The Armory Life has released its Spring 2026 issue, its fifth-anniversary edition of the print magazine, according to Springfield Armory's press release. The issue leads with a cover story on the Echelon 4.0FC, which the company describes as a "hybrid" 9mm.
What Was Announced
The Armory Life launched its website in 2019 and began publishing a full-color, 96-page quarterly print magazine in early 2021. The release says the website publishes daily posts from firearms community experts, and the print edition gives readers a second way to consume that content.
