Springfield echelon review

Saw a review from “The Honest Outlaw” on this gun. He dropped it many times, he drug it behind his truck, sunk it in water and mud. The gun worked and shot well. He finally got it to jam when he put it in sand with the action open. Is there anyone here that it has any experience with this gun? I know they have had one issue with the Mags but I think they have fixed it.
I think they have recently come out with the concealed carry option.

Extra mags I purchase at gunwarehouse.com add the updated floor plate and base. Springfield Armory provided updated floor plate and base at n/c when i called customer service. Otherwise a great gun.

Mine is very nice. Just wish I would have waited a little bit longer because now they are on sale and you get 3 mags, a range bag, and if memory serves me correctly a holster or an optic I can’t remember which.

Absolutely love mine! Have around 500 flawless rounds through it. I believe the mag problem was with the extended 20 round magazines. I have 17 and 15 round mags never a moments trouble with either. They have a new comped version, don’t think I would spend the extra $, the base version shoots super smooth. The mag optic bundle sounds like a great deal go with that.

I like “honest outlaw” he brings humor to his videos and also gives an honest opinion on the guns he shoots with the particular gun hes testing.

I like my echelon. I am upset they won’t sell it in parts because the two main reasons I got it were the optic mounting system and the potential to mix and match uppers and lowers on this fire control unit deal. They finally released a 4” upper that fits on my fully lower but as of now I’d have to buy the entire new gun. That’s crap! If I were a gun store id buy a bunch and sell them in pieces.
