The New Springfield Armory Echelon. Full review on the Sootch00 TH-cam channel! Big thanks to @springfieldarmoryusa @trijicon #sootch00 #springfieldarmory #echelon #new #reels #trijicon #Shorts
They’re coming fam. After seeing S&W making the metal, more will follow suit. Alloy is becoming more popular and many like myself don’t mind a slightly heavier but more rigid piece.
Picked one up today… The firearm is beyond fantastic for the price you pay. Smooth, crisp, structured, sleek, power.. Shes a keeper! I will say though the ambidextrous mag release isn’t to my preference. I will be (mildly) grinding down the right side. When I mag release on the left (normal) side my mild hand movement grazes over the right side and I won’t lie. It’s a little sharp. Aside from that. 10/10!!
I shot it today for free at Vance’s they had a free giveaway thing u enter and u get to shoot ten rounds it is a nice pistol I like the night iron sights it’s very accurate, I got bullseye on first shot
Same here I like ALL the features of the XDM elite series.this ones absent of I think they're trying to placate the whiners who wanted the XDM to be more like a Glock which is tragic lol
I am currently trying to get rid of my flinch. Your flinch and reaction say it all. Hey Sootch00, do you have a video that tries to tackle "The Flinch?"
I like the ledge in back and terench in front..my xd' s are getting hard to rack with my hands.wish they made a ledge tyoe thing for both my XD'S if they do i cant find.if you can do a video on that if they make them..keeo up the great work...been watching for along time....used you reviews to pick the firearms i have for my EDC...IM A SPRINGFIELD GUY...
It should have used the same magazines as the XD, but no they want to make more proprietary magazines so that they can discontinue those so you can't get them any more, or they're more expensive.
Watch the honest outlaw review. Dude will always shoot you straight. Small time gun reviewers like to be negative any chance they get because negativity gets more clicks than praise. They’re trying to grow their channel.
We can wish but like all the other new guns that have been coming out this is only available in 9mm. Id love this in 40 or 10mm but soy boys cry about recoil to much
9mm and 10mm why even bother with .40 or .45 with modern ballistics? 9mm is as effective and you hold more rounds, if i need more power i grab the 10. .40 is just a neutered 10mm.
That's absolutely incorrect. Springfield Armory has never made the XD, the Hellcat, the Hellion, or the Echelon. They only imported those guns from Croatia and gave them new names for the American market.
@@Shift1dwn5up that’s how buyin imports are most the time. These companies always run the tax on us even if they could still be rich with charging half, they still wouldn’t.
@cumshot247 The Sig P320 is a Chassis system with a serialized fire control group, a non-serialized frame and slide, which is the same concept as the new Echelon.
@cumshot247 More or Less. Obviously, Sig has its own patented design for the chassis, and the Echelon will have to differ from that. As far as 1911s go, I think it's great to see so many companies trying to innovate. They're keeping the legendary platform alive for years to come.
you have so much shooting experience and such a typical novice mistake - waiting for recoil. therefore there was that "nod" of the barrel at the last second of the video
@JustinLaFleur1990 , no it isn't SIG 320s have really high up bore and Glocks have more of a standard bore line. Tell you know nothing about firearms without telling me you know nothing about firearms.
@trevorthomas1030 I own both a Glock 45 (model not the caliber) and a Sig P320 RXZP. I also have a video on my Sig RXZP. The fact that it uses a removable fire control unit and offers different grip modules JUST LIKE a Sig P320 makes it seem an awful lot like a Sig P320 platform. Last I checked Glock doesn't do that. Yeah its got a lower height over bore than a Sig who fucking cares I was talking about the design of the FCU and the grip module. Not the height over bore.
@JustinLaFleur1990 , it's a Glock Clone dude. Just because it has a removable trigger system doesn't mean it's a 320. Look at the design it's a Glock just like how Zev is a Glock Clone. If Glocks Gen 3 patents hadn't expired all these polymer handguns Clones wouldn't exist and that's a fact.
I work at a shop/range and we got this in today to sell and demo. For me it's a yawn. It's just another polymer handgun guys. I give it a month and nobody will even be thinking about it anymore.
Every Springfield I've ever had was a sweet shooting gun.
Yeah those Croatians make some nice shit
I have the Champion compact 1911 and the .45 XDm
I would love to personally see more alloy frame guns get made .
