Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0C 9mm Compact Striker-Fired Pistol, Optics-Ready, 18 + 1

Named Guns & Ammo’s 2023 Handgun of the Year, this Croatian-made striker-fired pistol offers duty-grade capacity with a 4-inch hammer-forged barrel and a rugged Melonite-finished slide.

The Echelon’s Variable Interface System lets you mount more than 30 popular reflex sights directly to the slide without adapter plates, keeping optics low and secure.
Its serialized Central Operating Group allows the grip module to be swapped for different sizes or colors while preserving the fire-control unit, giving you future customization options.
Fully ambidextrous slide-stop levers and a reversible magazine release make the pistol equally intuitive for right- and left-handed shooters.
The 4-inch hammer-forged barrel features a 1:10 twist and Melonite treatment for long-term corrosion resistance, while the low 1.2-inch bore axis helps reduce muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots.
U-Dot tritium/luminescent sights deliver a bright front post and serrated rear U-notch that are easy to pick up in both daylight and low-light environments.
