The Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0C Gear Pac 9mm striker-fired pistol sets a new benchmark for compact, duty-grade modular performance. Built around a hardened stainless-steel, serialized Central Operating Group (COG), the Echelon’s design delivers exceptional strength, adaptability, and long-term reliability in a carry-optimized format. Purpose-built for concealed carry, the Echelon 4.0C retains the advanced features of the full-size Echelon while incorporating a shorter 4-inch hammer-forged barrel and a compact grip frame for improved concealability. Chambered in 9mm, it includes both 15-round and 18-round magazines, offering flexible capacity options without compromising shootability. Weighing approximately 24 ounces, the pistol combines a textured polymer grip with its stainless-steel chassis to provide secure, duty-ready ergonomics suitable for personal defense, competition, or professional use.

The slide features a black Melonite finish and is equipped with a white-dot front sight paired with a U-notch rear for fast, intuitive target acquisition in all lighting conditions. This Gear Pac model comes factory-installed with a Viridian RFX11 Green Dot optic, making it ready for carry or duty use right out of the box. Modularity is a defining feature of the Echelon 4.0C. The patented COG is a fully self-contained, serialized chassis that allows quick grip-module changes to adapt the pistol to different roles or hand sizes. The optics-ready slide incorporates Springfield Armory’s Variable Interface System (VIS), a low-profile, direct-mount solution that supports a wide range of popular red-dot optics including Trijicon RMR, Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, and Springfield Micro/Shield RMS & SMS without the need for adapter plates. Additional plates are available for expanded compatibility.

Aggressive slide serrations, ambidextrous controls, and dual mounting standards enhance handling and accessory compatibility. The Echelon 4.0C Gear Pac further increases value by including four magazines one 15-round and three 18-round along with the Viridian RFX11 Green Dot optic, a magazine loader, interchangeable backstraps, and a premium pistol bag. Rugged, highly adaptable, and engineered for speed and control, the Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0C Gear Pac delivers professional-grade reliability, precision, and modularity for shooters who demand uncompromising performance in a compact 9mm platform.
