Man, thanks for the video !!!!! I was sweating bullets when I heard my extractor drop while trying to replace the backplate. I thought it had a spring under it like the XD-s does and I panicked thinking it flew out never to be found again... You're the only dude in all of UA-cam with a detailed explanation on the Echelon's striker and extractor assembly, your vid saved me hours of looking around my living room for a ghost spring !!! Lol 😂 Keep up the good work Arsenal, awesome video !!! 💪😎
UBR, thank you. For me this was perfect level of detail. How so? I literally followed along while worked on mine. As for accuracy and precision of detail, extremely appreciated. Asymmetric parts need to be installed correctly - i.e. the half-moon extractor piece attached to the end of the extractor spring. And for the "tricks and tips" on dealing with the re-inserting the back plate? Perfect!!!
This has to be the best instruction video I have ever seen and I have seen a lot. It's too bad that you did not have "GO" and " NO GO" gages so you could show how to check the chamber. You should contact Springfield to see if you could sell this video to them.
great video, i just got this piece for Christmas, anyway was thinking of getting a Closed Emitter red dot the Holosun EPS is very nice but pricey how do you like the Cyelee Bear? i have been considering it but wasnt sure, my use is for the range, night stand, i might CC it im not sure, if i can find a IWB that i like that works for it.
Thanks man. I’m glad you liked the review. I have a review of the Cyelee Bear on my channel. I didn’t like it because the window was too small. Before I give you an optic suggestion let me ask you this. Does the optic have to be enclosed?
I heard Springfield went above and beyond to make sure this pistol would be safe. They wanted to make sure there wouldn't be any issues. So I would say it's just as safe as a Glock.
To me, it doesn’t look like it. It looks like the safety plunger is relying on the rear of the striker, where the sear catches. If the back of the striker fails completely, all safety mechanisms are negated. Hopefully it’s only partially cocked. I’m guessing it’s fully cocked though since everyone compliments the trigger. I was hoping the design would be like the hellcats/glocks.
In a sense, the Glock is safer. Both have a striker safety plunger. Ideally, this would prevent the striker from hitting the primer on a round should other safety measures fail. HOWEVER...the reason the Glock is safer is because its striker safety plunger is located in front of the striker instead of at the rear, like the Echelon. Here's the reason why: if the striker were to break (though unlikely, is still possible) along the shaft of the striker and not just at the lug (where the striker touches the sear), the striker spring will propel the broker striker forward because it is pushing against the spring cups and the striker sleeve. Since the Glock's safety is in front of the striker, even if this catastrophic malfunction were to happen, the plunger would still stop movement forward. On the Echelon, if that shaft breaks, since the plunger is in the back, there is nothing preventing the broken section from flying forward and setting off the round. I'm honestly astonished at how many different manufacturers use the rear plunger design when it seems like such an obvious oversight. They are all probably banking on the striker never breaking in that manner, even though it is very possible.
Ok. For me the problem was with screws that holds reddot. Screw holes in slide exposes extractor spring so if your m3 screws are long enought then right screw will block extractor sprint. Take off reddot and give it a try
"if you use a poly.." PLASTIC! using a different name doesnt make it non plastic. nothing wrong with plastic parts, but they are plastic at the end of the day.

I'm glad the video helped out. 👍🏼 Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Have a great day.
OMG! I don't think I saw any instruction video that perfectly clear! Thanks!
I’m so glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Have a great day.
Fantastic video. Came just to learn to remove back plate, stayed to disassemble everything just for fun!

This video is great, especially for people who want a slower pace on how to be shown things! Great video love the detail!! Thank you

Excellent instructional video! The images, the explanation, the closeups, nothing but quality! Thank you so very much! 😊

Great idea, I'll do the same. Work as I watch.
Excellent video. Helped reassemble my Echelon slide immensely. I was stuck after I got it apart 🤣🤣

Very well done. Thanks!

I tore mine apart a few days ago, got curious and just tore the whole gun apart. Pretty simple and straight forward to figure out
Yeah not difficult at all. 👍🏼
🤜🤛
Not for all of us. Glad for you though.
Great video. Thanks 👍🏼

What plate are you using for your cylee bear
If I remember correctly, I’m using the plate that came with the optic.
Where do you get the polymer punch tool?
does this video detail the striker / internal safety VS the glock? is the glock still safe-ER?
I heard Springfield went above and beyond to make sure this pistol would be safe. They wanted to make sure there wouldn't be any issues. So I would say it's just as safe as a Glock.
@@UBRArsenal when cocked, is the echelon spring at 100% (can fire if magically all of the internal safeties broke)? or is it at 60-70% like Glock?
To me, it doesn’t look like it. It looks like the safety plunger is relying on the rear of the striker, where the sear catches. If the back of the striker fails completely, all safety mechanisms are negated. Hopefully it’s only partially cocked. I’m guessing it’s fully cocked though since everyone compliments the trigger.

Do you know if the striker itself is MIM, cast or machined?
No, I don’t know how the striker was machined.
You don't need a punch, there's one on each backstrap...
good point, but steel on polymer? Probably not a problem considering the lite spring tension.
I was taking this apart but the extractor spring is stuck how do I fix this
Without seeing it, it would be hard for me to help.
Im struggling exactly same problem...
Ok. For me the problem was with screws that holds reddot. Screw holes in slide exposes extractor spring so if your m3 screws are long enought then right screw will block extractor sprint. Take off reddot and give it a try
👌
Thanks! 🤜🤛
Can you take apart the cog? lol took mine apart a couple hours ago and struggling to put the rear of the cog back together 😂
"if you use a poly.." PLASTIC! using a different name doesnt make it non plastic. nothing wrong with plastic parts, but they are plastic at the end of the day.
Yup, just a different way to say the same thing. 👍🏼
So much unnecessary talk and garble. Just try getting to the point much faster and your videos will be much easier to watch.
Sorry you didn't like the video. I have to keep the pace slow for beginners. Thanks for watching and have a great day. 👍🏼
Great video
