I tried several magazines - that was my first guess, but all dd the same thing. Tried various ammo types and that made no difference either.

By the way, either I am getting far better (yeah, right) or the accuracy of the ECO is better than my other Dans. It is spot on out of the box at 7 and 15 yards. Not too shabby for an officer size!

I figured being tight was the problem. We will find out once you shoot it.

I wish the neighbors were out so I could find out how it is after racking a couple hundred times. They aren't, darn it, and would possibly freak out if I were to fire into the stream bank behind my house. Maybe they will be out in the morning and, if so, so will I

Jack, I hope that racking the slide a few hundred times will work out for you!!

It ended up going back to NY to visit with Keith. Ten days later it was back and runs perfectly in every way. Excellent service!

One interesting discovery: Federal American Eagle and the ECO don't like each other. No misfires, FTF, FTE or anything but I was missing the paper at 21 feet! CCI/Speer Lawman in the same mag made me look good. Go figure!
