ECO Or EMP?
 

Thinking small 9mm here. Don't need one at all, just want one. I'm sure most of you can relate to that!

So, are they about the same size? One better than the other? Any real negatives to either of them?

If you want a 1911 go with the ECO.

The EMP looks like a 1911 but has different dimensions.

Springfield made the EMP around the 9mm cartridge, so it should be very reliable.

I don't have ether so this is JMO.:D

2nd this..........

The only PM7 I know is the full size DW .45.

Well, OK then.

In that size....springfield micro compact .LOADEDmodel. Love mine. Take a look

Bias opinion......ECO!

I've handled a couple EMPs and wasn't all that impressed with what I saw. I have yet to see a ECO but knowing the quality pieces that Dan Wesson has been putting out that I would be a fan instantly. I would want the 45ACP version though.

I've also handled the EMPs... shot a number of them also. Take a look at a Micro Compact. Same size, 45acp. I have a review on mine somewhere on the forum... just search it. Here's a picture to whet the appetite.

"Loaded" model, 3" barrel. You do your part, it will do its part.


For size comparison: The second firearm is a Colt Mustang Plus II in 380 cal.

Hope this helps... (actually, it may just confuse your choices even further! lol). I don't like 40 cal in this size frame, hurts my hand to shoot for more than a couple mags. The 45 just seems to push right out of the barrel if you know what I mean....

Just my thoughts. Good luck

I received a call about 30 minutes ago from an LGS informing me that they've received a few ECO blems.

It's only been four days since I told him I may be interested in one. I was thinking yesterday that it'd be cool to pick up a Baer for a few hundred more $$.
