I love watching Bob Ross painting videos. They're extremely therapeutic. Good things! 👍
Just bought one. It's a winner. Springfield made a very nice gun. Nice trigger, great slide, great grip. Happy with the purchase

In 1999 my Springfield XD was the shyt and still is, the .45 held 15+1 I sold it a while ago but got the Springfield Elite 3.8 in 10mm and it's a bad boy! The trigger, match barrel and beautiful stainless steel magazines the guns you can compare the build quality to all the pistols out there and they are on par with F&N clean quality 100%!! They went cheap on the Echelon mags but with all the gun you get I see why, I look forward to building other pistols with this trigger assembly!°
I skipped past all the other channels who also made a video about this and went right to the GOAT 🐐
Justin is the Bob Ross of gun channels its glorious!
Always a pleasure to watch your reviews Looks an outstanding product, let's see how she holds up
Looks like a winner, definitely want to see a head to head with the Sig P320
As always you do a awesome job on your reviews. I do believe I now know what my next gun will be. Springfield Echelon
This is the best review I watched on this new release.

Just came across your channel. Nice nice video on the Echelon which I just bought yesterday the threaded barrel version. I like you calm, soft tone voice and articulate description of the gun and clicked on Subscribe.
Great review Justin enjoyed it Springfield is a premiere oem the pistol is a good looking offering thanks for all you do
Looking forward to seeing a more in depth review and a head to head comparison to the Sig 320 and the Smith and Wesson M&P

I love the S&W M&P 9 M2.0 pistols. I've got the 5" ProSeries CORE full-size, 4" OR compact, and 3.6" sub-compact. I'd been shooting my Glocks for 10 years before I'd ever so much as picked up an M&P. When I first rented the 4" compact and 3.6" sub-compact, I instantly shot the M&Ps better than my Glocks. The rest is history.
It’s always fun when the optic is worth more than the firearm. 👍
Congrats on the scoop review. First impressions? I really like it. The grip texture is superb.
New S.A. product intro! Very cool, and amount the shotgun blast of videos release. Yours gets first view. Thanks Dave.

Great you got one. Thanks for the review. It looks fantastic.

Was able to pick one up today at my LGS with the 3 dot sights, feels almost like a grown up Hellcat Pro. Saturday I will be able to put some rounds downrange with it.
Thanks for pointing out the takedown lever/ gas pedal!! I’m wondering how oversized the ejection port is?
Its big, ready for .45acp hopefully. Reminds me of a Remington RP9 but with engineers that actually thought it out first...

This pistol will really have to wow me if I’m to replace my Walther PDP-F. The controls on the Walther-slide and mag releases, trigger-and ergonomics are awfully good out of the box. The plastic sights suck, but I installed a set of tritium Trijicons.
Looks great, I like the slide
Another great video!!!
Looks like I need to upgrade lol... Great review!
Thank Bob Ross you old rock hippy you. Nice review full of great information on the new Echelon.

Why?
We're big fans of the review copy received. Springfield did a pretty good job with this one.
Great review, looks like they have their sights on Sig,,,,,,,
Could the glass on the optic be from carbon build-up from a top side open peephole? This was so much of a problem with my Shield Plus that I removed the optic & put it on my P365XL where the optic sits much further back causing no such issues. Only wish the trigger was as good as the Shield Plus's.
Echelon com certeza é uma arma diferenciada,assim como a MP 9 2.0 Full LE Smith Wesson, é outro nível com certeza, Springfield desta vez se superou com certeza 👍🏼👏🤠🇧🇷
Would love to see a comparison between this gun and the Smtih and Wesson M&P Metal.
Really liking the trigger guard. It’s the small details like an undercut and a large enough space to get a finger in there without doing some weird contortion, that makes or breaks the deal for me.
Thanks for this video. Could you make a comparaison between the Echelon and the HK VP9 (and Springfield XDM) ?
Great video as usual but for me I will stick with my Walther pdp's. Triggers are unrivaled with reliability.
Springfield Armory is a Leader in the Industry
Hope to get one when the street price comes down under $600. My Walther PPQ Q5 was $650.
Very nice presentation. Waiting to see what modules SA will come out with. Looking forward to a subcompact or even micro compact size module.

