I've had this pistol for almost 10 years now, and I still am very pleased with it. It shoots great, feels great, and I like the safety/decock feature. It is a full-steel gun, which adds weight, but I like the lessened recoil and heft it provides. Some people who have shot it have said it "double fires", but I think it's just the trigger doing its job well and those people not being used to it. The slide will unlock and slam forward if you "slam" a clip in, but I'm not sure how common/uncommon that is. Personally, I like that it does this - its a nice way to get around fumbling with the slide lock every time you load in a new clip. During all the time I've had this pistol, I've maybe had 3-5 "major" failures, and I can trace those failures to me, not the gun. (such as: failure to eject because I forgot to clean the barrel, failure to feed from not inserting the clip properly, etc.) Accuracy: 5/5 Comfort: 5/5 Machining: 4.5/5 (some loose screws and small burrs - nothing that would keep the gun from functioning, but it bugged me enough to fix 'em) Value: 5/5 Would definitely recommend, and I would buy another for myself in the future!

Love this pistol, it was the first pistol I truly new I wanted to buy for myself and it shoot like a dream and has never had a single hickup or issue, amazing trigger, I love it and will keep it forever.

This is by far the best 9mm I have shot in my life. The all steel construction of this weapon makes it a bit heavy, but the weight gives you a more accurate firearm with reduced recoil. After taking our 9's to the range and shooting his and mine, my brother went home and ordered his own baby eagle the same day. I also have a Springfield XDM 9mm and it is a great gun but no match for this pistol.

Nice gun for the money, I like the steel frame weight and feel , gun shoots true .Nice gun for personal protection or sidearmBaby Eagle II 9mm steel frame 4,62 " barrel.Need four more mags !!IWI is alright!!!

Very pleased with this gun. Built very well. No complaints what's so ever. Shot 100 rounds through it with no problems. Easy to tear down and clean. You won't be disappointed with this gun.

Great in every aspect. Not a single problem. Its a great buy.

I got my Baby Desert Eagle for Christmas and I was very pleased with my purchase! The gun has great accuracy and can pattern the most expensive bullet to the cheapest very well. The gun is slightly heavy, but I think that just helps with the accuracy to me. The trigger is very crisp and doesn't require a trigger job at all. I suggest putting a laser sight on the bottom rail and getting a magazine loader for the 15 rd magazines because they start getting tough to put in with your fingers after 10 cartridges.

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.)

Got this one and now carry it as my personal defense. It fits my hand and just plain feels great when shooting. Accurate well beyond my current skill level. Recommended it and Bud's to all my co-workers. It will be my backup for USPSA competitions, production minor. Found that my Canik Shark mags work fine in the Baby Eagle II. Shot both at the Range last week...15 yds 1.5" -2.0" groups. Will be working up loads for both. Great guns great service... Bud's will get more of my business!

Wanted to comment on the Gun based on the 2 star review. I shoot IDPA and love this gun it is accurate and very reliable. I have shoot an M&P Pro and H&K P30L, but find the baby eagle to be a much better overall gun. Agree with the weight issue but very reliable. Only con is finding additional barrels.
