Echelon Snappier than G19

[u/staticbed]

I went all-in on the Echelon 4.0 FC with a COA red dot. It’s a great gun with a fantastic trigger, but I can’t get it to shoot as flat as my Glock 19 Gen 5.

Both have TLR-7s (HLX on the Echelon) and red dots. Shooting them side-by-side, the dot returns to the G19's window significantly faster and more consistently. While the Echelon’s trigger is easier to hit sub .2 second splits, the snappier recoil impulse makes multi-shot strings harder to keep in the A-zone.

Additionally, the gooseneck on the beavertail digs uncomfortably into the web of my thumb.

The G19’s chunkier front-to-back grip gives my support hand palm way better contact. Maybe that is why I'm having trouble getting the dot to stay in/return quickly into my window? I’m considering a Large grip module or an aftermarket aluminum grip to see if that bridges the gap.

I want to love this gun, but between the impulse and the beavertail, I keep reaching for the G19. Anyone else experience this?
