Maybe I'm late in hearing about this, but DW has put the ECO in 9mm and .45 on the discontinued list.  I would have thought there was a market for a smaller pistol like this.

Anybody got any guesses as to why it was discontinued?

Son of a bitch! That one was on my list. As was the old Valor. They will probably release a new “updated” version in the future.

...with the K Trigger.

I am certain there is still a huge market for pistols this size.

It will come back , they already brought back the Valor and VBOB. If I remember correctly a CZ rep told me the ECO was one of DW's better sellers at NRA 2019. Also I love mine fantastic little blaster.

I’m thinking of a 1911 this size but around here they are selling used for 2k. Nice but that seems steep

I did not realize prices on them had gotten crazy , had mine since 2015~ and think I paid $1600 or so. Which to me is not bad for a 1911 that nice.

I was told Dan Wesson will build discontinued guns if you place an order for one.

Dan Wesson has gone down a path that doesn't appeal to me at all. The Valor is butchered, all I can see are commander 9mm Specialists and so forth for sale. Bring back the 2012-1018 stuff. That was the sweet spot.

They were even doing custom orders.  I ordered a Valor with the Specialist  top rib and magwell and different rear sight.

They got behind at one point and stopped though and of course now they've been closed because of King Cuomo.

I have mine a few years. My ECO is in 45acp. I installed a Smith & Alexander one piece mag well on the gun. A great small 1911.
