When God closes a 6 String door……

Been on the hunt for a decent Strat or Tele and striking out so got this in the meantime. Out with the M&P and in with the Echelon, comped, gear up pack.
Cleaned and ready to go for the cherry popping and dot sighting tomorrow. Truly Ambi and my lefty Wife likes the grip better than the 2.0 Compact .

After shooting yesterday, it did pretty well. Definitely has the stiffest wall I’ve experienced, so far, on a trigger. Very quick reset though. Will have to see if it eases up a bit with more use.

Nice.

Nice. Got rid of my M&P a while back as well.

I still have a Shield Plus as my EDC. The 2.0 compact I had got used as a stay at home gun for the Wife while I was out. It was fine but nothing special. Sometimes going down the counters in a big gun store is a serious case of “Ooh, a piece of candy”.

They're designed to be duty guns. If you want it lighter you'll have to go with an aftermarket trigger. If there's one out yet. I haven't been real interested in any of the Croatian guns or anything by Springfield since they discontinued the 4" XD Mod 2, but I am thinking about the Echelon.

The optic mounting system is interesting. I see you chose the Viridian. I have an HS-1 on an AR pistol and it's been fine. I have green Holosuns on all my handguns.

Yeah, I figured if I was going to try a dot I preferred green. I’ll keep getting use to the trigger. After the first shot you adjust but we may only get that first shot out in the world, so wanna get it sound.

I don't worry a whole lot about it on carry guns. As long as there's not a lot of slop and a short tactile reset.

I know quite a few people with Echelons and they all love them. The STL County cops just switched over to them a few months ago. I haven't shot with those guys since then, but I'm curious to know what they think.
