I purchased the full-size, steel Baby Desert Eagle II, 9mm, from Bud's earlier this month and had it out to the range for the first time today. This pistol can be best described with a single word: SOLID - as it is solid in build, solid in design, solid in feel/ergonomics and solid in performance. To say it is a pleasure to shoot is a gross understatement. Moreover, it ate everything fed without a hiccup of any kind, including PMC e-range TMJ 115 grain, Speer Lawman TMJ Cleanfire 124 grain, Federal Premium bonded 124 grain HP, Federal Premium HST 124 grain HP and Speer Gold Dot 124 grain HP. (Per the owner's manual, I did not use any +P or +P+ ammo.) The grip and the single- action trigger pull are, at least for me, nearly perfect. In fact, the single-action trigger pull is downright awesome. One thing that really surprised me is that, with the right belt and OWB holster, the far from diminutive Baby Desert Eagle, with its 4.52" barrel and 8.25 OAL, actually carries well, and that includes concealed carry (at least in cold weather). Much of that is attributable to its rather sleek build. So far, this solid pistol has proven to be nothing short of fantastic. My only criticisms are: 1) I don't particularly like a slide mounted safety/decocker (much preferring the HK P30 frame mounted safety and separate decocker near the hammer), and the safety is quite difficult to disengage, although that may be a moot point due to the very heavy double-action trigger pull; and, 2) the one-year warranty given by the manufacturer, MRI. (I purchased the additional warranty from Buds.)
