OK I know I have 2 other threads in play...but not I am even more close to a hangun choice.



Baby Desert Eagle - 9mm - 4.5" Barrel - All Steel



I tried one today and it was frickin awesome and felt solid like a block of billet.  What do you guys think of it?  I am about 95% sure on this one and will probably buy in the next few days.



BTW - almost no recoil on this gun...awesome.

I have one, and it is a freakin' blast! The only complaints I have are (1) that the slide stop digs into my skin when I CCW w/o holster (I have a ClipDraw on all my CCW guns), and (2) it has a polygoal barrel which prevents me from using lead bullets. (The factory agrees with this.)
Have fun with it! It's built like a tank; might even outlast a 1911 in a brutality-to-your-guns contest (e.g., N_T 'aging' his guns)!

ETA for grammar.

get it!

I had a BE .40 and broke the firing pin tip, probably due to dry firing.

Better guns out there IMO.  I'd look at the CZs if you like that style.

I've had trouble finding CZ's in my area to try out.  CZ is my choice 1B.

I would also check out the EAA Witness line.  They are equal in quality, IMO, to the BE guns, and mags / parts / holsters will probably be a little easier to come by.

I have decided on picking up a CZ75B or CZ85B.  Gonna do it this week once I get some emails back with quotes from some local sellers.

The current BE does not have the polygonally rifled barrel.  That was done away with a couple years ago at least.  Also the BE frame and slide are made by Tangfolio (they make the Witness).  However the BE is fitted, etc in Israel.
