Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5F & TLR-1 HL Competition Holster

Springfield Armory Echelon Duty & Competition Holster with Streamlight TLR-1

This Duty & Competition holster is designed for the  Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5F and Echelon 4.5F Comp pistols equipped with the Streamlight TLR-1, TLR-1 HL or TLR-1 HP.  Retention is secured on the mounted light, ensuring consistency under stress in light-duty use, training, and competitive shooting. This holster will not function without one of the supported lights installed.

This holster will also work with the Echelon 4.0C and 4.0C Comp with extra room left at the muzzle.

Competition Use

This holster is suitable for USPSA, 3-Gun, Steel Challenge, and other shooting sports (note: it may not be IDPA legal). Designed for both performance and durability, it delivers secure retention with the speed required for competition draw strokes.

Compatibility Notes

• Designed for use with the TLR-1, TLR-1 HL or TLR-1 HP for proper fitment.
• Compatible with both standard and manual safety versions of the Springfield Echelon.
• Optics-ready cut to clear most red dot sights, including overhanging models.

Streamlight TLR-1 & TLR-1 HL or TLR-1 HP information

Some variations in the TLR-1 light body will affect the fit and retention of this holster. We have designed the retention adjustment of the holster around these tolerances so that old and new TLR-1 or TLR-1 HL or HP lights will fit. 

This holster will not work with the TLR-1 HL-X or TLR-1 HP-X light.

Precision Fit and Construction

Each holster is vacuum-formed using a CAD-modeled mold for exact firearm-and-light geometry. Every holster is hand-trimmed, folded, and individually tested with the Springfield Echelon and Streamlight TLR-1, TLR-1 HL or TLR-1 HP light to ensure proper fit and function. Retention is fully adjustable for secure duty use or faster competitive draw strokes.
