Just recieved my new ECO......
 

:D :D :D :D nanner
After being on the wait list at my local shop for about 3-4 months i was surprised yesterday when I got a call from the owner telling me he had a non blem in 45 acp that just arrived with my name on it.

I won't go into all the details right now (I will later). This pistol could easily be sold for double the price. quality is off the charts along with the design. Fit and finish - all I can say is wow.

I have not shot it yet but I will in the next couple of days and will take video.

Here are some pics. They are not the best since I have been fitting it to a new Galco Summer comfort holster so I need to polish it up a bit and re post some pix but these will do for now. All I have done is add the custom grip screws I got from VZ. I actually really like the VZ slim grips that come on it.

I havent been on the forums in a while but I figured it was time to start coming around again. I can't believe I was able to get my hands on one of these.
Range report with videos going soon......

I need one of these. Congrats on yours, she's a beaut!

SWeet when do I get to shoot it?

Really nice looking pistol. That's going to be a sweet summer carry gun.

Congrats Ryan it looks great!!:)

Looking good!!!

Congrats on a Sweet Looking DW ECO...........

Very nice looking. Congrat's

funny
Well if we ever have a get together / shoot out sometime you are more than welcome.

I cant wait to shoot her myself.

-Ryan S

NIce, looks spiffy. sent the thread to the wife for DW approval

So what is the street price on these beasts?

Thanks ALL.........

This make my 4th Dan Wesson and they seem to be getting nicer and nicer. The options you get with this pistol would cost you over $3000 if you got it from Wilson Combat. I am not knocking Wilson just saying....

The ECO has a new design on the top of the slide kind of a diamond cut if I had to explain it with the razor cut (Like the Heritage to stop glare from the sights), New designed Heinie straight eight rear ledge night sight (just flows with the top of the slide), Flared ejection port for better extraction, polished feed ramp, Target crown, Single spring guide rod with a flat spring rated at 25,000 rounds I believe, Under cut trigger guard, 25lpi stippling on the front strap and Main spring housing with a rounded butt. Of course custom VZ slim line grips (which I seem to like a lot) - I love custom grips so that would usually be the first thing I replace but I might stick with these for now. Then you add in Dan Wesson's Duty Finish and WOW it makes an excellent true officer size 1911.

Thanks again all,
I will hopefully have a range report and videos by end of the day tomorrow...

-Ryan S

Well as you probably know MSRP is $1662.00. I got mine for $1530.00. Once they become more available you might be able to find a better deal but probably not to much.

-Ryan S

Bud's has them out of stock but listed at about $1400.

$1,470 from Dave Severns, at least they were when I pre-ordered in early November 2011. The check for the balance is on its way to Dave as of today so, hopefully, mine should arrive next week.

Ryan's photos are making me drool! What kind of OWB holster is that?

That's a Galco iwb holster.

Oops :o

Man, I like that. Congrat's

It's ok Jack. No worries brother. Good product imo and they always talk about them on Armed American Radio.

Xxxxx

With a CCO and ECO, and P238, you've definitely got great carry options.

When you head to the range next time, shoot a text my direction.

The B M4's been neglected, so it needs some action.

Grizz

Beautiful! I love to hear how she shoots. I haven't heard much about them.

Yep its a Galco IWB Summer comfort holster. But its really not to comfortable :) but works good.

-Ryan S

Will do Grizz. Its been a long time since we went shooting. I have some new toys that we can play with. I have been neglecting some of mine as well. I really need to hit the Range.
work is working me to death 7 days a week but I will be taking next weekend off.... I will deffinitley hit you up.

All,
sorry for the delayed range report, i havent made it to the range yet but its killing me so I need to go soon even if its on my luch break one day soon and take some video and let you guys know how she shoots.

-Ryan S.

Congrats. Looks beautiful. Love to have one just can't justify the price. Got a New Agent Talo that will have to do.
Would like to see a range report.

Range report and hopefully videos coming soon. Work is killing me right now but I will hopefully be able to work in some range time very soon.

-Ryan S

Got word from Dave Severns Custom my ECO has shipped and will be at my local FFL Friday. I sure hope the shop is open Friday since I am away next week!

Beautiful! Be interesting to see how you like it compared to your CCO.
Congratulations.
Jim

Sweet looking ECO and the carbon fiber grips really make it that much more so. Congrats and can't wait to hear how she shoots.
Jerry

Nice ECO.... if you want more comfort in a IWB holster... the ECO will look beautiful dressed in Lasco Leather. PM Lane, or go to lascoleather.com for some really high quality holsters.
