Springfield Echelon VS Glock 19 - The SHOCKING Truth Revealed!

[@jdontcare8520]

Out of the box, the Echelon is superior. Not a knock on Glock, but the Echelon has what every manufacturer should be putting on their pistols. Direct universal optic mounting system, texture all around, fantastic slide serrations, decent trigger, tritium sights and thumb rests. I understand that Glock is king when it comes to aftermarket support, but the Echelon doesn't really need a lot. Sure, more trigger upgrades would be nice, but it's not necessary.

[@jdontcare8520]

@Chickenloven , you're clearly biased. It's okay if you don't like Springfield, but HS Produkt makes reliable and durable firearms. Also, just because it's made in America doesn't mean it's great. I guess you think Hi Point, Jiminez and SCCY are better than HK, CZ and Walther 😅

[@jdontcare8520]

@@Rubeless , could be, but I doubt it. I'm not going to defend Springfield, but I've owned 4 different pistols from HS Produkt and they have been very reliable, especially the Echelon.

[@JeffG-x2q]

The Echelon is a masterpiece. Best pistol Springfield/HS has ever put out. I like glocks too and have several, but the Echelon is something else entirely.

[@gregbutler6851]

Better comparison would be the G17 gen5 mos but in every way the Echelon is better. As a matter of fact I’ve upgraded my SHTF from the G17 to the Echelon.

[@Perkeletricksterservantofrher]

I have purchased a fair amount of both Glocks and Springfields. While both were always reliable, I just felt that the Springfield build quality is superior to Glock. I have since sold my G19/43/43x. I kept my Springfield XDS mod 2/XD-3/Hellcat. I have zero regrets with my decision.

[@barrydraper]

The Echelon is clearly the better, vastly superior weapon, in every way. Love my G19, 5th gen MOS, but I don't drink the Kool Aid. I've shot the Echelon quite a bit, although I don't own one (yet). I do however, own other Croatian made Springfields. Glock is a very solid choice, but it's not necessarily the best. I'd keep both of these. No need to choose.

[@Mk47Ultra]

It’s really all psychological, for the last 30 years all other polymer guns under 600$ sucked except for the Glock, the USP was superior but it was a grand and nobody wanted to pay a grand for a plastic gun, and since all other polymer pistols sucked Glock gained this reputation but the reality was the XD was just as reliable since the early 2000s but since 100s of other polymer guns had sucked nobody would have believed the xd was equal, now the echelon is the most superior but unfortunately so many people have been conditioned to think Glock is the best and since sig who made the best metal frame gun the 226 came out with a very subpar p320 most people would find it hard to believe a Random Croatian gun would be any better, so in a way all this crap from more brand name manufacturers has caused people to not believe Hs product is capable of such quality, it’s simply not true, the echelon is not only a Glock killer but any 9mm pistol killer so far in 2024 it is the best in every way possible. And nobody will believe it until it’s too late and discontinued years down the road, with the economy the dumb younger generation gun designers taking over I can confidently say the echelon will prolly be humanities best attempt at a polymer gun. Even hs product will have a impossible task outdoing the echelon. If this was made from a brand name manufacturer it would have been priced $1500+ .as expected most people will just complain I talked too much and come up with their own excuses and that’s the human heard mentality so who cares buy whatever you want makes no difference on me

Shot the new Echelon Comp before released, and it worked fine but not going to replace my Glock. Because not worth changing my Glock gear etc. and not worth necessary training to adopt different platform. Summary, nothing wrong with Echelon if one is starting out or coming from previous versions.

[@jamiedees8223]

The only thing I changed on my Echelon was the ambi mag release. When carrying it the mag release kept getting hit when sitting down in my car because the mag release would hit my seat belt latch on my seat and release the magazine without me knowing it. Later I’d find my gun without a mag. That could cost me my life. So I bought the Apex reversible mag release and no more issues. I wish they come out with a compact version of Echelon because I don’t like carrying full size pistols. Compacts are great, but full size is usually a bit long in the grip for my preference for carry.

[@RichMRamos]

I love the Glocks and completely agree that they're extremely reliable. With that said, ever since I purchased the Echelon, it has become my favorite. Love how it feels in my hand and the ergonomics are a vast improvement over the Glock, imho. They recently came out with the Echelon 4.0C, a compact model. If I didn't already have the Hellcat Pro, I'd definitely get the new 4.0C mainly for the ergonomics over the Hellcat Pro. Springfield is really upping their game!

[@PPD1911]

The Glock was the cats meow for a long time, but there’s a number of choices coming out with triggers better than glocks aftermarket. Love the echelons grip ergonomics better,

[@billtaylor1656]

I have both don't mind either

[@BoomStickTactical]

They're both great guns

[@jamiedees8223]

The only magazine issue with the Echelon that Ive heard was the extended baseplate design causing the baseplate to fly off suddenly. Springfield had remedied that issue from what I’ve heard. I’ve never heard of an actual issue with the magazine itself though, but I’ve saw the extended baseplates fail multiple times on different magazines causing them to come off and launch all the bullets and mag spring due to the design.

[@bobyjones3905]

Not the design the magazine was assembled incorrectly in some cases

[@bpowa]

Both my echelon and g45 shoots great. Echelon is a smoother gun out the box. Trigger is a bit mushy and sometimes I don't feel a reset its very faint. I hate the u notch sight and may just black it out. If I had to carry either. I would pick the glock after shooting back to back a couple hundred rounds each. Neigher had a single malfunction so far. .

[@Brett235]

To me it's about what the gun costs and what I'm getting for my money. The echelon comes with more useful features right out of the box than Glock for the same money. If it is as reliable why would I buy the Glock? It's like the canik brand. Canik is as reliable as Glock, has a better trigger, more features and comes with more in the box than Glock for about $100 less in most cases. I'm very frugal and practical so the echelon makes better financial sense.

[@NinerspiritGoBlue]

I thought all gen 5 had the serrations on each end of the gun. Yours does not have them. It looks like I was wrong.

[@BoomStickTactical]

The early models of gen 5 didn't have them

[@oleboy7615]

The shocking truth? 😂 So the Glock 19 is the best combat pistol ever made. The Echelon is a nice pistol, and it will do well for anyone who wants it, but it does not trump the Glock 19. The more relevant comparison is the Glock 17.

[@Brett235]

Glock is not the best combat pistol ever made.. SMH Glock is the cheapest pistol that won the contract. They work, that's about it. There's a reason why everyone that buy Glock always changes at least the sights, most likely they'll change the trigger, slide, add grip tape and get slide cuts. Canik makes better guns than Glock, and yes caniks are used in military units and law enforcement just not here in the United States.

@ The Glock wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for John Browning’s FN 1910. Firearm technology has been evolving ever since the advent of gun powder. Glock essentially stopped evolving in the 1980’s. I’m not knocking Glock, it just is what it is.

[@Uzumakibarage]

Glock vs other guns is like the AK vs AR debate. The Ak is old reliable but doesn't mean it's the better option

If the gas pedal was a benefit, everyone would have them. Recoil management is in the grip, not the thumb. Yes, plenty of competitors use them, but again, if it were the ultimate advantage, everyone would use one. The Springfield company went downhill in the early 2000s. They had major issues with the EMP, prodigy and saints.
