Is there a 'guaranteed' aftermarket mag for the full sized baby desert eagle in 9mm? By guaranteed, I mean a mag that will give reliable function and hold the slide open when empty. In reading this thread it isn't clear to me that the Mec-gars will work.
Does anyone have the final word on this? Jake |

Try Charles Daly - they are the new distributors.
I found Magnum Research to be RUDE and USELESS as far as parts support or repair. |

I have a big issue with alot of guns on trigger reach. Anyone with stubby fingers able to comment? Ive handled a older "UZI Eagle" and it felt like a decent reach.

Im fairly new to AR15.com and Guns in general. I have heard a little bit about the Baby Eagle, but i was wondering how one would compare to something like a USP .45 or a beretta 9mm?

I've never had much experience with either of those guns, but my full sized steel .40 BE is definitely my go to SHTF pistol. I would rate it as about the same level of quality and comfort as I have found in Beretta's I've fired, but again, I don't have any experience with either in 9mm. A .40 Beretta is on my list of things to get. I would say between them and the BE you should get whichever you think is cooler as they both seem great to me.

I'm picking up a semi-compact poly Jericho this month, I intend to use it for CCW. Although the OP was informative, I'm wondering what is considered the best IWB holster for that purpose?

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but Raven Concealment has holsters for the Baby Eagles now.

I ordered my RC holster back in July and it finally came in last week. The full size BE9 is still my most accurate autoloader and I am looking forward to carrying it more now that I have a holster actually made for it instead of various ones made for a G17/22 or M9.
The Raven holster was definitely worth the wait. It fits perfectly, retention is great, and with a long shirt/jacket, I can conceal the BE just as well as my G19 in a SuperTuck. Now I just need to look at sight options again. I'm happy with my Trijicon and Mepro sights for my Glocks, but I'm thinking I'd rather go with a target or fiber optic style sight for this gun as I rarely carry it at night. I will try to get some pics up soon. In the meantime, anyone considering the RC holster should not hesitate as it was well worth the wait. |

I just picked up my first steel 9mm BDE after turning 21. I am very happy with the purchase.
For holsters and what not, I just went straight to the source and bought from zahal. They have all kinds of Jericho/Baby Eagle gear, from holsters to a recoil reduction kit (still have to test). It's an Israeli Army site, and the selection is quite nice. Prices for the products and shipping are also competitive. As common sense would dictate, it is a longer wait for shipping though, as it comes from Tel Aviv. |

I just got my new IWI holster! I love it. the plastic feels tougher than kydex and the retention device is crisp. im worried it might remove some of the paint but im loving how secure it feels. the paddle is nice but i also got the molle and belt attachments, they all feel gtg. keep you guys posted after i hit the range.

I got the tactical tailor modular holster and shoulder harness for my full size baby eagle .40. I called them up and their great customer service rep told me to order the HK USP9/40 full size holster, and sure enough, it fit like a glove. It's perfect for hikes around the beautiful PNW!

Thanks Nice, I bet 9mm is even smoother with the steel frame, I'd love to try one of those out. Hope you enjoy it! As for the aliengear holster, the leather is a little thick, but for the price, it's very nice in fit and finish. It took about six weeks to reach me. The only problem I have with it is, well, the Baby Eagle. For me (I'm 5'11", 175lbs), it's too heavy to carry IWB comfortably. I'm still going to try to adjust the cant and wearing it at a couple of different positions. I think I'm going to look at getting a nice leather shoulder holster, since that's more comfortable for me. |

Any current holster opinions? Will need a holster for a steel frame full size with rail Jericho .40 S&W.

I ordered on Black Friday and I just received my holster this past week. I called and emailed them repeatedly looking for an updated shipping estimate-and never got one. I eventually started the chargeback process because they had my money and I wasn't convinced they would ever ship. Then my holsters showed up in the mail...so their customer service sucks but I eventually got what I ordered. |

Any US sellers? edited - it's got a rail in the usual place in front of the trigger guard... |

In front of the side belt loop, on it with the belt loop in the middle of the "paddle" or behind. I like my Uncle Mike's holsters better for the Sig 2340 and Ruger P89, the guns ride higher and more against me. I can ALMOST get away with them under a coat. This is the black leather covered, suede lined version. There is no positive click in/out of the holster, just a gradual "grab" as it goes in. Iowa has multiple bills going through the Statehouse right now, including making concealed permits confidential. Right now the liberal antigun bonehead Gazette publishes everyone's name who gets a concealed weapons permit in the newspaper. I'll pick up a Fobus roto and adjustable holster next. |
