$50 cheaper then the Berelli deal
mxguy762@reddit
God damnit I wanted the 4” comp gear up pac but $400 sounds way better then $800.
Decisions decisions 🤔
Jason1435@reddit
Get a gunsmith to port it for $150 and that's $250 saved. Could do even better with like a 4 port inline comp
FledglingNonCon@reddit
Same. Tough choice.
Jason1435@reddit
Best southpaw gun for the money in existence IMO
Legitimate_North5294@reddit
Hell of a deal if this is your jam. Don’t own one mg self but I’ve heard nothing but great things about the echelon
Sanc7@reddit
I just price matched with Academy’s online chat. $423 after taxes. Pick up June 1st.
biglmbass@reddit
Glad it worked out for you, but I don't think this is the exact same gun. The one in the SW link has a loaded chamber indicator.
Sanc7@reddit
I initially sent them the wrong gun and they said they can only price match if it’s the exact same item. I sent them that one and they verified it was the same. I wouldn’t be surprised if it came with a loaded indicator, I figured the whole point of having 10rd mags was because it was California compliant. Either way I live in Texas where it doesn’t matter. Good catch though!
real_fluffernutter34@reddit
Do you happen to have the SKU for this version on academy’s website? I thought about trying a price match but couldn’t find this version. In my experience with academy they only price match if you have a matching SKU

Thank you!

I think it's really hard to go wrong with any of the $400-$600 polymer striker 9mm guns right now. Just take your pick of a Glock, M&P, PDP, this gun, RXM, Canik Mete, or a p-10.
All of them are going to be quality guns. The only incorrect pick is the p320
jrhooo@reddit
Yup. I am a VP9 guy myself, but I gotta admit VP9 is kind of pricing themselves out with wanting another $150-$200 bump on their optics cut versions, when it seems like the competition is including OR cuts as an standard feature
caterham09@reddit
Yeah I mean you always pay a premium for HK.
Embarrassed-Lie2272@reddit
I’d say for pure value the RXM is king of the hill. I legitimately swapped over from a Gen 5 19 to an RXM and have no regrets
TubeSockLover87@reddit
How many other parts are compatible with glocks, like internal parts?
BenDover42@reddit
I know a connector is. I got an RXM COA at my LGS for $765 the week they launched and threw an OEM minus connector in it. Haven’t messed with it other than that. Might add a ramjet later to see how fancy I can make this $400 gun lol
Embarrassed-Lie2272@reddit
As someone who got the ramjet for their RXM yes it does indeed fornicate
Embarrassed-Lie2272@reddit
90%. Some trigger stuff isn’t but Ruger lists all of it on their shopruger site for cheap.
Important-Nobody-228@reddit
Having owned both the Echelon and RXM, I think the Echelon beats the RXM hands down, but I am not a Glock fan.
DiscoMagicJesus@reddit
I think he just means from a value standpoint, which he's right. You can find an RXM for like $300 and it does mostly what a $600 gun can.
That being said I think RXMs are ugly af, and I hate that they come with tall sights. I'd rather just pay a little extra for the Echelon which looks, feels, and shoots a little better. CZ needs to get off their asses and revamp the P10 series with a newer multi-cut optics footprint and maybe an FCU so I don't have to give Springfield any more of my money.
Randyd718@reddit
Of course my first gun was a p320, i replaced it with an echelon and love it.
PapaAquchala@reddit
I have one, incredible handgun. Super crisp trigger, optics are easy to mount with no adapter plate needed, and easy to take down for cleaning
cateater75@reddit (OP)
I have 2 and they are nice pistols, the optic mounting was super easy, and the triggers are nice.
No_Pickle_3027@reddit
why does it have a loaded chamber indicator?
biglmbass@reddit
some states require that feature
Abject_Egg_194@reddit
FYI - for folks like me who live in low-freedom states, the 10-round version is on sale too.

