Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5F / 4.0C OWB Holster with Streamlight TLR-1 or TLR-1 HL
This precision-formed Outside the Waistband (OWB) 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 channel for a balanced, secure fit.
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. It is compatible with the Manual Safety version of the Echelon.
Precision Fit & Construction
Each holster is vacuum-formed using precision-machined molds derived from CAD models of the actual firearm. Every unit is hand-trimmed, folded, and tested in-house for retention, comfort, and performance with the actual pistol/light combination.
Due to slight variations in TLR-1 light body design (old vs. new models), we have integrated an adjustable retention system to ensure a consistent and reliable draw across all TLR-1, TLR-1 HL or TLR-1 HP versions.
This holster will not work with the TLR-1 HL-X or TLR-1 HP-X light.
