Overview
Built for carry-focused use, this compact 9mm keeps the Echelon platform’s core features in a smaller package for easier concealment and everyday handling. It pairs an optics-ready, direct-mount setup through the Variable Interface System with tritium U-Dot sights, giving shooters flexible sighting options for defensive or range use. The included 15-round flush magazine and 18-round extended magazine let you choose between a lower-profile carry setup and added capacity when needed. Finished in OD Green Cerakote, it presents a practical, purpose-driven option for users who want a compact pistol without giving up the Echelon’s modular approach.

Pros
- Compact frame and 4-inch barrel support easier carry and concealability.
- Variable Interface System offers direct-mount compatibility with leading red dot sights.
- Tritium U-Dot sights provide fast sight acquisition in varied lighting.
- Includes both 15-round flush and 18-round extended magazines.
- OD Green Cerakote finish gives the pistol a distinctive carry-ready appearance.
- Optics-ready frame adds flexibility for sight setup preferences.
Considerations & Trade-offs
- The compact frame and 4-inch barrel are set up for carry, but the shorter configuration gives up some of the full-size feel and sight radius associated with larger pistols.
- Capacity changes with the magazine used: 15 rounds with the flush magazine and 18 rounds with the extended magazine, so the carry profile and grip length are not the same in both setups.
- The optics-ready Variable Interface System is designed for direct-mount compatibility with leading red dot sights, but optic fit still depends on the specific sight model and interface selection.
- OD Green Cerakote finish and compact dimensions make this a purpose-built carry pistol, but the color and size may not suit buyers looking for a more traditional range or duty setup.
