Springfield Echelon weight

[Deleted member 16735]

Does anyone have an accurate weight on the 4.5? Springfield lists the 4.0 at 24oz and the 4.5 at 23.9oz. Now I ain't no mathmagician but I feel like adding a half inch of slide and barrel would normally make the pistol heavier but is that just what it really is?

AI seems to think the 4.0 is 24.0-24.7oz and the 4.5 is 26.2oz

That seems more reasonable but sorry I only have the 4.0comp so can’t weigh one for you

yeah I mean that's what I would expect, a 2-3 oz difference, it's always possible they designed the slide to be lighter though and it is actually the same. For instance the M&P 5" slide itself weighs the same as the 4.25, it's only the longer barrel that makes it weigh slightly more

Looks like the AI response I got pulled from this site https://www.thearmorylife.com/battle-of-the-comps-echelon-4-0c-vs-4-5f/

That’s comp vs comp. 24.7 vs 26.2. CA version with non comp will be slightly heavier from the lack of holes in barrel/slide and the couple extra tiny CA compliant bits, but should be about the same ratio.

Mine weighs 23.6 and 26.5 with and empty mag. Also the Mag lock fell out.
