Safariland Offers New Fits for the Springfield Echelon
News Briefs - September/October 2023
Safariland has developed holsters for the new Springfield Echelon. The Echelon is an adaptable and customizable striker-fired duty handgun with several innovative features and is constructed on a durable stainless-steel framework. The all-new Central Operating Group (COG) is self-contained and serialized, allowing it to be easily moved between grip modules in seconds. The firearm also incorporates a revolutionary optics mounting system.
“We’re committed to ensuring our holster offerings align with new releases from leading firearm partners,” said Eric Gasvoda, Safariland’s general manager of duty gear. “Our team partnered with Springfield to develop a compatible line of 6000 series holsters for the release of this handgun. We’re thrilled to provide fits for this groundbreaking pistol and solidify our commitment to providing innovative, lifesaving equipment.”
Holster models available for preorder include Safariland’s 6378RDS, 6360RDS, 6390RDS, and 6390RDSO. Safariland RDS holsters are designed for firearms equipped with red-dot sights and incorporate the Automatic Locking System (ALS). Securely locking the firearm from every angle, these holsters provide secure retention and an intuitive draw. Safariland’s RDSO (Red Dot Sights Open) holster line has an open pocket that protects the optic without the use of a flip-up dust cover. (safariland.com)
