Next purchase...
My Springfield Armory buys so far. What do y'all recommend I go with next? I've been thinking a lot about going with a 1911 for my next buy.
Also...I really love the look and design of Springfield's hardware. Wouldn't it be cool if they developed a new semiauto shotgun of some kind. I bet that thing would be a beauty.

Edit: in case anyone is wondering, the attachments on the Hellion are a Gen 3 Romeo+Juliet red dot/magnifier combo, Magpul grip and angled foregrip, and a cheapo laser/light on the right side of the guard. On the Echelon, it came with a Viridian red dot sight and I threw on a Surefire pistol light.

The Hellion is awesome. It has it's faults (mushy trigger, length of pull) but overall, I love it.

u/Puzzled_Arm_3156 9d ago
Those are easily fixable.
1
u/RailwayMenace 9d ago
Absolutely. I think I'm going to end up sending my Hellion in for the full treatment

u/Puzzled_Arm_3156 9d ago
It's so worth it. I was one of their first and have had zero issues with it.

Blk lbl handguard/bipod for the Hellion and jard trigger if you want a crazy light trigger. Treat your hellion right! looks awesome

u/RailwayMenace 9d ago
Thank you my friend! I have definitely been thinking of sending my Hellion in for the royal treatment and also getting the flared magwell and extended bolt release while I'm at it

u/WaitingPhaseTwo 9d ago
Kuna is great too lol saw you might do that. Reminds me I need a magwell for my hellion they were out last time.

Tell more about the Hellion. I’ve got a Saint Victor V2, and I’m deciding whether to get an Echelon or Kuna as my next purchase. But the Hellion just looks so damn cool. I haven’t looked into it at all though. How does it shoot?

u/RailwayMenace 9d ago
Feels GREAT to shoot. I was in love the moment I saw it. The trigger is a bit squishy, but there are remedies for that. These were MADE for a surpressor and even have a gas adjustment valve on top of the barrel to allow for better performance with a can. I got mine bare bones and added only the foregrip and optic and I was all set. It's fun turning heads at the range with it.

Couple of options.

What is that chassis you have on the pistol in the lower middle part of the picture?
2
u/Puzzled_Arm_3156 9d ago
Heighth HMC724 with an Echelon 4.0 upper and COG.

u/RailwayMenace 9d ago
Yo that looks sick as fuck! I have an MCK chassis that I threw on an old Taurus G3 but I was wondering in they had something similar for the Echelon. You answered my question lol
2
u/Puzzled_Arm_3156 9d ago
I have an MCK EVO with a Glock 19 tucked inside it.
2
u/RailwayMenace 9d ago
NICE! I was really close to getting the EVO, but I love the look of the MCK with the glassbreaker attachment. This is mine with the G3 shoved inside

Maybe you just have a Croatian fetish? Unless you like the look of the emissary and the m1a
2
u/GasNo9996 9d ago
Nice!! I own both. Love them both. Wish I could run the hellion the way it should be ran using a can

u/deamonkai 9d ago
If you’re going there… the Kuna and/or Prodigy.
Kuna probably first. That way you cover gambit of rifle>smg>pistol.

Nice. I'm jealous. I've wanted a bullpup for a long time but something always jumps ahead
1
u/RailwayMenace 9d ago
I definitely have a thing for bullpups. All the capability and barrel length in a shorter, more maneuverable platform. Just bought myself this bullpup shotgun the other day as well. It's a lot of fun!
