Information

At the heart of the Echelon lies the all-new Central Operating Group. Employing cutting edge manufacturing techniques, the Central Operating Group is entirely self-contained and serialized allowing it to be easily moved between grip modules in seconds. Precision built from stainless steel, the chassis provides a robust housing for its patent-pending operating system.
Concealed beneath the slide cover plate is the Echelon’s patent-pending optic mounting system. The Variable Interface System allows users to mount over 30 optics directly to the slide without the use of adapter plates. Simply configure the self-locking pins for the footprint of your desired optic to achieve a low, direct mount for improved sight picture and intuitive alignment.

The Variable Interface System employs patent-pending self-locking pins to complete the most advanced optics mounting system on the market. As the mounting screws are torqued to spec, the pins exert lateral pressure on the optic’s interior mounting surface to eliminate variance and left/right movement. The result is an unparalleled fit between the slide and a wide variety optics.

Thoroughly tested for ease of manipulation, the Echelon’s patent-pending slide features four distinct engagement surfaces. A trench cut forward of the action gives shooters a natural index location for press checks and charging the firearm. The back of the slide is flared for positive purchase while deep forward and rear serrations are carried through the corners for a firm grip from any angle.

FORWARD TRENCH

Creating a natural index point this relief cut assists shooters who charge or press check their firearm from the front of the slide while keeping hands clear of the action.

FLARED SLIDE

Further enhancing the ability to manipulate the firearm the rear of the slide is flared for additional engagement.

THE PERFECT FIT

The Central Operating Group can be installed in any Echelon grip module allowing shooters to create a firearm that fits perfectly in your hand. The pistol comes standard with the medium grip module and three interchangeable backstraps while small and large frames can be purchased separately.

3 BACKSTRAP SIZES

The Echelon ships with three backstraps – each with an integrated armorers tool. These patent-pending backstraps are universal and can be installed in the small, medium, and large grip frames.

3 GRIP SIZES

Alternative grip modules give shooters the ability to find a configuration that fits them best. Available in small, medium, and large, each grip module accepts the Central Operating Group and all three backstraps.

ADAPTIVE GRIP TEXTURE

Developed for the challenges of concealed carry, the Adaptive Grip Texture feels smooth to the touch until you apply pressure and engage the more aggressive texture just below the surface.

OVERSIZE TRIGGER GUARD

Oversized for use with gloved hands, the Echelon features an enlarged trigger guard that is undercut.

AMBIDEXTROUS

The Echelon is equipped with an ambidextrous slide stop and magazine release for intuitive use.

TEXTURED INDEXING POINTS

Common indexing points on the Echelon are textured for an extra-firm grip.

The Echelon employs a newly developed magazine for rugged durability, hard use and reliable operation. Blacked out in an all new scratch and wear resistant coating, the magazine features a capacity of 17+1 in its flush fit configuration and 20+1 with the extended base pad installed. A low capacity 10-round model is also available.

The Echelon’s patent-pending trigger harnesses the advantages of the Central Operating Group to deliver superior performance. Entirely contained within the chassis, critical components are machined from tool steel and highly polished for a clean take up, defined wall, crisp break and short, positive reset. The result is a trigger that redefines expectations.

Built with safety in mind, the Echelon is designed and tested to exceed SAAMI drop test parameters by adhering to even tougher standards – our own. In addition to passing rigorous testing, the Echelon’s Central Operating Group features a unique second sear design to help prevent unintentional discharge should the firearm be dropped. Field stripping the Echelon is toolless and requires no pull of the trigger.

The Echelon comes standard with the tactical rack U-Notch rear sight and a tritium front sight with luminescent ring. A tritium 3-dot configuration is also available. Optional suppressor height sights are available for purchase. Combining these options with native optics support the Echelon represents the most dynamic sighting system on the market.