That's 1 good looking gun
Does the brass hit the optic occasionally? My Glocks are hard on optics as the brass when ejected piss pounds the optic’s aluminum housing. Thanks
@Justin Opinion, would you spend your hard earned dollars on this pistol over the competitors such as the M&P 2.0 Full Size or a Glock 17? I see the obvious value points in the system -- the optic mount, the slide, the frame, the sights etc. -- but if you bought one pistol this year, would it be the Echelon over the others?
Hey!, Just'N! I checked on your channel and I had to subscribe again!!!! Anyway, I have no idea about you on the Echelon. Can you make a vid about Beretta APX vs Glock 17 vs Echelon vs Walther PDP??? Air Assault!
Looks very nice. Now just need a TAC pak with longer threaded barrel, suppressor height tritium night sights.
Seems like a nice pew pew, I like more than XD. What type mags does it take? Are they new magazines or capable with other Springfields?
It’s literally a full size hellcat pro mix with the Xdm with some extra love on it

I may have missed it on the video, can the RMR be mounted directly on the slide using the provide pins (no adapter plate required)? Thank you for the very informative video, I always enjoy them.

Supposedly it will accept up to 30 different optics with pins directly to the slide without need of plates.
I have an issue that my fingers wrap to far around handles. So my off hand crushes them into the gun causing pain. I really want to see the large frame see if that prevents my issue
Please compare to the sig p365 xmacro and hellcat pro along with s&w shield plus performance center...grip texture, co witness sights, triggers, capacities, optic ready. Recoil, Fit & Finish, and how they fit in the hand. Thank you.

If it feeds steel cased ammo, then it's already doing well... Just curious about a "limp wrist" test
I want the one with the threaded barrel. 👍 review
Always great content. 👍🏻
I tottaly get the moisture getting on the lens when shooting. The bang compresses the air and it make the air give up its moisture. I would get that in the summer in Missouri when i would shoot my ar rifles. I would always look around wondering where that moisture was coming from
From it's grip module to it's chassis design & takedown method, the Echelon looks a lot like a Croatian copy of the Beretta APX.

It’s just my opinion also. Looks better than a Glock and Shadow System. I would get that soon with my XD and XDM lineup.
Looks like a pistol that's gonna make an HK blush.
I would love to see an honest comparison of the Echelon with the CZ P 10 c. Your honest opinion 😀.
Justin, you should compare it to the Sig P320 AXG Legion.👍
Justin, I have a question for you buddy. Did Sig send you one of the new Sig P320 AXG Legions to review like they did for other channels?
Which Trijicon model do you have mounted on your Echelon?
Does your mags rattle while in gun? Mine does. Should i worry?
Looks like a well thought out pistol. I'll wait until they fix ALL of the Prodigy issues (10 months later)..... Proud owner but disappointed in on the ongoing, unresolved issues (also own the hellcat and the hellcat pro which I am happy with). I think I am going to stop there and not buy into the big 7/12 hype. Curious, is it only the media kit that comes with the extra frame? Great video as usual.

The shadow system is a Gucci glock. They are literally glock clone interchangeable parts and everything. This pistol actually has some innovations like can accept thirty different optics without a mounting plate it's a modular trigger system. Probably one only few pistols that totally ambidextry Like the Sig 320. And though out slide serrations. They actually thought about what people would want on this one.

Thank you for this review. Very flat shooting. I think I like it, but I don't want or need yet another mere 9mm Luger pistol. If they make one in 10mm Auto, or at least .357 SIG, then I'd want one with a 5" barrel, solid steel RSA, and an ambidextrous manual thumb safety (AMTS). Of course, it would first have to be proven durable and reliable enough. Good things! 👍
Sig P320 and Hellcat pro had 4 way with XD and Styre.
Maybe I missed but was this put on a trigger guage?
Does it come with all of the pins for every optic option or will those be a separate purchase?
