This review of the Hyte Defense HGM825 Raider chassis for the Springfield Echelon highlights its potential to transform the handgun into a PDW-style platform. The chassis offers useful features like an optics riser, M-LOK slots, and an integrated charging handle.

A key vulnerability is the auto-shutoff feature on modern NVGs, which isn't instantaneous and can be accidentally re-engaged, potentially revealing a position.
