Echelon cycling

If I feel fancy, I might add full size slide and grip module later.
Oh brother, this is P365 Lego spending spree all over again

Yeah I found a full size slide on here for cheap but now I just want a second cog which you can't really find cheap and it may have just been cheaper to just buy a whole pistol lol. I'm not sure there's even that much difference between the 4 and 4.5 as far as recoil, the 4 is actually pretty good.

I was very surprised by how well echelon shoots when compared it side by side with MP and PDP last year at R66 expo.
Ergonomics worked great for me, liked sights and LCI implementation, trigger was pretty good. Not PDP good, but still nice. $640 Turners sale price was too good to pass, especially after @pancakes promised to sell me his and then ghosted 😂

I was the guy who wanted compact first, then was willing to buy both, at the store of your choice.
Doesn’t matter, water under the bridge
 
Feels good and pretty heavy - 1.8lb vs c3.6 - 1.5 lbs, P-01 -1.6lbs

Will definitely replace xmacro with echelon. Not sure if I should amend or wait until it’s time to renew ( 23 months

I have like 8 months, do I pay the 188 or just wait.... I only have one out of the three guns that were on my permit and it's a full size m&p, it's actually not bad to conceal though but the echelon is a bit more trim

that’s how I ended my last term. Out of three guns I started with, last 9 -10 months I had only P-01.
I really like it, but I don’t shoot it as well as echelon or c3.6 for whatever reason.

I'm glad you were able to resolve your issue... Although I don't like the mag disconnect.. I don't want to tinker with my gun at that level just yet.

On a scale of 1 to PDP, the Echelon is much closer to 1. The M&P is also fairly simple to get rid of the MD.

I can understand not wanting to mess with guns beyond a field strip, but I do think it's worth taking a look even if you don't plan to tinker. Between manuals, exploded parts diagrams, and YouTube videos, there are plenty of resources to follow along for learning. And if you do decide to tinker, you can always take photos first for reference when you're putting everything back together.

Just my two cents
