Works well for 4.0 w/Comp
First things first, I love it, minor caveats to that and a few things you should know that will help with your decision. My echelon started off as a 4.0 non comp variety, added a comp and decided the grip was too small so I bought a factory full size (large size) frame and with a comp everything nested into the frame quite nicely with about .5 inch overhang. Decided I wanted a little more heft and different grip angle so I "pulled the trigger"on this. The frame size is much closer to a 4.0 medium than a full size, currently my 4.0 slide aligns with the end of the dust cover but that means my comp hangs over but personally I think it looks great. As other reviewers have noted a little bit of lube and patience goes a long way when rocking your COG into this grip module. I think in total it took me 45 minutes and maybe 2 beers, 10-12 curse words; overall not bad. One thing to note, the first few times you try to use your takedown lever (or whatever Springfield wants to call it) it'll be an absolute bear to get down. I wrapped a towel around my grip module and gently applied pressure with a vice (I don't suggest this method by the way) and then threw 2 pipe cleaners between the gap of the grip module and the lever, and used pliers to apply leverage. After doing this with lots of grease/lube applied and "breaking" it free a few times, it now operates as Springfield intended it to. Otherwise everything else operates as originally intended. I can't speak on aftermarket triggers but functionality of everything else appears normal, have about 500 rounds with the Sharps Bros grip module attached. Overall if you can swallow the price tag and 45 minutes if you're time, 2 beers, 10-12 curse words I would strongly recommend it. It looks amazing, feels amazing and operates like it did before install (I'm still a crappy shot) cheers.
Work of art
Only complaint I have at all is there is no where to put pics on the reviews this is my third review and they are on three different guns please let us share pics it will only benefit sharps bros
Perfection in Every Way
Absolute perfection in every way. Fit and finish is like a Ferrari, and an all metal Echelon...Oh hell ya. Very tight tolerances on the COG and mag release - I suggest using a bit of oil or a dab of grease when installing. But tight is what you want with this. Once put together, its a completely different pistol and in a very good way! The grip is night and day different, so comfortable and molded to you. Not like the stock module that feels like a 2x4 with texture on it. Sharps Bros took my Echelon Comp 4.5 from mid tier to top tier. OH and yes, all of my holsters are working and compatible.
You get what you pay for
This grip may come at a cost, but I tell you, it is worth it! Hot, cold, rain, sun... this thing locks to your hands every time, and I love consistency. Install was tough, but with patience, lube, and YouTube it can be done. I highly recommend this grip module if you want an upgrade in not only looks, but performance as well. I definitely appreciate the angle of attack and extended gas pedals on each side. 10/10 highly recommend. All I need now is a holster that fits; my previous one is molded to the base grips and now is too snug. Thank you Sharps Bros!
Game changer
Changes the gun from another polymer Striker boring gun to a gun that I would expect to pay $1000-$1200. Took to range and was stacking shots at 15 yards fast fire. Hate to admit it but it shot better than my expensive guns they are well over the $1200 mark. Well made and fits the hand amazingly. Now, new grips to change the look at some point.
Well made Grip module
Very well made, extremely tight tolerance for the COG so if you're not confident (like myself) have a gunsmith install it. I accidentally damaged the back part of where the slide sits and they replaced it for free (I just had to ship it in) once I explained what happened (no I will not elaborate). Works with my Safariland 6390 ALS lvl 1 holster and I'm able to practice my draw at the range. Will definitely consider their other products now.
Makes we want another Echelon
Just installed the Sharps Bros grip module on my Echelon 4.0 and I couldn’t be more impressed. The fit and finish are outstanding, and the feel in hand is a serious upgrade over the stock grip. It gives the firearm a whole new level of personality—sleek, aggressive, and premium.
Not only does it feel great, but it looks incredible. It really dresses up the Echelon and turns heads at the range. Honestly, it’s made me start thinking about picking up a second Echelon just so I can justify ordering another grip module. That’s how much I’m loving it.
Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their setup with style and performance.
Grip module Echelon
I recently started competing in open class for steel challenge and uspsa and I must say this product did everything I wanted and more it allowed me to set my echelon up with good balance and a great comfortable grip. Almost night and day performance wise to the stock echelon grip.
This grip is THE GRIP for my Echelon.
Not only this product looks great, it also feels great. Fits perfectly to my hand. Wife even loves the texture. It's her first time shooting and i was impressed the way she performed with it. All love for this product, Definitely a game changer and me more fall in love with my Echelon more. Thank you for another solid product.
Comfortable
This grip fits my hand well. Out of the box it's comfortable, smooth, and light weight, a perfect match to the slide. I've already recommended it to my coworkers as they've been interested in this product as well as many others from this site.
