In 371 BC, an outmanned army faced certain defeat at the hands of the Spartans. Refusing to surrender they employed a new formation in a final effort to save their city. By staggering their troops diagonally, each unit behind and to the right, they toppled the mighty Spartan army and invented the echelon, a military formation that is still used today. In the same spirit of innovation, Springfield Armory introduces the Echelon, a superior approach to modern pistol design.

At the heart of the SA Echelon is the Central Operating Group, the COG is entirely self-contained and serialized allowing it to be easily moved between grip modules in seconds. The Echelon has a unique patent pending red dot sight mounting system, the Variable Interface System (VIS). Many popular sights mount directly to the slide without any type of adaptor plate system. The slide accepts two popular mounting standards which will allow the use a myriad of different sights. The two mounting standards are: Trijicon RMR, DeltaPoint Pro, Springfield Micro / Shield RMS/SMS. Adapter plates to mount additional optics are sold separately.
