The pistol utilizes a serialized chassis system, similar to popular models like the SIG P365 and P320, marking a departure from HS Produkt's previous XD/XD-M line. The Echelon aims to appeal to military and police tenders, addressing the grip safety limitations of older designs.

A threaded barrel is also available separately.
