Employing cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, it is made up of an entirely self-contained and serialized stainless steel chassis. The result is a system that is easily moved between available grip modules in seconds. The pistol comes standard with the small grip module and three interchangeable backstraps, while medium and large grip modules can be purchased separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further adding to the pistol\u2019s adaptability is its truly innovative Variable Interface System, which employs patent-pending self-locking pins that ensure consistent and reliable point of aim\/point of impact. In addition, the pins can be positioned to fit the footprints of a wide range of popular optics. This allows for an unparalleled direct-mount fit between the pistol\u2019s slide and optic.<\/p>\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\u2122 4.0C - Springfield Armory\u00ae\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sF4HeQIP084?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><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Echelon 4.0C comes standard with two magazines \u2014 a flush-fit, 15-round magazine; and an extended, 18-round variant.

The Armory functioned as a firearms supplier for every major American conflict until 1968 when the government sadly closed its doors. In 1974, nearly two centuries after its inception, Springfield Armory Inc. in Geneseo, Ill. revived the iconic heritage of the Armory to carry on its legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We strive to honor this responsibility as guardians of the original Springfield Armory legacy by manufacturing the highest quality firearms to enable responsible citizens to preserve their right to keep and bear arms in the defense of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With an unmatched emphasis on craftsmanship, performance and exceptional customer service, our mission is to forge superior firearms and provide the tools necessary to defend individual freedoms and equality for those who embrace the rights and principles secured by our Founding Fathers.
