The Echelon’s serialized stainless-steel Central Operating Group (COG) fire-control chassis is the core of the pistol, providing a robust, removable, and clearly identified component as the serialized element. This example bears import and proof markings reading HS PRODUKT MADE IN CROATIA and is marketed by Springfield Armory, with the case label confirming SKU EC9459B-3D.
The 4.5 inch hammer-forged steel barrel with a 1:10 twist is paired to a black Melonite-finished steel slide featuring aggressive front and rear serrations. A 5-slot Picatinny rail on the dustcover offers straightforward attachment of compatible lights or accessories.
Springfield’s Variable Interface System (VIS) provides a direct-mount optics interface, and this pistol includes the factory optics cut with the cover plate and screws installed. Fully ambidextrous controls include both the slide stop and the magazine release, and the trigger blade safety is standard for this striker-fired design.
This full-size 9mm configuration ships with tritium 3-dot sights for low-light visibility and a generous magazine package: two 20-round and three 17-round factory steel magazines, with a mix of standard and extended baseplates. Additional backstraps allow grip size tuning, and the original box, paperwork, test target, and loader round out a complete factory set.
