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

[-]

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.

[-]

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!

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.
