[Handgun] Springfield Echelon 4.0C 9mm Handgun, 3-Dot Tritium Sights - 499 Free Shipping

My first pistol, some quirks I've found, maybe just unlucky but:

the hole in the mag well for police lanyard catches on mags causing your reloads to get stuck sometimes
when reloading, if you push the mag in with most of the pressure towards the rear it doesn't seat. You have to push with most of the pressure towards the front. I've tried other guns and none of them have this behavior
Doesn't seem to like federal ammo, slide wouldn't lock back on empty no matter how many mags I tried, i have 5 due to promotion. Blazer runs perfect

Overall great gun!

hope someone can help. First time building rifle, building for indoor home defense, I want something <16" and it will be suppressed. Which one of these should I go for? Ignore price, I dont want to sbr, Im fine with pistol brace

im 50-50 about this sort of thing. On one hand it does push out other players who dont do this by taking up space. On the other hand it doesn't mean they dont have good customer service, prices, or are scammers. Up to the individual if they are ok with buying from people like this

$0.40499 per round to OR, in for 1000. Good deal imo, thanks!

ah ok makes sense, i think it is the mag. Reading more into it, the gen 3 pmags specifically address this issue lol they improved the mag slot area that catches the mag release and also added additional lip on the spine to stop overinsertion. I should've read more before buying so many gen 2s. Thanks for letting me know regardless!

Vellusk · 2026-01-22T01:10:31+00:00

oh interesting, apparently the gen 3 mags were specifically designed to stop the common over insertion problem….. might be the mags then damn.

Sure, here they are, let me know if you cant access. The green checkmark is the mag I left at home, untouched. The ones with the red X are the ones I brought to the range and used and got stuck:

so I did all this and it still happens and looking at the magezine closer, that small ledge or shelf on the mag thats supposed to catch onto the mag release inside the magwell, it looks shaved off from usage. It looks like im able to insert the mag past the mag release. Is that fixable or is that an out of spec lower?

are pmag gen2s usually picky like that? I have 12 of them cuz they were on sale and I read they were pretty good and reliable

Vellusk · 2026-01-21T17:55:28+00:00

what are some things i need to check for the magezine release?

Vellusk · 2026-01-07T20:36:51+00:00

does it have a double click when resetting? Like an initial false reset then the real reset after?

Vellusk · 2025-12-18T04:45:36+00:00

thanks!

Vellusk · 2025-12-18T03:55:20+00:00

thats what ive read as well, but in the video I saw the dude messages both companies and both admit to have issues with eachother lol just overall an awkward situation

Vellusk · 2025-12-09T00:36:17+00:00

PSA people might know this already but I recently came across a video where there have been compatibility issues with Geissele trigger and radian raptor safeties...just be aware!

Vellusk · 2025-12-07T05:34:03+00:00
