What does the Eschelon 4.0 do that the Glock 19 does not already do?

I really like everything about the echelons (haven’t shot one yet) and I would like the 4.5 comp. My Glock 19 is my most trusted pistol….over beretta, sig, and ok well my usp compact is right there as well but came at a price tag. G19, G21, G34. I just trust them.
 
Does anyone have a high round count Eschelon? What has your experience been?

This guy says he has 40k on his:

10k torture test

4.5 Comp is comparable to a G17. 4.0C is G19 size.
 
I had the same question but vs a g17. Seems like it's better than g17, just doesnt have enough history to confirm reliability?

I was thinking of getting rid of g17 and getting an echelon (full size)

I dunno man, of course it doesn’t have the decades of service but people have had them for years and many have put thousands of rounds through them with no malfunctions (apparently dude above has 40k on his). For me, that’s good enough to have considered it as reliable as a Glock. Off course individual guns can vary so I will shoot at least 1000 rds through mine before confirming; I picked mine up yesterday and shot 300rds with no malfunctions and plan to shoot another 300-500 later today. I’ll report back but so far this thing is great

I don’t think you should get rid of but adding an echelon would be good
