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 $$.

I really appreciate the input guys. I really want the 9mm though, not the .45. I have this rugged little beauty in essentially the same size and in .45, and it's a freaking hoot.

I believe the EMP is a bit more narrow and 1/2"shorter. I have the ECO in 9 and love it. it is very accurate!

I had an EMP, steel frame 40 S&W. The key word here is HAD. I'm not bashing S.A., just saying what my experience was. I'd get the D.W. I did send it back to S.A. to make it right before I traded it, free advice is worth what it cost.

I'd like an ECO in 9mm, just to have one. I already have an ECO in 45 ACP and it shoots great. Recoil isn't a problem and the gun is just what I expected from a Dan Wesson 1911. I think if it were ME I'd go ECO hands down. Now price may be a factor, I don't know what the EMP's are selling for so that could tip the scales one way or another. But all things being equal, its ECO for me all the way.

Thanks. My LGS has two ECO's in the showcase right now @ $1499 ea. I am so damned tempted.
