At the heart of the Echelon lies the Central Operating Group (COG).

Precision built from stainless steel, the chassis provides a robust housing for its patent-pending operating system.

A trench cut forward of the action gives shooters a natural index location for press checks and charging the firearm. The back of the slide is flared for positive purchase while deep forward and rear serrations are carried through the corners for a firm grip from any angle.
