I own one like that. It is my bed side gun. It is heavier than most, but shoots well. No feeding or ejection issues. Biggest con was finding a holster for it. Had to have one made.

I had an early IMI Baby Eagle in 9mm. Only sold it because it was always too small for my hand and I prefer a full size barrel length. Otherwise a great shooter with no problems. A little heavy for a compact but it's all steel and with heavier construction than most. My CZ 75BD seems about the same weight - or maybe a touch less.

That weight will be handy if the pistol remains a .40 S&W! I have an all steel .40 compact and it's a joy to shoot. Good luck with your decision!

Thanks! =)

Nothing wrong with the caliber. It's Way better than a 9mm in my book, even coming close to the .45ACP.

I'd even add it comes Very close with the newer Liberty Ammunition loading. BUT, then that's Only if you're still looking at the older .45ACP loadings and not the newer Liberty Ammunition loading.

My sister has an IMI Baby Eagle in 9mm Parabellum and likes it. I've shot it a couple times and had no issues. It seems to be a pretty well made piece.

I have a baby eagle 2 in .40. Its my favorite hand gun by far. And it's made in isreal so you know it rocks!!!!

I have always been impressed with Magnum Research offerings.

Mine is a Gen 1 9mm, very nice shooting gun with great ergonomics. The only thing I don't like about them is the safety location. Size and weight relegated it to a range toy as well.

40 is a fantastic caliber.

...hmmmm, 9mm range toy....gets me thinking about tubs of ex-GI ammo for pennies on the dollar....Thanks Landcruiser, hadn't considered that.
Now wondering if they allow wheelbarrow's at the range?

I have an early IMI 9mm full size and it's awesome. Accurate but a little heavy.
