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

Springfield Armory Echelon IWB Holster for Streamlight TLR-1 / TLR-1 HL

This precision-built Inside the Waistband (IWB) holster is engineered for the Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5F and 4.5F Comp pistols equipped with the Streamlight TLR-1, TLR-1 HL or TLR-1 HP weapon-mounted light. It also fits the Echelon 4.0C and 4.0C Comp models, with a slightly extended muzzle for secure retention and comfort.

Important: Retention is based on the mounted light, not the firearm. This holster will not function without the Streamlight TLR-1, TLR-1 HL or TLR-1 HP attached. The design is compatible with the Manual Safety version of the Echelon.

Precision Design & Fit

Each holster is vacuum-formed using a precision-machined mold created from CAD models of the actual firearm. Every holster is hand-trimmed, folded, and tested in-house for retention and draw consistency using real pistols and lights to ensure perfect fitment.

Due to slight differences between TLR-1 light body versions, the holster includes a fully adjustable retention system to maintain a consistent fit across both older and newer TLR-1, TLR-1 HL or TLR-1 HP models.

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