Thanks skosh. It's just roughed in, needs to be polished to the file marks out, and the msh re blued, and a set of grips made to match the bob. Was using it for EDC till I got a Guardian. Now I need to clean it up more before I put it back in the carry rotation.

The ECO has a 3 1/2 inch barrel. Compact!
The Valkyrie DOES have a Commander length slide. Correct!
