It combines a full-size grip, compact slide and integral compensator in one hybrid pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The configuration gives shooters the full-size grip and 17+1 capacity of the standard Echelon while retaining a compact 4-inch barrel and slide assembly. An included extended magazine increases capacity to 20+1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/echelon-40-fc-comp-pr.jpg\" alt=\"Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0FC Comp 9mm pistol with a mounted red-dot optic.\" class=\"wp-image-260271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/echelon-40-fc-comp-pr.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/echelon-40-fc-comp-pr-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/echelon-40-fc-comp-pr-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/echelon-40-fc-comp-pr-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Echelon 4.0FC Comp combines a full-size grip, compact 4-inch slide and integral compensator.

(<em>Photo: SA<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up front, the slide\u2019s integral compensator redirects expanding gases upward to reduce muzzle rise. It helps the pistol return to target faster. Springfield positioned the front sight behind the compensator, protecting the sight picture from the ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like other Echelon models, the new pistol is built around Springfield\u2019s serialized Central Operating Group. The stainless-steel chassis contains the pistol\u2019s core operating components.  It can be moved between compatible grip modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-see-also-7-creedmoor-takes-2nd-in-nrl-hunter\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-7-creedmoor-takes-2nd-in-nrl-hunter\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-echelon-4-0fc-comp-9mm\" title=\"Springfield Launches Echelon 4.0FC Comp 9mm\">7 Creedmoor Takes 2nd in NRL Hunter<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The slide also incorporates Springfield\u2019s Variable Interface System.  This allows shooters to <a href=\"https:\/\/store.springfield-armory.com\/echelon-complete-pin-set-for-vis-variable-interface-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-echelon-4-0fc-comp-9mm\" title=\"Springfield Launches Echelon 4.0FC Comp 9mm\">direct-mount more than 30 popular optics<\/a> without using an adapter plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other features include fully ambidextrous controls, aggressive front and rear slide serrations, a forward trench cut for press checks, a flared rear slide section and tritium\/luminescent U-Dot sights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe highly modular and capable Echelon has established itself as an unparalleled duty-grade 9mm pistol since its launch in 2023,\u201d said Springfield Armory Vice President of Marketing Steve Kramer. \u201cThis new Echelon 4.0FC Comp combines features from full-size, compact and compensated models into an appealing new 9mm pistol equally ideal for both the range or EDC.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The standard Echelon 4.0FC Comp ships with one 17-round flush-fit magazine and one extended 20-round magazine. Springfield will also offer restricted-state versions with 15- or 10-round magazines, along with Gear Pac and FIRSTLINE packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MSRP is $784.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For additional specifications and availability, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/spr-ar.com\/r\/6284\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\"
