Baby Eagle

I got one in .40 and I really love it. The accuracy is really good. I like the grip a lot. The only con I can find for now is the finish. You can see some marks inside the trigger guard. For the price, you can't ask for perfection. I have a couple production pistol in the 1500-2000$ range and I still enjoy shooting the Baby. I've paid 750$ for it, the lowest I have in my collection, and I would take it over some of the others. It's not my first choice but I really like it. You know what, you should buy the gun and don't look back cause you will buy others anyways.:D

I think that there is no perfect one, they all have pro and con that change from user to user! Sure there is some lemons out there but even then, you will find someone who like it so...

do what he said
thats the best advice you can get.
 
its on my list to get ., but in 9mm.
BCRider are you talking about the one at dvc. i played with it too. i like them. they are very different imo compared to alot of other pistols. i really like the steel frame on it. for an all steel gun its not that heavy. but like BE, something about it just appeals to me i guess. i think the finish on the BE is a bit better than the CZ,
but the one big thing you gotta think about is.. if you need parts your SOL, the cz is by far the better choice if you need parts ,acces,mags,

anyhow good luck.

Yep, that's the one. The parts issue may be a deal killer though if this is a real issue. Who handles the distribution of them in Canada? There must be someone since they are still sold new along with the big DE's.
 
An okay gun, but you can do better for the money. As with many CZ75-based pistols, the extractor is somewhat wonky and tends to send empty cases in your face. In Israel, where this gun is made (and known as Jericho 941), it is considered an "entry level" pistol issued to cops, security guards and regular army grunts, while special forces carry Sigs and Glocks.

IMO, if you want a quality metal semi-auto chambered in .40S&W, get a Sig P226 or Browning Hi-Power.

They are only lazy if the slide or ejector is tight as when new or it's gummed up in some way. The one I shot tossed the brass to the side just fine. And trust me, it's not a pampered example by any means.

My own CZ started with the same weak ejection you're mentioning but after some breakin shooting and a good cleaning it perked right up and is tossing brass with the best of them now.

So if this is a CZ and CZ clone trait it's only a temporary one at worse.
 
I WOULDNT BUY ONE AND HERE IS WHY:

Zero service if you have any warranty issues. I bought a baby eagle chromed in 9mm it was my first gun. 500 rounds in a spring broke so I had to send it in for warranty. Four months later and lie after lie after lie i:mad:t was finally fixed. I sold it as soon as it came back. Terrible service the worst I have ever seen. When the gun worked it was great but I didnt want to worry about needing warranty work again from those losers.

if you can tell me one firearm company we can get good service with here in canada, i will withdraw my next statement.

in canada , we dont get warrenty. theres no point sending ANYTHING off to get fixed, because chances of you ever seeing it again or how long it will take is pathetic. when i buy a gun new or used . i look at it as if theres no warrenty. besides you coulda changed that part by yourself.
sorry thats just my opinion.
only IF, there was something that i either couldnt live with . or something so severe, its better being sent off to have fix will i send it back. but small parts that cost very little. id just buy it and fix it myself. its not like we live in the states were you can just send it in and have it back in a week.

now if you cant get any parts . or find parts is very very hard. like the steyr pistol. then id avoid it.
you must keep in mind we live in an anti gun country, when imi ,or sig or beretta or colt whatever hears. oh we got some guns coming back from canada, they laugh. we are a very very small part of anyone of their customer base. were just lucky they still ship to us some stuff.

I can't say I disagree with your statment as to service but I have only had the one time dealing with warranty so I also can not speak to how other companies handle warranty good or bad. Assuming you are correct about all gun warrantys in Canada not being very good then they should give us deviated pricing to reflect no warranty rather then charging us the same as our American counter parts. If they want to charge the same or more from us Canadians for firearms then they should be prepaired to look after us the same way they do in the U.S.
 
Smith & Wesson

really , well that makes me feel better about buying a s&w . who takes care of all there warrenty work ?

ya keep in mind, that in the states you get a much longer warrenty period too, some are lifetime. i dont think we have much to haggle with. its not like we give them water, or electricity, or any other natural resource we have. i think were just lucky we have what we do. i would like to see more pistol companies do what the rifle/shotgun companies do and branch out there warrenty work to smaller gunsmiths who specialize in a particular product. like remington and browning i hear have decent warrenty that are done through some gunshops. but whatever, nothing you can do.
 
+2 on the Baby Eagle!! Awsome gun! Tried alot of different CZ designs and they are mostly the same! NZ Norincos are a little less smooth, but not much. It is like the whole Coke and Pepsi thing. For the regular shooter they work great!! Maybe better!
 
just wondering what is the mane differance between the baby eagle and the baby eagle II i cant seem to finf to mucn info on the comparison, thx.
