By The Numbers

Accuracy
Five rounds in the same hole from seven yards is better than “tactical accuracy”.
Reliability
We pushed a little further for this review given the intended market and shot just over 1,000 rounds without failure or cleaning.
Customization
I’m rating this score not based on an aftermarket but on the different grip modules, optics mounting system, and backstrap pieces.
Ergonomics
The controls are all easy to reach on both sides and the grip on the model we tested fit a variety of hands.

FINAL VERDICT

"Springfield Armory has their work cut out for them. The law enforcement market is often resistant to change. That said, the Echelon is an outstanding entry that is absolutely capable of serving in the challenging role of modern policing. It’s reliable, extremely accurate, has good capacity, and it’s adaptable to a wide array of different shooters. For all these reasons, it’s a great option for the rest of us too." - Sean Curtis