Why?
I’d like a titanium lower for Glock from Glock
They’re coming fam. After seeing S&W making the metal, more will follow suit. Alloy is becoming more popular and many like myself don’t mind a slightly heavier but more rigid piece.
@@mikeogden5256that would be pricey. But cool.
Amen
It's definitely a great Show Stopper and Burglar bopper...
My favorite Springfield !! ^^

Dat flinch at the end though :)
Love my 10mm Elite, will wait for it in 10mm.
Thank you Sootch for testing out the gun in the heat
Yeah - watch the trees in the background - not a bit of breeze.
HS PRODUKT made this gun, Croatian factory, they made XDM, HELLCAT, HELLCAT PRO, HELLION and ECHELON I'm so proud 🤗🤭
Springfield Armory branded
I shot it today for free at Vance’s they had a free giveaway thing u enter and u get to shoot ten rounds it is a nice pistol I like the night iron sights it’s very accurate, I got bullseye on first shot
Little hot out there huh😂
Thank goodness for sootch, always on par, no bs. facts... Great job...again.
Sootch getting her done!
Praying for bitone color way to come back 😮
Oh I hope this one gets added to the CA roster
I can't stand this fkn commie state we can't have any good weapons here 🤦🏼
I have a couple xdm’s their great!! Never a problem with them, reliable as it gets.
Im just waiting patiently for the compact version
"Made in Croetia, and is a total departure!" From what Springfield has been making!.... That is why its so damn good!
the XD and XDM lineups were very good guns as well.
I really love my Echelon. Shoots so nice. I get tired of hearing all those metal pinging noises at the range😂😂😂😂
How hot was it that day?
T shirt: Yes.
Where he lives, probably mid 90's and high humidity.
@@ACrawford36 Yup; South Carolina.
Still love my xdm elite the best, the beaver tail, grip safety, and that rough grenade grip some complain about are things I like
Safety grip is the worst thing to have imagine being injured and can't grip the gun well the gun will be useless
@@johnhek4191 yea I hate those. U never know when u might need to use the gun without being able to get a full grip.
Same here I like ALL the features of the XDM elite series.this ones absent of I think they're trying to placate the whiners who wanted the XDM to be more like a Glock which is tragic lol
Need it in 19 size
Very nice sir.
Stay hydrated, pops.
I am currently trying to get rid of my flinch. Your flinch and reaction say it all. Hey Sootch00, do you have a video that tries to tackle "The Flinch?"
nice but I don't need another 9mm. 600$at PSA for now.
I like the ledge in back and terench in front..my xd' s are getting hard to rack with my hands.wish they made a ledge tyoe thing for both my XD'S if they do i cant find.if you can do a video on that if they make them..keeo up the great work...been watching for along time....used you reviews to pick the firearms i have for my EDC...IM A SPRINGFIELD GUY...
I almost thought he wasn't wearing pants😂😂😂😂
45 id like it.
Aweßome..

You make every gun seem good. You selling for these company's. I agree this one is good tho.
I want a small version like the p365x macro
Then get a Hellcat? Or Hellcat pro? That’s literally the smaller versions they made before this came out
Will this fit in a prodigy holster?
I’ve heard about some issues with the magazines (wiggle/play) and the slide not remaining back after the last round is sent. Any issues on your end?
Sounds like a Springfield version of the Sig.
Yeah except it won't blow up in your hand or accidentally discharge for no rhyme or reason
Every small time gun reviewer: it’s okay
Every big TH-camr: EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS PHENOMENAL
Watch the honest outlaw review. Dude will always shoot you straight.
Small time gun reviewers like to be negative any chance they get because negativity gets more clicks than praise.
They’re trying to grow their channel.
When it's released in 10mm, I'll be heading to my local gun shop.
Is the grip angle the same as Glock?
What watch brand is that?
Yeah I will just keep using my Sigs. The aftermarket is already there for the Sig platform.
What watch is that?
Stay hydrated
Croatian gun's are nice.
😎🤘🍻🇺🇲. I love this range pit. I need to build me one
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice looking pistol from Springfield Armory, a departure from there usual.😊
What WATCH are you wearing Don??
He needs a watch on each wrist like "NutNFancy" lol.
Availability in 45acp ?
