This review covers the new Springfield Echelon 4.0C compact pistol, highlighting its features like the VIS optic mounting system and modular grip. The presenter notes its performance is generally good with zero failures, but a significant issue arises with full-size Echelon magazines when slammed into the compact model with the slide open, causing jams. Holster options and pricing are also discussed, positioning it as a compact alternative to the full-size Echelon.
The Glock 44, chambered in .22 Long Rifle, is a new handgun released by Glock on December 10th. It shares the same size and dimensions as the Glock 19, featuring a 4-inch barrel, front serrations, and an adjustable rear sight. The slide is a hybrid of steel and polymer with steel rails, designed to be lighter to aid in chambering .22 LR rounds. While Glock positions it as a training tool, the speaker notes significant differences in felt recoil compared to a 9mm, and expresses reservations about its value proposition, particularly regarding the 10-round magazine capacity and $430 MSRP when compared to competitors like the Taurus TX22.
