The Dan Wesson ECP (Enhanced Compact Pistol) delivers precision engineering in a tactical package built for serious applications. This 9mm platform combines aluminum frame construction with stainless steel durability for optimal weight distribution and corrosion resistance.
What Makes This Different
The ECP features a bull barrel configuration that enhances accuracy through improved barrel harmonics and reduced muzzle flip. Unlike standard compact pistols with lightweight barrels, the 4-inch stainless bull barrel provides consistent lockup and superior heat dissipation during extended firing sessions. The duty-serrated slide offers enhanced grip purchase for press checks and malfunction clearing under stress.
Key Features
- 4-inch stainless steel bull barrel for enhanced accuracy and durability
- Black anodized aluminum frame with integrated beavertail for comfort and control
- Duty-serrated stainless steel slide with black finish for reduced glare
- Black and gray G10 grips providing aggressive texture and moisture resistance
- 9+1 capacity with standard 9mm Luger chambering
- 1911-style controls familiar to experienced shooters
- Tactical rail system compatible with standard accessories
The ECP performs consistently across temperature ranges and environmental conditions. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in humid climates while maintaining tight tolerances. Competition shooters appreciate the bull barrel's contribution to shot-to-shot consistency, while duty users rely on the enhanced grip surfaces and positive slide manipulation features during critical situations.