JBMT86@reddit
Echelon deals keep popping up. What is the point of this gun, and I don't mean that in a bad way I just have so many 4-in 4 1/2 inch pistols.
C'mon give me a good optics ready mp shield plus
biglmbass@reddit
Just another polymer pistol, but it's pretty rich in features and many would say it's better than a Glock
Background_Chef_1826@reddit
Heads up this has a magazine disconnect and has the white lettering on top for loaded chamber. Its a quasi CA model confirmed with the store
CallsignViperrr@reddit
FYI: They have MULTIPLE Echelons on sale at this price. Do the correct search and you'll find the non-CA model at the $399 price as well. Just wanted to let you know.
PrestigiousShop5878@reddit
im in the industry and get an industry discount and this is even cheaper than that. shiiiii
Fearless-Jeweler-318@reddit
woah, an echelon without 25 dollars worth of junk inflating the price by 2-300 dollars, this is a day to remember
Sanc7@reddit
Price matched it with academy. $423 after taxes. Thanks for the heads up!
Confident_Bit_7613@reddit
U went in the store and showed them?
Sanc7@reddit
No I used their online chat. Sent them the link to the deal, they sent me a link to pay and they shipped it to my store. They can only match 100 off online, then they’ll refund me 150 after pick up.
Confident_Bit_7613@reddit
Damn bro u on to something 😮💨
Sanc7@reddit
It was ezpz
chicken566@reddit
This gun fucks. Get it
Alpha_Digital@reddit
Currently own one of these and its a fantastic gun. What a deal.
Zemerax@reddit
One of my favorites.
I'm almost tempted to just grab a 2nd at this price 😂
jay_kay25@reddit
What’s up with the ffl charge?
real_fluffernutter34@reddit
Yeah that $15 fee kinda fucks the deal a bit
jay_kay25@reddit
Still a great deal nonetheless but a pretty dumb fee in my opinion
IllSkyHelix111@reddit
sportsman's warehouse is a brick&mortar store. they want you to come in and hopefully buy other stuff as well.
sgantm20@reddit
of course its restricted in my area
joman8390@reddit
They have the 10 round model on sale too
sgantm20@reddit
Yeah, it’s such a good deal but I have been wanting the 15.
DuvalFE@reddit
BIN pricing if you’re looking
Chirpthird310@reddit
Of course CA version costs more and is neutered
killerradar1@reddit
I have a 4 inch compensated version of this, a walther pdp pro e 4 inch, pdp match, and p226 xfive. It is really hard to make accurate shots past 15 yards with the echelon, whereas I could consistently get shots within a 4 inch circle at 20 yards with my other pistols. Id only recommended this as a carry because it is light and small, but would not recommend this for fun.
NeonSpaceGhost@reddit
Awesome deal! Definitely BIN for anyone that was considering one. I have the compact and love it. Great feel. Reliable. My go to EDC.
Salreth@reddit
I want to get an echelon. Do I spring for this or wait for a good sale on comp version?
Context I already rock a .45 1911 for home defense. This would be more for conceal carry.
cateater75@reddit (OP)
This is a full size so 4.5 in barrel. Not saying it’s impossible but it would be a little tougher to conceal. But I think at think price it’s an amazing choice.
sonofsandhill@reddit
Need a deal on a thread barrel version
Confident_Bit_7613@reddit
Should I order or not lol 😂
Congenital_Stirpes@reddit
I wanted to hate this thing but I can’t. It’s fine, even good, and this is a great price.
crabcakemeister@reddit
What a deaaal. Is thjs the U dot or 3 dot? I don't think I like the U dot tbh, anybody got opinions on echelon irons?
cateater75@reddit (OP)
Personally I prefer the u-dot but it’s different for everyone. And I can’t tell which one it is but the side picture of the rear sight looks like the u-dot from a different picture.
crabcakemeister@reddit
Thanks maybe I'll play around with it more at my LGS. I wasn't a fan the first time I tried it.
TheVeryBrokenPiano@reddit
I have the 4.5fc and I love it. The variable interface system is pretty neat too, makes for easy direct mounting for different footprint optics.
HRslammR@reddit
Holy F what a good deal
