Basically, is there ever too much customization of your handgun?
One of my current Springfield Echelon pistols has quite a few custom additions to it.
(Be sure to read aboutSpringfield Echelon upgrades.)
Tyrant CNC offers a variety of modifications for the Springfield Echelon semi-automatic pistol. In this review, the author takes a look at the company’s new trigger option.
I started with Floyds Custom Shop magwell and baseplates.
The baseplates I tried were the standard, +2 and +6.
I then added the Floyds magwell to give a little more surface area for a solid grip.
Shown is the author’s Echelon equipped with Tyrant CNC trigger, SureFire X300 Turbo and Vortex Defender-XL red dot sight. Don’t miss Richard Johnson’sSureFire X300 Turbo review.
Finally, I got the full custom porting that Floyds offers to give just a bit more performance.

Obviously, you should probably be very careful and cautious about a trigger change.
Disassembly of the Echelon is required to install Tyrant CNC trigger. Fortunately, disassembly of the Springfield Armory Echelon is a simple process.
Reading the Tyrant website, the trigger was described as being performance-oriented with a 4-lb.
break weight and a 20% reduced pre-travel.
After my research, I decided it was definitely worth trying out.
Removal of Springfield Echelon’s Central Operating Group is required to install an aftermarket trigger. The Echelon makes this process easy.

The installation process was very straightforward, with the Echelons innovativeCentral Operating Groupmaking the trigger bar removal simple.
The factory trigger pin then needs to be pushed out with a pin punch and armorer hammer.
The author tested the newly installed Tyrant CNC Echelon trigger out on the shooting range. It performed quite well. Be sure to also read the author’sVortex Defender XL red dot sight review.
If you need help, there is an installation video up on the Tyrant website.
You should then ensure all safeties are still operational.
There was very positive engagement when the trigger shoe safety was depressed.
The Tyrant CNC trigger for the Springfield Armory Echelon proved reliable. It also matches the general look and style of the gun.
The reduced pre-travel was very notable, and it felt like the trigger was almost at the wall.
My immediate thoughts were that the weight was right at the 4-lb.
breaking weight, but the pre-travel reduction was even more notable than I expected.
To be honest, the trigger pre-travel felt more like that of a 1911 than a striker-fired pistol.
The biggest positive here is the performance, obviously.
The interface feels great.
The performance is to me more than stated on the website from Tyrant.
Is the Tyrant CNC Trigger for You?
But, I really appreciated what it brought to the table.
If it seems like a good fit for you, definitely take a look.
