The Springfield Echelon 4.0FC delivers duty-grade performance in a compact, highly adaptable 9mm platform designed for concealed carry, home defense, and professional use. Built around Springfield’s innovative Central Operating Group (COG) serialized chassis system, the Echelon allows true modularity while maintaining exceptional durability and reliability. Its forged steel slide with Black Melonite finish pairs with a 4.0-inch barrel to provide excellent balance, controllability, and accuracy in a compact frame size.

Equipped from the factory with a closed-emitter red dot optic from :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} and Springfield’s Variable Interface System (VIS), the Echelon allows direct optic mounting without plates for a lower, more secure fit. Suppressor-height co-witness sights, adaptive grip texture, and a flat-face trigger enhance speed and confidence in all conditions, making the Echelon 4.0FC a modern defensive pistol ready straight out of the box.
