DAN WESSON ECO 45 ACP 7Rd Black/OD Green Pistol (01989)

Presenting the ECO Pistol, a true single stack officer size 1911 weighing in at only 25 oz. For years the officer 1911 has been criticized for reliability. Dan Wesson's taken care of that by using some of the technology as well as background in doing what others say can't be done.

The ECO Pistol wears tritium night sights with tactical ledge sight on the rear of lightweight 3.5 inch slide. The barrel is a flush-cut ramped bull barrel with target crown rather than the traditional barrel and barrel bushing. This makes the gun slightly more compact and easier to disassemble. The recoil system is quite unique for this style of 1911 as Dan Wesson use a solid, one-piece guide rod and a flat recoil spring that is rated for 15,000 rounds in .45 ACP. That is 15,000 rounds! Not 500 rounds like most 1911 dual recoil systems are rated for. This is unheard of in a production 1911! This recoil system also gives the benefit of a smooth slide for easier operation and less felt recoil.

Trigger pull, like all of Dan Wesson's 1911s, is short and crisp at around 4 lbs. This helps achieve the accuracy you have come to expect from a Dan Wesson. The frame is anodized aluminum and features an undercut trigger guard and 25 LPI checkering. The mainspring housing is also aluminum with 25 LPI checkering and a rounded bottom corner for concealability and shooting comfort. These features coupled with the high ride grip safety and slim line DW carry G10 grips really help you hold onto the gun for faster follow-up shots and recoil control. Just like Guardian, the Dan Wesson ECO slide and small parts are treated with Duty finish and available in both 9mm and .45 ACP. Stopping power is not a concern.

If you are looking for a compact, lightweight and reliable 1911 that beats the competition, look no further than Dan Wesson ECO. Dan Wesson is confident you won't be disappointed.
