Overview
Built for carry-focused use, this compact 9mm package pairs a shorter 4-inch barrel with a reduced frame to support easier concealment without giving up the core Echelon layout. It includes the serialized Central Operating Group, a Tactical Rack U-Dot rear sight, a front night sight, and a Viridian RFX11 Green Dot Optic for a ready-to-use setup. The package also comes with four magazines, including one 15-round and three 18-round magazines, giving the user flexibility for carry and range use. With its polymer frame and FDE grips, it is aimed at shooters who want a practical sidearm for everyday carry and training.

Pros
- Compact 4-inch barrel and frame support easier concealed carry.
- Serialized Central Operating Group is housed in a compact frame.

- Tactical Rack U-Dot rear sight and front night sight included.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The compact 4-inch barrel and shorter frame improve concealability, but they also give up some of the size and handling feel of the full-size Echelon.
- The package includes both 15-round and 18-round magazines, so capacity depends on which magazine is carried or inserted.
- The pistol is listed with a 24 oz. weight and polymer frame, which keeps it carry-oriented but may feel different from a heavier all-metal handgun.
- The included Viridian RFX11 Green Dot optic adds capability, but it also means the package is set up around an optic-equipped configuration rather than a simple iron-sight-only setup.
