Earlier this month, Springfield announced a major new handgun. The Springfield Echelon is a full-sized, polymer-framed, ambidextrous duty pistol chambered in 9mm that borrows from the aesthetics of the more compact Hellcat family. The gun offers a host of patent-pending features. It is modular, highly adaptable, and available in four models with capacities ranging from 10-20 rounds. And, of course, all models are optics-ready.
Of course, it needs a holster, and Safariland now offers holsters that are fitted for the new Echelon.
“We’re committed to ensuring our holster offerings align with new releases from leading firearm partners,” said Safariland’s GM of Duty Gear, Eric Gasvoda. “Our team partnered with Springfield to develop a compatible line of 6000 series holsters for the release of their Echelon handgun. We’re thrilled to provide fits for this groundbreaking pistol and solidify our commitment to providing innovative, lifesaving equipment.”
Holsters Available for Preorder
According to Safariland, four holster models that fit the Springfield Echelon are now available for preorder.
- 6378RDS ALS Concealment Paddle Holster
- 6360RDS ALS/SLS Mid-Ride Level II Retention Duty Holster
- 6390RDS ALS Mid-Ride Level I Retention Duty Holster
- 6390RDSO ALS Mid-Ride Level I Retention Dury Holster
Safariland RDS holsters are designed for firearms equipped with red dot sights and incorporate the Automatic Locking System (ALS). Securely locking the firearm from every angle, these holsters provide secure retention and an intuitive draw. Safariland’s RDSO (Red Dot Sights Open) holster line has an open pocket that protects the optic without the use of a flip-up dust cover.
Prices vary depending on model and selected features.
