up shots, whether you&#8217;re shooting one-handed or running drills at full speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-video-shooting-the-echelon-4-5-comp\">Video Shooting the Echelon 4.5 Comp<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Echelon 4.5 F Comp from Springfield Armory | In-Depth Overview &amp; Performance Test\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b3ucjOnKWFc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From its flawless operation with various ammo types to the intuitive dot mounting system, the Echelon 4.5F Comp continues to raise the bar for polymer handguns.
