Opinions on the Baby Desert Eagle 9mm

BloodRedStratus · 09-14-2005, 12:33 PM

So what is everyones opinion on the Baby Desert Eagle 9mm. I went shooting this weekend and one of the guys I was with rented one. Of course everyone wanted to try it out and I can say I fell in love with it as soon as I picked up the gun. And shooting it didn't disappoint. It shot a million times better than my 9mm.

Anyway, I have been in the market for a replacement for my Hi-Point 9mm, and the range I shoot at was selling them used for $419. Sound like a good deal? I know I am going to check around at a few other shops to see if anyone has a lower price.

the steel framed versions are excellent pistols.

Ditto... I have heard nothing but good things about the Baby Eagle, Jehrico pistols.

The last auction has a Baby Eagle with a frame mounted safety like a CZ 75.

I have a steel framed version and I love it! It's a joy to shoot and extremely accurate and I haven't shot any thing better for anywhere near the price.

Good gun but way too heavy for a 9mm IMO. That probably contributes to the accuracy and comfort though.

I'd have to agree with toolman on this one, it's a good gun but there seem to be a lot of 9mm pistols out there that make more sense than the baby eagle, design-wise.
