That’s a good looking pistol.

I'm not in the market for a striker fired pistol but I did notice that the grip texture extended higher up than most pistols. That is a good move for better support hand purchase.

I'm still reading the thread, but I binged several videos already. Initial impressions:
1.flexible mounting for different optics. We are not settling on a standard any time soon, nor should we. 5 minutes ago we thought we had all the footprints we would ever need, now everyone wants an EPS. I wonder if this thing takes an EPS?
2. Excellent sights that appear to allow for a usable cowitness.
3.Different sized frames that also adjust trigger reach. 80% won't care, but the rest of us do.
3b. AND backstraps on top of that to adjust hump. Never seen that, but I won't turn down customizable hump either.
4. I see no reason why it would inherit any XD problems, it's a whole new animal. They even threw out the XD magazines! Wonder if these are mecgar?
5. It seems like HS is doing everything they can to try to launch themselves into Glock/Sig territory. If this works out, I don't see any reason why they couldn't.
6. For a gun that doesn't innovate on any particular thing (maybe the optics but similar things exist) this does enough things well to still be interesting.

Just got an email from Apex about their stainless steel guide rod for the Echelon.
You gotta hand it to Springfield, this is how you coordinate a launch. I’m not even interested in this pistol, but I can respect the business approach.

My question - is the design amenable to a SCD?
