New Springfield Armory Echelon Pistol

[pop pop]

Does anyone have any experience, or firsthand knowledge, with the Sp Ar pistol? it has been out for over 2 years now and Sp Ar should have the bugs worked out of them by now. I don't like purchasing new model guns until they have been on the market for a couple years because of the bugs thing.

I am thinking of purchasing the larger full size 5" barrel 9 MM pistol for a house gun. I noticed they have come out with a smaller pistol with a 4" brl they are calling a compact model. I already have a couple SW MP 9 MM C 2.0 15 shot that have the 4" brl and a 9MM EZ SW 9 MM 10 + 1, so no real pressing need just would like a new full size fantastic plastic pistol. I will say I have a couple Glocks, a 19 9 MM and a 23 in 40 cal, but just am not a Glock fan.   

Give me some pointers if you are in the know concerning the Echelon. My understanding is that these pistols are in the 650.00 MSRP range. Have not priced one locally yet.
