The Spanish National Police chose Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0FC 9mm pistols for its uniformed officers following rigorous evaluation. Jointly created with HS Produkt and shown by Lejarazu Sport SLU, the 2023 platform uses a serialized stainless chassis and a 4-inch slide with 17+1 or 20+1 capacity. Owner Dennis Reese and HS Produkt CEO Zeljko Pavlin noted the gun met shooting, accuracy, drop, obstruction, parts interchange, and climate requirements from -4°F to 122°F.
