I was going to drop some money on a Dan Wesson ECO but couldnt find one, so i found this at Bass Pro a couple months ago and decided to make my own "ECO". Just got my VZ grips on my daily carry gun so I think I am done. For now at least. Wilson Combat Grip, thumb safety and sear spring fitted by Larry Pockrus, along with a trigger job. I Replaced the recoil spring with a Wolff 21# and installed the wolff extra power firing pin spring. Had parts Refinished in Graphite Black Cerakote, except sear, disconector, springs and recoil rod by Scapel Arms! Put 600 rounds through it so far and will shoot another 500 tomorrow in Handgun 2 with 21st Century Gunfighter. Here is pictures.

The difference between shooting and soothing is one "H"'s placement.

You've put together a beautiful pistol. Of course I would have done it different, but that's why it's yours. If she shoots like she looks, I'd have done it the same way!

Thx and yes it's a 7 rd with modern mags, so 7+1 plus a spare mag gives me 15.

Shoots great too. Eats swc to all the jhp designs I've tried.
I will take pics of the wear once I'm done with my course tomorrow too.
Just curious what route you would have went, for conversations sake.
