This video provides a review of the full-size Springfield Armory Echelon pistol. It highlights the gun's flush-fitting 17-round magazine, optic-ready slide with Springfield's AOS system, and fully ambidextrous controls, including magazine and slide releases. The reviewer notes the trigger pull is good but the reset is less pronounced, ultimately deeming it a solid alternative to a Glock 17.

The Bear Creek Arsenal Genesis II is a metal-framed pistol designed as a competitor to polymer-framed handguns like the Glock 17. Initially experiencing significant reliability issues, including feed problems and magazine ejection, the firearm underwent multiple returns to the manufacturer for repair. After these updates, including a redesigned magazine release, the Genesis II is reported to be 100% functional. While the metal frame offers a premium feel and aids in recoil absorption, its squared-off ergonomics and sharp edges can make it uncomfortable during firing. The trigger is described as spectacular for a Glock-style platform, offering a smooth take-up and break, though it remains a heavier pull.
