Springfield Armory Echelon Pistol
Best compensated carry pistol for shooters seeking improved recoil control.
This pistol bridges the gap between a dedicated range gun and a carry piece by integrating a compensator directly into the slide. You get significantly flatter shooting and faster follow-up shots without the bulk of an aftermarket add-on, making it a surprisingly refined shooter for its compact footprint.
