ECO vs CCO?

[Brandana]

I have both and new to DW. My only prior experience is full size 1911's and certianly not an expert. The ECO is more comfortable to carry by a small margin and I am leaning more towards the strait eight sights. Maybe after a few hundred more rounds I will have a favorite, but not yet. The thicker CCO grips feel better and has a little less recoil. The ECO grips feel too thin for me and an easy fix. With the same grip they are very similar and the triggers are identical. They are both keepers. It would be hard to buy the CCO and not end up with both, unless you just don't like the shorter barrel. I bought the CCO first but could not resist adding the ECO after reading so much about it. Also use the same iwb holster for both. It would help if you could handle each first. No lgs in my area stock DW's. If I could only have just one, it would be the CCO.

Thanks, that helps. I was leaning towards a CCO and I think I'm going to go that route. Besides, I can always get the ECO later.

Good choice, can't go wrong with the CCO.

I sold my CCO. Not sure what it was, the shorter grip, the balance, or what, but it just didn't suit me. That said, I am considering an ECO in 9mm.

Zilmo, just a suggestion, if it felt short try a S&A magwell/msh, adds 1/4". Makes a difference. Also, just tried the Xgrip spacer for an eight round mag for my ECO and CCO which adds 1/2", plus will catch your pinky. Both work well if the grip is too small and hardly has an effect on carry.
