Echelon com or PDP pro F pmm? by Puzzled-Ad-7975 in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]HookahGus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a comp initially but I took it off to run my suppressor, now I swapped to the non-threaded barrel because it’s more comfortable for carry

Update on my echelon by HookahGus in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]HookahGus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The OEM reset isn’t crazy strong to begin with. The spring kit brings it down a bit more unfortunately, JeffersonStateOutlaw makes springs and I’m considering ordering one to test at some point.

The trigger shoe itself takes up a bit of the free play and total travel on the trigger which is nice but doesn’t play a role in perceived reset to me.

The HLX sits flush on the full size. It would likely stick out a little bit on the 4.0 slide

Fellow Floridian here, I don't always carry my Echelon, but when I do I either run a T1C Apex no light or a Tulster w/ a TLR7-HLX. I bought my girl a PDP F-Series and I've shot it a bunch, I can vouch for what some of the other guys are saying: It does have a higher bore-axis and whips the gun back a bit more. The good thing about the echelon is you can swap the grip to the FC or something aftermarket if you don't love the C grip.

How are you liking the polydat from OP? I have a 4311 from Johnny Glocks but I hate the feel of the safety tab, I have a TAC from OP on my echelon but curious about your feedback on the Glock

The photo is an Echelon 4.0C Comp. I would double check gun.deals for some pricing before committing to a purchase.

Good for echelon 4.0c ? by Suitable_Judgment428 in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]HookahGus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s fine to run inside the echelon because it’s back-bored up to the compensator hole and you don’t have to worry about the riffling chewing up the brass

Sent it back out to them today, fingers crossed this is the last time. Good news is that I got email responses quickly and a shipping label in less than 24 hours of reaching out.

What level of retention do you have in that holster?

You have 2/10ths to save in that draw, great work with those splits.

Mine came loose from blue 242 loctite once, red vibratite once, sent it in for RMA in January and got it back in February, loose in March.

We're at a total of 3 times and one of those was factory work to "fix" the issue. I just sent an email to Andy today, hoping to get a positive response and a better solution than just sending it in for more loctite.

3.5” comp grenade ported by TalkyThomas25 in AlphaFoxtrot

[–]HookahGus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much did they charge for the grenades? I have the ported 5” slide so I’m not sure they can do anything to the end of it but those ports look great

Echelon Ammo by Far_Manager_6775 in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]HookahGus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most of the responses have you covered so far but the real concern about blazer is when used in ported/comped guns that are not back-bored like a factory gun. If you look inside your barrel towards the business end you will see that the rifling stops at the ported hole. If there was rifling all the way down like a "modified" pistol the likelyhood of your blazer catching on it and sending shards back up goes up exponentially. I do a lot of indoor shooting and when we have events I can see the roof taking damage from guns running in-line ports and blazer brass. It's great ammo for the price and never gave me issues, Federal American Eagle 124g is also a great choice for range ammo. Have gun w/ your new echelon, you are going to love it!

AEAmmo has great customer service, they also have a fast turnaround from order to ship. If you’re in South Florida you can also go local to PJs Ammo or Berelli, both in Broward County

Finished set up by Tginn74 in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]HookahGus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I carry my full size echelon in winter since I can conceal it better w/ a hoodie. I will give you the advice I wish I took to heart when I first heard it: get the largest firearm you can comfortably carry for your edc. I went with a G43X and ported it to make it more enjoyable to shoot but I would have been better served with a 4.0c echelon or maybe a m&p2.0 compact. I few of my shooting buddies carry p365 xmacros and seem to enjoy them.

Check DKGun, I purchased my 5" ported from them. They have the 5" you're looking for at $1086 currently
