The Springfield Armory Echelon is a polymer frame striker-fired semi-automatic pistol sold in the United States by Springfield Armory, Inc., and manufactured in Croatia by HS Produkt. Introduced in July 2023, it is chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum and intended for concealed carry, with 10-, 17- and 20-round magazines.
In an effort to appeal to new military and police tenders as well as introduce a forward-looking new design, the company has brought out a pistol based on a serialized chassis like that of the SIG Sauer P365 and P320. The Echelon is a full-size gun that has a modular, self-contained fire-control chassis that is removable for cleaning and maintenance. Echelon was named Guns & Ammo handgun of the year and won the NASGW-POMA 2023 award for best new handgun.
