Awesome budget pistol. And now they just released the mod 4.

yup, definitely a pistol I would recommend to someone getting into firearms who might be on a limited budget.
I have a Mod 2 from back in the day and it's always been a good shooter and I've had zero reliability issues. Pistol easily has 10,000 rounds through it

I love my Mod.3, it's my optic carry. Get'em while you can, they are very affordable for such a fine handgun. They have been discontinued in favor of the Mod.4 model. The only new feature I can see is the new slide serrations on the Mod.4.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Is the only difference between the 3 and 4 the optic cut on the 4?

The 3 also has the optics cut. The only difference we can tell appears to be the slide serrations.

yeah, think the Mod 4 took some styling queues from the Echelon's slide serrations .
I would guess the rest of the pistol is basically the same as the Mod 3

Hi,

I'm just wondering if any of the internals are different (trigger?). I'm waiting for someone smarter and better looking than me to put up a comparison on Youtube or something.

Love me my Mod 3. If there isn't much different with the Mod 4, I can't see the need to change it up. Just sayin'..

Are they going to have a mod 4 in .45ACP ??? If so I might have another pistol on my list to buy.

Great question. The 3 wasn’t out long before the 4 came along, so I have to wonder if the prices on the 3 will drop any?

I got my Mod.3 for less than $300. The Mod.4 can be had for less than $350. I've seen prices online around $320.
