Saw something new (FOR ME)
« on: September 18, 2008, 06:07:05 PM »
Went to pistol shoot last night and a new guy brought along a Baby Desert Eagle 9mm. First time ihad ever seen one in person and it was impressive. I didn't get to shoot it, but the lines are very nice, the fit and finish look great, and it's got real weight to it- about the heft of my 1911.

Maybe he'll come back again and I can try it (if I'm ever done thrashing around at my homework with this SR9) ::)

if you like the desert eagle I have a co-worker that has two of them (.50) and was talking about selling them. (he wanted to use the cash to buy a Barrett rifle)

Jay- Everything I have heard about the Baby Eagle has been good. I think the only thing about them is they seem to be a little hard to get. But maybe its cause anytime they are in a shop they get bought right away.

Have you thought about the FNP-9 at all. I rented one at the Pistol range up the road here a while back and I really liked it. I think I had the medium size grip on it and it felt and shot great.
Did we win???

Actually I HAVE looked at the FN9- was one of the ones I was considering on that fateful day when I went down the path and got the YOu-know-what. The FN wasn't sparkling that day.

I love the looks of the Baby Eagle, but the Desert Eagle, just can't figure out what I'd do with all that 50 cal or 44 mag or whatever. It would be fun to shoot sometimes, but that's a lot of hardware.

I liked them better when they were the Jericho 941, 9mm and .41 AE in one pistol, but the .41 AE soon went the way of the dodo bird. Great concept and nice gun but now you just get one caliber per pistol.

From what I understand, the Baby Eagle is a CZ/EAA Witness clone. The Witness compact is very similar in design.

I like the .44 mag because I feel like more of a man shooting one.

Have you ever tried the Browning Hi-power?  It has to be my all time favorite 9mm pistol.  However, I would love to try one of the LTC's in 9mm.
