Desert Eagles? Baby Eagles?

Rounds aren't cheap, and you won't want to shoot it all that much. I sold one I had because I never used it. It just sat in the safe.

I got my .44 Super Blackhawk and scope with what I had in that DE. Now I hunt with a pistol a dozen times or more each year.

They're supposedly good shite.

The Baby Eagle, as you know it, is another of many pistols based off the CZ-75 design. It was developed by IWI and originally named the Jericho 941, then I believe it was just Jericho. A handful of distributors have imported and distributed the pistol under the Jericho name. The gun went under the Baby Eagle moniker when Magnum Research began importing and distributing it. The only similarities are cosmetic. They are known to be good handguns, but heavy handguns. I personally like the weight and feel of them. They also point very nicely. I wouldn't recommend it as a carry piece though. The earlier ones came with polygonal rifling, which IMO is better than the later used land and groove rifling.

The video gamers know a lot more about the .50 AE Desert Eagle than anyone. Because that's its claim to fame.

I think you can safely assume that few, if any, U.S. LE agencies have ever issued the original (.50 AE) Desert Eagle. I would take the "under" if the O/U betting line were to be set at two.

When the .50 AE Desert Eagle was made in Israel, the Israeli military had an interest in it. There were reports that it was supposed to be issued to Israeli tank crews, but I've never seen any credible evidence that this ever took place. I've heard of some being sold to a handful of military units, but am not aware of any that actually issued them to troops.

But the world is a big place-- so anything is possible.

p.s. I do have a MR Desert Eagle 1911 (.45 ACP). Never shot it -- got it last year from Kahr under their Instructor Program and tossed it into the gun safe. Could have chosen the Desert Eagle Mark XIX in .50 AE, but who would want one ??

In The Matrix, the agents carried Desert Eagles.
None of the humans did. They mostly had Berettas, with a Sig, HiPower and some others thrown in.

I have a pocket Micro Desert Eagle and like it. I don't know anyone else who owns one though.

3 years ago the bastards were everywhere. Academy, Bass Pro, and all websites. I do want to hold one in my hands.

OHHHH, I see. What you meant to say was "if you leave reality and enter the Matrix, look out." You had it bassackwards and it confused me.

Someone mentioned CZ and I agree they make great firearms. My buddy's CZ 75B in .40 was pretty easy to shoot. I think my Beretta 96 is a bit smoother but that's just me.

The CZ sp01 Phantom is a great handgun, and my favorite CZ. The internal slide design makes it easy to manipulate and very very easy to shoot. It's one smooth piece.
