For 2026 buyers, however, the smart money is shifting toward the <strong>Echelon family</strong> — especially the brand-new <strong>Echelon 4.0FC</strong> (full-size frame + compact slide, announced as a 2026 carry pistol) and the <strong>Echelon 4.0C Comp</strong>. At EnforceTac 2026 Springfield also confirmed the <strong>XD Mod.4</strong>, a refresh of the original duty-size XD that finally brings optics-cut slides and the META trigger down to the entry-level XD tier.</p>
