Took it out for first test drive yesterday. Distance 7 yards.
Compared to my current guns on permit (C3.6, P365 and BG2.0) P365 was with XL slide and two different grip modules - WC and MM commander.
Echelon and BG irons, C3.6 and P365 with optics. It was hotter than in devil’s anus in indoor range. Paws were wet, couldn’t get a good grip on BG2.0 and P365 with both grip modules, although MM was slightly better.
Echelon passed sweat test, so did C3.6.
Shot BG2.0 a bunch, including single handed with either hand, but not with splash targets. On splash all shots two handed with 1 second between shots. I think I as accurate with BG2.0 as with P365, not even sure if I want it anymore. C3.6 was easiest one to shoot, BG2.0 is easiest to conceal. Echelon was fun, reliable, consistent and has great irons. One thing I didn’t like was slide release which I was riding and preventing slide lock back on last round.
I think it will make a good ccw, given it’s almost same size as xmacro (a bit ticker, longer slide/barrel, and slightly shorter grip with mag inserted)
Good buy for $639 in my opinion
And yes, I need more practice
