Use code BF25
They also have threaded barrel gear pack for a few bucks less

My echelon is very solid. I’m at over 3k rounds through it with 0 failures to feed or jams. I bought it because of Honest Outlaw’s durability video and it has not disappointed.

Have you shot a MP 2.0? If so, how do you compare them?
Randyd718@reddit
Sig owner and prefer the echelon by a lot, having shot both.
Ok_Shopping_1184@reddit
I’ve shot the all metal one, so not really comparable in terms of recoil. They’re as accurate as one another, though. I have an old M&P 1.0 and echelon would smoke it
Randyd718@reddit
Any bundle deals for full size echelon?

Keep in mind that you are basically buying a gun and mags because that optic is not worth it at all
Storage_Ottoman@reddit
I’ve heard stories of people selling the optic for 50+ bucks, so maybe worth something. I got the Taurus TX22 combo that came with it and it is serviceable, but it’s also my first handgun and only optic, so no basis for comparison.
Gonna be picking up my Canik Rival-S with Mecanik MO3 this weekend though, so that opinion will surely change 😏
Berry_Micockiner@reddit
Having shot both the Taurus and the Echelon, the echelon is significantly more snappy than the TX22
Storage_Ottoman@reddit
I considered the Echelon for my first 9 and shot it at my local range and the ergos were decent and I shot it ok, but I particularly disliked the nearly imperceptible trigger reset.
I think this is an objectively solid deal, but in my (very limited) experience and research, seems like there are other comparable (cost wise) options worth considering.

You'd be surprised that the stock trigger on this is better than 70% of stock triggers on striker compact pistols.
Breaks in around 200 rounds and feels fine. I'll still replace mine eventually
Storage_Ottoman@reddit
I don’t doubt that. The overall action, take up, and break felt good. But, as a pretty new shooter, I find a really clear feeling reset is helpful for me to have and it just wasn’t there. I know, I know—probably a skill issue. And it’s possible that this one was just used and abused since it was a range rental, andi have no doubt that it would get better/I would get used to it over time.
Again, not saying this is a bad deal or a bad gun. Seems like great value and have definitely seen a lot of really great reviews.
haayyeett@reddit
Try a SW MP 2.0 or a canik, tbh only stock triggers on a compact striker that may be a little better.
Or if you want a value king RXM is 100% the move, but that trigger rolls foreverrrr. But that's not terrible for a carry gun(if that's what you're going for)
TBH as long as you have one and then practice practice until you get comfy with it all that matters unless you are trying to competition shoot. Good luck!

I just bought a Canik Rival-S after falling in love with it at the range and getting a pretty great deal at Academy. I know it’s full-sized and steel frame, so not really comparable to this Echelon, but their tp9sf (which is probably a bit closer) also felt pretty nice. Missed an even better deal on the SFT pro back in September (~400 all in after rebate), but wasn’t quite ready to buy yet. Not mad about spending a little more on steel. Picking it up tomorrow!
Berry_Micockiner@reddit
Once you put the Tyrant Trigger on it things change for the better (significantly)
MyRedditAccountSuckz@reddit
Shouldn't have to put a trigger in it to make it decent though. You put a trigger in to make a good gun great. Personally I would just get a canik, one of the best triggers for the price
No_Leg6630@reddit
Comparing a .22 to a 9mm?
Berry_Micockiner@reddit
I was trying to say that 22 has no recoil compared to 9 so even a shit optic can hold zero on 22
GoNe2heLL@reddit
It pisses me off to no end that you get all this for 575 and for some stupid reason P10C Comp jumped from $430 to $550 and you still need to buy a optics plate etc etc etc
cheeh00@reddit
Do these come with mag extension base plates?
BobsBurgersJoint@reddit
I got the tritium, 4.5 non comp and it came with one mag extension to make it have 3 20 round mags/2 17 round mags.
BobsBurgersJoint@reddit
This is $550 at Academy Sports, another 5% off if you have their credit card (covers tax basically), no shipping if local pick up, and no tax if in FL.
Pale_Community1203@reddit (OP)
That deal is for the full size gun non compensated version
BobsBurgersJoint@reddit
True
answeryboi@reddit
A 4' barrel seems excessive.
Pale_Community1203@reddit (OP)
😂 that’s how it grabbed the title from the website
