Operating principle of the Springfield Echelon pistol
The Springfield Echelon is a modern design adapted to 9x19 mm centerfire ammunition. The high energy of the cartridge forced the use of bolt action here. The principle of operation of the gun is based on short barrel recoil with its locking by vertical recoil (modified Browning system). A shell ejection window serves as the locking resistance. A strong return spring further reduces the sensation of recoil acting on the shooter.
The revolutionary frame of the Springfield Echelon pistol
The pistol is equipped with a modular Central Operating Group (COG). It is an insert, which is a separate element of the skeleton, which is fully self-sufficient and numbered thanks to which the user gains the possibility of transferring it, for example, to a skeleton of a different color. This form is fullycompliant with the Polish Law on Arms and Ammunition. Thanks to it, the skeleton can be changed at will, as it is not an essential part of the weapon. The weapon comes standard with a medium-sized module and three pieces of interchangeable backstraps. Module frames - small and large - are available for purchase separately.
Precision trigger in the Echelon pistol
The gun uses a single-action trigger with exclusive partial self-tensioning was made of high-quality, polished steel and features a clearly perceptible break and a short, positive reset.
