Green Dot Recommendations for CCW?

Hello all!

I currently have a 6 MOA Vortex Venom on my Springfield Echelon 4.0 and was looking to upgrade in the future. I’d like to hear some recommendations on what my next jump should be towards.

Green dot would be preferred as I have astigmatism but I can get away with a red dot if it has a large enough MOA sight picture.

Just some options I’ve been looking at:

Vortex Defender CCW Reg or Enclosed

Vortex Defender ST Reg or Enclosed

Holosun EPS Carry

Holosun 507C X2

Let me know what you think! And sorry if this breaks any rule, I can take it down.

First time gun owner- went with the Echelon.

Would love recommendations for a better sight- I feel like the viridian that it came with is awful (though I do not have much to compare it to). Might just switch back to the iron sight.

Would also take any recommendations for a flashlight/laser attachment that you have enjoyed.

3 weeks in and already gone through 500 rounds. Definitely addicting and LOVE this gun

Is it normal for front sight to be off center?

Took my echelon compact to the range this week and noticed my groups were consistently high and right of center. Checked the sights and the front looks a little off. I’m guessing it needs to be between the two machining indents? Do your guys’ sights look like this?

Issues with reinstalling COG

Removed magazine disconnect, and I’m having issues getting the COG back into place.

All the videos I’ve watched make it seem easy but I’ve struggled with this for a while, and I can’t get the COG to seat properly. The pin on the rear is not sticking out as I’ve seen in some of the videos so that doesn’t seem to be the issue.

I can’t seem to push the COG rear to get the circles to align (Pic 3)

Any help is appreciated

My Echelon is Naked

I live in Cali (I know don’t judge me) and I’m looking for optics, light, and holster since my full size Echelon is completely naked.

Any other upgrades are appreciated as well.

Love the Sharps Bros grip, a little tape and it's perfect.

I've had the Sharps Bros grip module for a month or so now, the only issue I had was extremely smooth metal on parts of the grip. I cut out some of the NDZ Echelon grip panels and fixed it, how does it look?

Icarus grip module

I freaking love this grip. You never have to worry about your hands slipping. I thought I’d have issues with irritation after shooting it for a while, but 200 rounds later, this grip is FIRE. I just need to find a holster that fits it now since my incog x no longer fits. Open to ideas tho.

Just picked her up today!

Finally pulled the trigger (pun intended) and purchased me a 4.5 comp Echelon. Already added a Holosun red dot. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Flatter / “Radian-style” backstrap options for the 4.0C?

Just picked up a 4.0C Comp and I’m really liking the gun overall, but I’m running into an ergonomic issue with the OEM backstraps. The hump causes the gun to naturally point a bit high.

For comparison, I also run a P365 X Macro Comp with the Radian backstrap + magwell.

Has anyone found an aftermarket backstrap that reduces the hump / changes the angle?

Any backstrap + magwell combos that get closer to that “Radian X Macro” feel?

Thanks

Painted my Echelon Slide

Slide was FDE and I was never crazy about it, I painted it black and added a ton of flake to the clear

I used automotive paint and it shoots fine no issues, I know cerakote is the way to go but I wanted to experiment with the color to match the engine bay of my car

I have a type

(Glock 47 & Springfield Echelon) As stated, I have a type, largely due to my long fingers. The full-size platform is my type and I find it mildly interesting when other platforms such as this Echelon has the same feeling and ergonomics. The feeling of, why choose just one. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Just officially joined Echelon family!

I’m happy to say that I officially joined Echelon family. I got my permit to buy 3 months ago but was so hesitant and couldn’t decide on so many details. However today I visited gun store just to look around, have a chat and left with this beauty. Absolutely love the color 😎

Range day with the Echelon 4.0 Comp…it runs.

This is one of the flattest shooting striker fire comp guns I’ve shot, and the best OEM trigger hands down…my G45.6 just became a safe queen.

Overwatch Precision vs Tyrant Trigger

Like many Echelon owners, my ONLY gripe with this gun is how weak the reset has become in a very short period of time. It's almost like once the gun was broken in, right around 500 rounds, is when I became a lot less tactile & certainly less audible.

I'll freely admit I'm an Overwatch Precision fan. I have 1 of their TAC triggers in my MR920P, which is my other EDC. But they (OP) make no mention of reset improvement on their website, whereas Tyrant DOES. So my question is: Which of the 2 triggers improves the reset the best? I know they Tyrant certainly has less takeup. I don't wanna mess with the pull weight or anything else. I just want a better reset, so I'd like to hear y'all's opinions.

Sharps Bros magwell, now a full size grip on the 4.0C slide.

Really liking the look and feel of the full size grip and mag capacity on the 4.0C slide.

FC comp and full size.

Finally caught that restock on the FC after waiting forever.

Anyone wanting an FC grip , do it. They're so much better imo. I also ordered a black one that should be here tomorrow. Probably gonna leave the compact all black with the black FC once it gets here tomorrow.
