I'm interested in getting a 9mm Baby Eagle with the steel frame, but I want to ensure that the reliability, accuracy, etc. live up to my expectations.  What have your experiences been with the Baby Eagles with steel frames?

I have an original Jericho 941 model and it has been fantastic in most regards. It is accurate, easy shooting with its heavy steel frame, and reliable with any ammo I have put through it. The only negatives are its heavy weight makes it not my first choice for a carry pistol, and the finish seems pretty thin a lot of older or well use pistols have worn bluing and or rust.


There are a few articles from Shot show 2015 saying IWI is bringing the Jericho 941 back to the US market, that should mean a cheaper source for "Baby Eagles".

Another thing about them is they are not an exact CZ-75 clone, the pretty much function the same, but they have some different parts and are like the Tanfoglio's.

They are built from Tanfoglio parts.  Slides and magazines interchange 100%.  I run a Tanfoglio large frame 22 conversion on my 45 Baby Eagle.

I've had a Baby Eagle in .40 for about four years now.  It's been nothing but reliable and accurate.  The finish has held up really well.  Only issue I've had is the rear sight has shifted a little on me after a couple thousand rounds, but I'm replacing the factory sights with Meprolights in the next week.  Hopefully they hold up.

Are you saying that I should just buy a Tanfoglio?
