Hello everyone!! So just wanted to share my experience to hopefully help anyone out on their first pew purchase, but also want to ask for everyones help.

I decided to get my echelon around March. After a couple trips to the range, the echelon felt the best and I went ahead and started shopping around. I purchased the 4.5 from Scheels for about $700 which included 4 mags, mag loader, range bag, viridian green dot. I looked for about a month and decided to purchase this as it was in my price range. So i suggest if youre looking for one, definitely shop around and dont jump the gun.

Range ammo: I use Federal 124 gr brass. On Scheels i found boxes of 200 around $47 free shipping a while back. Ive also used Monarch 115 steel. Also 115 blazer. All have worked very well, no issues thus far 🤞.

Sharps Bros grip module: i applied for the free warranty with Springfield and got a 15% coupon and decided to get the grip module. Honestly it has been a good purchase as it does feel softer while firing. I also started having issues with the OG grip as my sweaty hands started to slip off. I came back from the range today, 200 b fired and no slips honestly.

Targets: i bought some off of amazon but the best thing i found was to just cut up some boxes and make them into targets lolll. No need to spend money on a any targets.

Carry ammo: Federal HST law enforcement 124 gr. Feels good, and it will do the job im sure. No issues with feeding into the echelon at all.

Holster: Tenicore and WTP + car mount

NOW HERE IS WHAT I NEED HELP WITH.

Idk how i can zero in my sight. I bought a bore-sight laser, tried going through a bunch of ammo. And sometimes i feel like im not accurate or have good groups due to my grip, or shot anticipation. Idk what it is. If anyone can give me tips, i would really appreciate it. Thank you and stay blessed and safe :)

This is the new set up for everyday carry, did some changes to it and it has been comfortably to carry.
What do you guys think?

Just recently got this attachment and was wondering where I can get a holster that doesn’t require me to remove attachment to carry.

Looking for a couple bitone mod.2s yet, anyone have one to move along?

Specifically-

.40 5" barrel (tactical)

.45 5" barrel (tactical)

.40 3.3" XDS (mod2 version)

.45 3.3" XDS (mod2 version)

Springfield Arms only had my pistol for a week before it was fixed and shipped back to me.

I’ve been offered a 2019-2020 16” Saint in a private sell with a Vortex Strike Eagle scope and 4 mags.
It’s stock otherwise.
Supposedly it’s only been to the range twice.
Asking price $400

The left side of my new echelon release "fell off" this was tyrants response. Yeah, there's an issue With YOUR product 🤣 why does a distributor have to fix it? Shameful.

Not serious of course. I wanted to see how ridiculous it would look.

Shot my first Steel Challenge match this weekend with my Mark IV and had a blast.

Looking to upgrade my Echelon trigger now like it did that so I can shoot both guns in Steel challenge and USPSA.

Any thoughts on this kit or better alternatives?

What should I add to it? I took off the optic on purpose as I wanted more training with the iron sights it has a tlr1 hl and taran tactical +5 baseplate

I’m in a state where magazine capacity is not an issue and I was gifted some compliant 10 round magazines. (XD-45).

The long dimple/dent limits the capacity by restricting the double stack stagger.

Anyone have any success knocking the dimple/dent out of these to increase the capacity to 13?

Any ideas on how best to accomplish the task? Cut it out? Press it flat?

(This hasn’t been brought up here for years and the previous posts were not helpful because the discussion was about legality. I’m legal. Advice is legal. Everything is legal. So I hope this can be productive. )

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I'm thinking about putting my Custom Echelon up for consignment and was wondering what price people think I should consign it at. It's only seen about 350 rounds through it so far. I have 2 grips (full size and compact) and 2 barrels. 4.0 and 4.7 threaded. The idea was to keep the threaded barrel and use with the full size grip and the Herrington Arms Comp. I never bought the Herrington comp. The compact grip has $250 worth of custom Cerakote and stippling from LV Laser. The gun also has a Tyrant I.T.T.S trigger and Floyds Magwell and mag caps. I have 3 mags with Floyd caps and a handful of factory mags that came with the gun. As you can see the optic is Holosun SCS320 and the light is Streamlight TLR7x. Thoughts on how much to tell my FFL to list for?

So I have tried pretty much every medium thread locker on the market to get this AOS plate to work on this damn gun. Last time I installed it was 873rds and I just noticed today that it was loose at 1507rds. Optic to plate is holding strong, plate to gun is what’s giving me issues. If anyone knows what I can do outside of getting a staccato or RCD Core or whatever, I’m all ears. Plate suggestions, screw suggestions, process suggestions, whatever. I have one ace in my pocket and that is to bed the plate to the gun, use red loctite, and then stake the plate over the screws. I am pretty much married to RMR pattern anyway so that won’t be an issue. Pic for your time.

I picked this up in a trade.. I absolutely love this set it. It will certainly make its way into the rotation.
