Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0C & 4.0FC and TLR-7 HL-X Duty & Competition Holster

Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0C Duty & Competition Holster with Streamlight TLR-7 HL-X

The Duty & Competition Holster is precision-engineered for the Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0C and Echelon 4.0C Comp pistol when paired with the Streamlight TLR-7 HL-X weapon lights. Retention is based on the mounted light, ensuring consistent security under stress for training, competitive shooting, and light duty use. This holster will not function without one of the supported lights attached.

Each holster is vacuum-formed using a precision-machined mold designed from a CAD model of the actual firearm.
