What’s your favorite Springfield that you own.

As much as I loved customizing my Echelon, it hurts my hand after a couple magazines. My favorite Springfields are my XDM Elite, XD9 Mod 2 and the Mod 3. For whatever reason, the shape of the grip of both the Hellcat and the Echelon are more squared (for lack of a better way to put it) and after firing a couple of mags down range, both guns hurt the bone in my palm. Needless to say they don’t get as much range time as they used to, as I’m not that “into” pain.
The XDs fit me better and they handle very well. 😎

Belle, about 1.5 years ago I developed some arthritis in my shooting hand and had the same palm pain with the squared off grip. Before the pain started it was my most carried pistol in my rotation. I added a Hogue grip cover and made it much more tolerable. It's back in my EDC rotation.

My XD Mod.3 grip feels great, shoots great & is probably my most accurate of all my pistols. It's just a little too big for CCW for my likes & comfort during nice weather as I seem to print too easily.

Never held or fired an Echelon but if I did I'd probably put a Hogue grip cover on it also if I liked it enough.
 
Well I had to trade off my M1A a couple years ago due to arthritis, finally sold my SA-35 (The Nipper) but still have 2 mil-specs. One is the older stainless and the other is the parkerized Defender. An XDm Elite 4.5 OSP 10mm, a Echelon 4.5 and an XDs 45 3.3 Mod 2. After I changed the recoil to GI style, added an arched MSH and replaced all the springs with WC parts I guess it's still a Springer? So I guess it's this old girl? Puts them where I want them every time I give her a gentle squeeze.

You may try goon tape on the grip, for your echelon.

Thank you @Bear007
 
Will always be my first M1A.

In 2000, Springfield had a sale where you could get a loaded Standard for the price of the basic rifle.

Seeing as I was then stationed at MCAS Miramar, it was a Kali Compliant model, thankfully it was only the muzzle device that made it that way.

It has been through a few configurations, but I finally settled on mounting it in a SAGE EBR chassis.

It's one of the few rifles I will NEVER part with.

Went with a LaRue cantilever scope base, as opposed to the SAGE mount.

And I've owned quite a few other Springfield guns, wish I'd never let the TRP I had go......
