The ECO has a 3 1/2 inch barrel. Compact!
The Valkyrie DOES have a Commander length slide. Correct!

No; compacts generally have 4-41/4" slides;'subcompacts have three inch slides.

Usually, a compact is a Commander length slide on an Officer's size grip frame.

True; but this is in the MIMber forum, so I was speaking to their "Compact" models.

I am last but I am proud. I have done some work on this unfired, idiot scratched beauty and it is a really nice piece. Oe day I will shoot the crap out of it, get over the scratch and either sell or put is in the fun rotation. Right now it has permanent safe duty to remind me to pay attention. There is value in that.
