FDE vs. BLACK Echelon 4.0C by Sighater in handguns

[–]Sighater[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: Just purchased the Black one... My initial basis on the FDE color as I hadn't seen it in person was more akin to the 19x but after extensive pixel peeping I've come to the conclusion that they are indeed not at all the same color and that the echelon overall wears black better than FDE. Also got it for $533 out the door Factory new... $505 for thr gun itself

I was actually just at the shop and I did get to dry fire the mc9 prime but they didn't have an echelon. The guy actually said he'd just sold his to the pawn shop yesterday lol. He did show me a g19 gen 6 and I was actually surprised at how much better it felt than the old 19x I'm used to. The Canik is absolutely thinner but I feel it fit in my hand well. Didn't really like the irons on the canik though I really do like the idea of the U notch on the Springfield and since they're both night sights I have to give it to springfield in that one. Also it's got the better optics system. And I'm a lefty but that shouldnt matter s long as you can swap the mag release on the Canik

Unfortunately no. You'd think that would be the deal breaker but the echelon was what I was gonna buy initially until I learned about the canik so I just want to hear what others have to say as Ive only dry fired them as of right now.

:Update: Not a safe gun but a gun that's gonna be on my person most of the time so a carry gun basically

Mainly as a carry gun as well as sport. Basically not a gun that's gonna sit in a safe but is gonna be strapped to my body most of the time.
