Yep I want one.

It looks great but not for me. I don't want a full size grip frame.

In my experience, the slide is never the difficult part to conceal. It is the grip. Agree 100%. I will opt for a compact grip 100% of the time unless it’s not an option on a gun I really want.

Count me in that same camp. My preferred size for cc is the G19, for open carry, pass me a G22.

You can change the grip in minutes, long slides short slides, short frames or long frames you can combine to fit your needs

The 19X/G45 is my favorite Glock so this FC may be my favorite Echelon as well.

I’m pretty interested in the Glock 45. I’ve been reading up on it.

So, it’s a G17 frame with a G19 slide, which in my mind, makes it like a Commander.

I’m good at “the moment”. I just adopted a CZ P-09C nocturne. 3 to many XDm’s got in the way of that one.

I already did this mod for a full-size grip, but I'm glad to see Springfield offering it as another option.
