That Echelon is one of the most handsome guns I ever seen.

[@Eric_A.]

I think Springfield does a great job with the aesthetics. I love my XD9 and the details and the way it looked was a big part of my deciding to go with that over a similar handgun. I love the look of my Hellcat too.

[@bbmw9029]

I'm expecting the Hellcat and Echelon lines to migrate together at some point. The Hellcat will get more Echelon-ish features. The Echelon line will add smaller models.

[@carbonking53]

That's what I'm thinking as well. I love my Hellcat Pro overall. That being said, ambi controls with a factory comp option would be icing on the cake. I don't think there is enough real estate on smaller guns though for a multi optic compatible slide cut.

Great video. I've been a long time GLOCK fan, have been carrying a GLOCK for over 30 years. Have dozens of them. However, I am now daily carry the Hellcat Pro which I consider to be better than the GLOCK. I look forward to Springfield offering a compact size Echelon like the G19 which will be a huge seller.

[@Draxzy]

Have you tried the macro?

[@Eric_A.]

How do you tell all of those Glocks apart? They're all the same design.

[@rAmAuT1]

Thank you I have been waiting for a good comparison of these two

[@toddparsons2980]

HS Produkt makes good firearms. 👍

[@Doublewogurt]

“It’s available in any color as long as it’s black” pure gold

[@codymoore694]

Henry Ford said that about his vehicles long before this man was born

[@JP-gw3bk]

The Echelon is Springfield's new flagship duty gun. Nowhere on there website says this is for competition use. This is a duty gun/home defensegun, no competition sights, no lighting cuts, it's not even a competition trigger, nothing about this says race gun. Can you use it for competition... yeah, but Springfield's has better offerings for that.

[@watchyoutube9553]

Yea I was lost at that bs 💀

[@gusmartinez6575]

you buy it, you use it as you please, even if you wanna buy it and put it in a box at home amd never touch it. you stressing yourself too much my man. now im buying it just to compete with it

[@harryrichards693]

Two different guns one is a duty gun the other is a concealed carry gun 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@SkiKat-USA]

This is such a well done video! I have been attracted to the Springfield Echelon for a while and have been wondering about its size because I haven't seen one in person. This Video does a great job of comparing the Echelon to the smaller Hellcat and number of significant ways!

[@bobyjones3905]

I paid 600 a piece for both

[@T-for-Tigers]

I already got a Hellcat micro for deep conceal, and I will get an Echelon for home defense & target shooting fun. There is no need to have a Hellcat Pro. Just go micro 9 and duty size 9 for me. Great video, I learned a lot about the echelon here.

[@lacboiatl]

I still love my xdm

[@GarzaHimself]

The echelon is definitely one of my favorite guns to shoot

[@revv45acp71]

Extremely helpful review!

[@edwardstanhope3030]

Great video.....I have the hellcat pro, plan on getting a echelon

[@Antonio-kx5rd]

Ive been waiting for this video. Thank you.

[@rodscrivner7132]

The review I have been waiting for..

[@HammerStriker]

I hope it was helpful.

[@MOOCH180]

I’ll take the Pro 🎯

[@SapperMan724]

Get them both

[@colby78hurley]

Which one would you recommend for home defense and the “occasional” carry when off-roading, camping, etc?

[@puma51921]

I'm waiting for the compact one

[@UrbanEnthusiast]

Get a normal hellcat

[@stealthswim223]

If they made a compact one 😊😊😊😊

[@CPL74]

it's hellcat/h11

[@ernestholloway9436]

Well I have them both. I also have a 10mm by springfield. I also have a AR 15

[@johnlacasse8893]

Excellent video... I agree, these firearms compliment each other very well.

[@trendy8706]

Still need dat reflex vs hellcat video, reflex video on reliability

[@RichB804]

Thank you for that comparison. I really am really liking the Echelon. Probably going to pick one up.

[@NHRebelsthoughts]

Good video !

[@jollygreen4662]

Back strap can be changed on the pistol grip?

[@travislilly3537]

On the echelon, yes

[@T.A.B.Videos]

I really like the echelon

[@romans6two338]

Great video HS

[@jknewb6276]

We own the XDm ELITE OSP, 5.25" TB, in Springfields "dessert FDE" chambered in 9mm wrapped up on the grip with skateboard tape and on the slide serrations made it amazing. I personally didn't like the way the ELITE felt in my hand I purchased sight unseen ordered straight from FFL I just wanted it... 😂 but now the Echelon is out and that grip looks amazing and there's a little gas pedal plus a TB version and I hear colors coming soon! Love it!!

[@jcnole77]

It shoots great. Have the same one

[@vudoodaddie]

Damn good shooting with the Echelon.

[@justusbryant7366]

Competition 😂😂😂

[@app1mxh]

Hellcat Pro or CZ P01 ?

[@romans6two338]

Depends if you want DA/SA or SF, they are vastly different platforms and polymer vs aluminum.

[@WN_Byers]

Both

[@goran5088]

Hellcat pro vs P10C

[@jonnyyuma5327]

Nice job 👍🏼 to bad your reviewing SA products when there are so many more companies that make excellent quality products and haven’t been accused of anti 2nd amendment activities in Illinois

[@steven3379]

ACCUSED... so was it PROVEN?

[@Asidebar]

I have both of those guns love them. Too bad for you!

[@jonnyyuma5327]

@@Asidebar I don’t look at it that way. At least I have my integrity

[@Asidebar]

@@steven3379 research “Gun dealer licensing act of Illinois”

[@chad_8313]

1) Springfield Armory worked with the Illinois Democratic Party by funding gun control legislation, in exchange for a carve-out for themselves. 2) Springfield Armory doesn't actually make anything, these pistols are imported from Croatia. 3) The company purchased the naming rights to Springfield Armory, they have nothing to do with the iconic arms manufacturer in Massachusetts. 4) It would have been easier for you to just donate directly to the Democratic party, instead of passing through Springfield Armory. But they thank you for supporting either way.

[@romans6two338]

Deep breaths, deep breaths Chad, it's okay the sun will rise tomorrow. Stalk SA videos much? The only lucid comments you made: SA does import them that isn't a secret. SA did buy the name after the original factory folded. Henry Repeating arms out of NJ bought the Henry name too, oh my! SA and HS Produkt make excellent firearms. I can't stand you SA stalkers, if you don't like SA then DON"T WATCH A SA VIDEO. Pretty simple.

[@rodscrivner7132]

Chad we all know...If we boycotted every manufacturer for 2A wrong doing, there wouldn't be any cool guns to buy. They still employ American workers.Relax...

[@CPL74]

or take in HS Produck for the H11Pro

[@codymoore694]

Henry Ford said it first

[@TARandFEATHERS]

Decent compare and contrast. Helpful info for anyone contemplating a purchase of either of these firearms. RockOn.StayFree.
