Echelon 4.5 Comp - AT LAST!

[New_Spin]

At LONG last...
Something like 10 months since being added to the Roster...
I finally have my Echelon Comp in-hand
I waited a tad longer for the Gear Pac of course, but I hadn't even seen any Comp models on shelves until recently anyways.
Shoutout to Discount Gun Mart's annual Parking Lot Sale, best price I've seen I think anywhere for the 4.5 Comp Gear Pac (cheaper than a lot of vendors I've seen offering just the 4.5 Comp... non-Gear Pac )
Picked it up yesterday, and of course it took all of... less than 1hr 20mins for me to put on the goodies I've been hording for it for the last like 9 months
Gear Pac comes with a Viridian green dot, I swapped it out for a Holosun 407C X2
Also added a TLR-7 HX
And wouldn't you know it: I took it apart to inspect/clean/lube everything up and the mag disconnect seems to have fallen out and I can't find it anywhere, damndest thing

Can't wait to get to the range with this thing ASAP! This is my first full-size
Anyone else finally get their hands on one of these bad boys after WAY too long?

Congrats! I got mine a few months ago but am still waiting on the Tyrant trigger to finish the build. Highly recommend the Mischief Machine or Icarus Grips if you want to add a little more weight to the grip.

I've actually got my eye on the Sharps Bros
I made the mistake of holding one at that same sale event
I'm done for

It’s not the comped but I have the sharps bros grip and i recommend it.

I like the look of that optic that comes in the pack, just wish it didn't load the battery from underneath.

Congrats! I have the 4.0C (non-comped) and love it. Just renewed my CCW and added it to that so I can't wait to finally carry it. Was thinking of the 4.0C Comp but it wasn't out and I couldn't wait.

Same! Just added the 4.0C to CCW. Excellent carry gun and am fighting urge to slap the full size grip module on it.

I'm waiting for the Icarus compact grip to come out. They said back in April that in about 6 months, they may have it. I've got so many compact mags that putting the full size grip module means buying new mags. Plus the current grip is perfect for my hands and the full size grip will most likely print more.

I think you can convert the mags with just a baseplate swap if I remember correctly.

Carry a Hellcat Pro comp but looking at the 4.5 as a house gun.

Hmm, didn't think that was possible.

That's what I got mine for
I carry a P365, and it was my stand-in bedside gun as well until the Echelon finally came in haha

Looks like same magazine size.

 

[dirty_monkey]

i been wanting to get the 4.0FC. But i think ill get the 4.0C comp and buy the FC frame.

I tried the Icarus, the sharps and finally landed on the mischief machine. It’s the best for the echelon in my opinion. Everyone is different of course. Great gun regardless.

What did you like about it over the others? Any pros/cons for all 3?
I've only handled the Sharps and it felt amazing, and generally heard/seen great reviews. I have heard getting the COG inserted is a tight fit though.

 

[angryasian]

All of the grip aluminum modules are tight by design, some tighter than others. I like how the mischief machine grips go all the way to the slide. The sharps grips stop lower leaving a smooth area. That being said, if the sharps felt great to you, get those.

Congrats! I just have the standard full-size, and dropped it into the Sharps Bros grip. I'm really impressed with the pistol even in stock configuration, and plan to get another for my wife for a his/hers matching set.
