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.

I am pretty sure the group here would be called "enablers". 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.

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.

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?

Just purchased an ECO in 9mm. Expect my FFL will have it tomorrow or Saturday.
