GENESEO, ILL. (03\/17\/26) \u2013 <\/strong>Springfield Armory\u00ae is proud to announce the launch of its new Aimpoint\u00ae COA\u00ae-equipped line of pistols. Select firearms arrive factory-milled with the Aimpoint A-CUT\u2122 interface and are fitted with the class-leading Aimpoint COA closed-emitter red dot sight. Paired with the 9mm Echelon at launch, the line will later expand to include select 1911 DS Prodigy\u2122 and 1911 variants.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aimpoint\u00ae COA\u00aeA-CUT integrates directly into the slides of these Springfield Armory pistols via a full-length dovetail secured by a front hook and rear wedge. The wedge-locking mechanism transfers lateral forces into the dovetail, reducing the load on screws and mounting interfaces, delivering high durability and reliable zero retention under demanding conditions. The ultra-low mount enables co-witnessing with iron sights<\/a> for instinctive target acquisition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring a 7075-T6 aluminum housing, the closed-emitter Aimpoint COA optic is designed for military, law enforcement, concealed carry and sport shooters<\/a> alike. Its 3.5 MOA dot is rated to run for more than five years on the included single CR2032 battery. The optic features four night<\/a> vision-compatible settings and eight daylight settings, and is submersible to 25 meters. The lens measures a generous 15x15mm, and the optic\u2019s weight is a mere 1.7 oz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Echelon COA<\/a> variants available at launch are the 4.5F, 4.0FC and 4.0C models. The 4.5F is a full-size model with a 4.5\u201d barrel that comes with a flush-fitting 17-round magazine and an extended 20-round magazine. The 4.0FC is a hybrid model with a proprietary full-size grip module and a compact slide assembly with a 4\u201d barrel. It comes with a 17-round, flush-fitting magazine as well as a spare extended 20-round magazine. The 4.0C is a compact model with a 4\u201d barrel and 15-round, flush-fitting magazine as well as an extended 18-round magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an MSRP of $1,119 for all three optic-equipped models, this bundled package represents a significant value for the customer. Considering that the MSRP for the Aimpoint optic is $617 and comparable Echelon models have an MSRP starting at $710, the result is a savings of more than $200 for the purchaser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are extremely proud to announce the launch of these Aimpoint COA-equipped Springfield Armory pistols,\u201d said Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. \u201cPairing the Aimpoint COA closed-emitter optic with these dedicated A-CUT Springfield Armory pistols makes for a combination ideal for facing the most demanding situations and environments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
