Damn DW, this addiction started with the Valor, lead to a CCO, and now to round out the family, an ECO. Where does this stop?! :D I should seriously look into reloading as buying ammo is getting expensive. Time to start reading the reloading forums...LMAO.

I thought I'd be content with just one, nope. A retired jarhead has to have some kind of hobby to keep himself busy, otherwise we run amok.

MEZ, those ECOs are nice! A guy that comes into the range all the time has one and he offers to let me shoot it....of course, I accept.

You can't just have one, it would get lonely.

Got one in 45. Do I really need one in 9mm? Yup!

Sure you do! Besides, its cheaper to shoot 9mm so you're 'SAVING' money.:)

Not sure if I will do the ECO. I had a CCO and just wasn't comfortable with it. I'm not sure if it was the balance, the shorter grip, or what. Right now I'm really happy with my Guardian in 9mm, and my two Cbob's in .45 and 10mm.

+100 on the guardian. Its a dream to shoot... I would say that thats where the addiction stops, but......:bs:

I am pretty sure the group here would be called "enablers". :D I took the Valor and the CCO to the range yesterday. I prefer the Valor over the CCO but wouldn't part with either at this moment. I think I need thicker grips on the CCO (wearing thick VZ Gators now) and will probably swap out the rear sight for the Heinie's that the Valor has. Amusing that after 20 years in the Corps, shooting the 3-dots of the Beretta, I prefer the Straight 8's. My 13 year-old daughter prefers firing the CCO, curious to see what she thinks of the ECO. Contemplating the NH .22 conversion so my 9-year-old can join in on the fun as well. The .45 is just way too much for that kid. :eek:

I checked out an ECO blem today at the local range/shop, and was very impressed with it.

The least liked feature to me is the two dot sight setup. If I got one, I'd probably swap the rear for a Heinie two dot one.

I should track down someone local that's got one so I can put it through it's paces.

Yep, and when you get 2, they breed! :eek:

Fantastic, if I keep my CCO and ECO together in the safe they will have a Guardian..:D

I have the NH 22 conversion, it's a great piece! I run it on my RIA but have used it on my valor and my NH T3. Run it wet, with hot ammo, it's accurate.

That's a mighty nice collection you will have. My progression was CBOB, Heritage, CCO. I hope to add a ECO and Valor to my collection someday.

Picked up the ECO yesterday and made it to the range today. Where would you all like the Range Report and blunt opinion? http://images1.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp%3B%3C%3B%3Enu%3D3335%3E759%3E387%3E WSNRCG%3D3592%3B959%3B%3A335nu0mrjhttp://images1.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp%3B64%3Enu%3D3335%3E759%3E387%3EWSNR CG%3D3592%3B9924%3A335nu0mrj

Mez, not fair holding back that range report. Do I see a Bulldog down there?

working on the Range Report. Typed up a detailed one twice, go to hit post and I get kicked out of COTEP with nothing saved. :mad: Love the ECO, would of picked it over the CCO. Have issues with the Slide-Stop not going back in without the use of a credit card. Swapped the S/S out of the CCO and it goes in like it should. Will attempt to type all this out again.
