How Long to Get an Echelon?

[David Poland]

Does anyone have an idea how long the wait to get an Echelon is? I ordered a Firstline, Echelon in July from a popular, fairly large gun store back in July. I'm still waiting. They say their supplier does not tell them what they will receive ahead of time. Should I expect to see this gun in 2023? 2024?

I can walk into 3 stores locally and get one off the shelf…so zero wait.

Just checked RSR and they have like 200 ready to ship to your dealer. Sounds like your dealer doesn’t want your business.

Zero wait here too, they are in several gun shops.

I walked into my local a small gunshop and they had one in the case.

my large gun store who is a stocking dealer for just about every brand, never knows exactly how many of any particular gun he's going to get either. he can put on the order list, 100, but only get 5.

i usually put down a deposit of $50.00 to as much as half for any gun he's waiting on, and i get the email telling me to "come on down".

another thing too is, your gun store may not be high on the list from the distributors in your state.

The key issue here is the Firstline program. I would see if you can find another Firstline dealer!

much like the Blue Label for Glock and LEO only sales.

unless one is a member of the GSSF (Glock Sport Shooting Foundation), then you get the same LEO discounts.

I went to another local store and got one. Thanks for the feedback.
I did reach out to the first store. They seemed uninterested in what I told them about other stores getting them and that there isn't a backlog.

Glad to hear. I saw a couple over the weekend.

I've forgot when & where I posted my luck getting an Echelon. It's been a little bit over a month. I ordered one thinking it would be many days or weeks. To my surprise I received it the next day.

Bassbob, I bet you were very young when that series was playing. That was a bunch of years ago.

Being a Shaolin Monk might cut into your nap time.

Yep. It came on Saturday afternoons if I recall correctly. I would have been in grade school for sure.
