 Hey there friends. Thanks for checking in today. We're going to do a range comparison with the CZ 75 sp01 phantom full-size double-action single-action handgun Versus the new spring field armory echelon. These are both very different I already know that but this is a striker fired. That's a hammer fired but they're right around the same MSRP at least they were when the CZ was available they discontinued it, but I think they're both fine handguns, and I just want to compare them Let's start with the CZ comes with 18 round mags It has a four and a half actually four and a quarter pound trigger pull This models the full-size SP01 Except for it has a polymer frame. No CZ discontinued it They discontinued it twice brought it back twice discontinued it twice. I have to believe because of the P09 very similar handgun, but a 4.6 inch barrel full pick rail right there three dot luminescent sights that are rather small and a Decocker right here Okay, Decocks the gun into quarter cock. I've always loved this I considered it one of my favorite CZ handguns because it's palmer they offer an additional backstrap went for about 600 six and a quarter when it was available Same upper as the full-size SP01 with the steel frame. Let me take a few shots here. I think I mentioned 18 round magazines nice pistol Yep, people love CZ on this channel. You guys love CZ92 That's why I own more than a couple but over here. We've got the The new Springfield armory echelon Now Springfield built this from the ground up They made a completely different pistol than anything else in their lineup. We'll start with the mag Here's a 20 round mag. They also have a 17 round mag 4.5 inch barrel You can see they have a trench cut there where that bevels in a little bit makes it a little easier for press checks Yes, it's optic ready. They call that VIS variable interface system Kind of cheating, but it's not a shooting comparison. It's a handgun comparison It's got that nice adaptive grip texturing that I like and it's modular Okay, so the trigger chassis will come out go into different size frames The trigger is a five pound trigger. It is flat and It has a very short reset The Phantom has luminescent sights. This has a tritium front dot and a u-notch in the rear Full pick rail as well both full-size handguns What I love about this are the additional features like the VIS system the modularity the different takedown with many of the compared to the other Springfield Armory handguns and the magazine capacity of 20 rounds. Love the echelon Love the Phantom. Let me take a few shots here and I'll give you my choice as to which one I would go with all right echelon is Pretty amazing when I hear people say well, that's not as good as this or as good as that. I Wonder if they even shot it both our fight handguns both are mine So I don't have a a major bias here love this I've had it since 2019 which is when they brought it back. So I've had it much longer the Phantom is a phenomenal handgun. I was bummed when they discontinued it, but I understood why Springfield on the other hand built this from the ground up they created a handgun that is very desirable very updated with some of the the optics that you could put on here up to 30 different and even more with the footprint variants both full-size decent capacity 18 rounds here and any other CZ75 magazine will fit in there and Then 20 rounds here if I had to choose one I'm going with the echelon I just love the updated features now if this had an optic on it. Maybe that would be different Yeah, go ahead and get the slide mill for an optic. Well, maybe I will but right now I'm not going to both phenomenal handguns What I really want to know is which one would you choose if you like videos like this Please subscribe and share. I always appreciate thumbs up button. Thanks for watching and you guys be safe