We can wish but like all the other new guns that have been coming out this is only available in 9mm. Id love this in 40 or 10mm but soy boys cry about recoil to much

@@fckjoebdn1776 WHY???
Because it's there...
@@snoopywl8880 weak Godless soy boys .
@@fckjoebdn1776 .45 is great suppressed
Can I borrow it. Just for 2 days.
Was supposed be the hellcat full size how was leaked. Why 9mm
What size is that magazine???
Standard is 17, that’s the 20/21 round mag
🥵
Guns a monster
Check out honestoutlaw review of it.
I love mine
They have spotty record on gun control. Think before you support them.
That's absolutely incorrect. Springfield Armory has never made the XD, the Hellcat, the Hellion, or the Echelon. They only imported those guns from Croatia and gave them new names for the American market.
Fuckin phenomenal for the price too, 630? Best gun you can get for that price.
5.7x28 FN Ruger S&W PSA have all entered the chat!
Lol made in Croatia for $200 and sold in U.S for over 600 😂
@@Shift1dwn5up that’s how buyin imports are most the time. These companies always run the tax on us even if they could still be rich with charging half, they still wouldn’t.
Only too late to compete with the p320
Springfield doesn’t make the echelon. HS produkt does. Springfield just ships them into America.
The one I have has developed a beautiful patina of rust. It's made like garbage.
Is the Clinton plantation?
It better be an upgrade from the XD series. Those things were hot garbage.
Meh. Other than the Universal Optic Mount...its unremarkable. Dog shit trigger too.
Like his reviews but never have seen his targets and bullet pattern. That’s BS.
Springfield Armory is a Leader in the Industry
You are incorrect...Sig Sauer is the industry leader. Springfield just copies Sig's innovations
@@edwardbroom925 Hmm. I don't see a Sig like this...🤔
@cumshot247 The Sig P320 is a Chassis system with a serialized fire control group, a non-serialized frame and slide, which is the same concept as the new Echelon.
@@stephen_goldX So same type of internals, but different externally.
How do you feel about the countless 1911's out there?
@cumshot247 More or Less. Obviously, Sig has its own patented design for the chassis, and the Echelon will have to differ from that.
As far as 1911s go, I think it's great to see so many companies trying to innovate. They're keeping the legendary platform alive for years to come.
I hope they go 10mm on this i can honestly see it but i most definitely want this
you have so much shooting experience and such a typical novice mistake - waiting for recoil. therefore there was that "nod" of the barrel at the last second of the video
I wish I could be excited but I'm just sick of polymer.
Croatian? I will pass…
Does it take Glock mags ? Lol
Do Glocks take Springfield Armory mags? 😒
I guess 40 is dead
whats a 40?
@@czed7515 .40 s&w
It looks like a Glock Wana be 😂😂😂
Is this the one that's been discharging on its own?
My XDm Elite 9mm has better capacity.
Lol they are copying both Sig and Glock now!! Oh and they have the worst customer service in the entire industry!!
Dumb move not using this take Xdm mags. Dumb.
That is incredibly flat shooting for a Springfield
It needs a gas pedal
As much as I love my Hellcat, I'll pass.
I'm sure it's a great pistol but I have 3 full size already. No real need and it just doesn't do it for me.
Nope
I’m not impressed lol
JUST another $600 gun. All these you boobers wil never say anything negative cause companies will stop sending them products.
Wake up people!!!
Probably trash
I thought Springfield was an American company why would it be made it Croatia
Everything they make is a Croatian or turkshit import lmao
They are just the importer. The XD, XDM, Hellcat and this are all made in Croatia
Considering their history that’s a stretch either way 😂
It's a Glock Clone!
Its actually more akin to a Sig P320 clone with the removable FCU
@JustinLaFleur1990 , no it isn't SIG 320s have really high up bore and Glocks have more of a standard bore line. Tell you know nothing about firearms without telling me you know nothing about firearms.

Eh…
and SA comes out with a new gun AND THEY PUT A PLASTIC GUIDE ROD in it. Are they trying to imitate glock ?? LOL
Cz p 09 way better
Stay hydrated. Damn you look like you're burning up 🥵
So a sig ? 😂😂
Except worse and from a worse company that imports shitty Croatian and turkish guns
Basically
At a cheaper price
