XD Mod 4 EDC
I don’t have the funds for an Echelon, honestly not upset. After adding a few pieces of grip tape I rotated out my hellcat pro and the 4” barrel makes the world of a difference for me. Just couldn’t ever maintain precision with the hellcat after 100 rounds. Hoping to get an affordable dot once the optic plates are back in stock. The lack of accessories market is probably the only drawback where I wish I had the echelon. Yes, this is the same as the Mod 3 (maybe different trigger?) but I prefer the look and feel of the deeper serrations. Comfortably wearing this on an HC belt in a Warriorland holster. Totally different class of pistol but for anyone considering affordable options this is running strong after 600 rounds + probably 1K dry fires.

I carried an XD Mod3 elite 3.8 inch in .45 acp all fall and winter with some hot Speer Gold Dot 200gr +P. These are budget only in price. Quality guns that I would absolutely trust my life too. Have tons of 45 downrange and never an issue
