Looking for the ultimate in performance and recoil control in a polymer pistol? The brand-new Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5F Comp might just be the pistol you’ve been waiting for. In this video, we take a deep dive into Springfield’s latest innovation in the Echelon series, a firearm designed with a compensator (comp) built right into the slide and barrel. This feature not only reduces recoil but allows for rapid follow-up shots, whether you’re shooting one-handed or running drills at full speed.

From its flawless operation with various ammo types to the intuitive dot mounting system, the Echelon 4.5F Comp continues to raise the bar for polymer handguns. With no malfunctions through multiple tests, including using popular brands like Winchester and Nosler, this pistol is quickly proving to be a standout. Watch the video for an in-depth look at its performance and see how it handled everything we threw at it, including custom handloads.

I used a Trijicon red dot but the sights co-witness and work great. Having the backup tritium is nice.
