I believe Freedom Venture is a dealer for these...
(look at the sponsors list at the top of the page)

SFRC bottom right green tab on the sponsors. Deals with ammo as well

 

[Satain]

Thanx freedomintheskies & Dr.K but as you notice that this is a polymer lower with a steel upper and the ones on the 2 web sites that you told me to check out are of an all steel construction.

My buddy who works in a gun shop, and was an armorer for the Forces, told me
the Desert Eagle has a tendency to jam. Does anyone have any experience with
them that they can share with Satain?

Again those are the steel frame versions this one that I am looking for is the ploymer version.
pisces-guy I own a desert eagle and only in-proper re-loads jammed up on me, never the factory loads. As for the steel framed baby eagle I own, I have never yet had it jam on me once.

Barrel gas ports clogged up from cast bullets is #1 problem.

Avoid that type of ammo and clean it regularly and you won't have issues.

That's because I bring my 'A' game to this forum

Frontier had them on sale last week. Not sure if the sale is still on.

These have a different operating system from the Desert Eagle so don't worry about plugged gas ports from lead bullets.

OMG!
This is such a frustrating thread to read.

I think Master G is the only one who read the OP...

 

[bollox]

The OP by now------->

 

[sully015]

Eff it!!

Screw it, just buy a Glock.

Screw it, just buy a Glock.

Thanx bollox as only one that can understand that I am talking about the polymer version of this pistol.

Any retailer that carries the steel version should be able to order you the polymer version.
Why don't you try calling some retailers and do a little work yourself instead of being a smartass to guys trying to help you?

Satain have a read,you'll see that we're not as dumb as thought.BOTH versions are there for you to read about.

WoW you must be the smartest person ever or I could have just done that and after calling 20 retail locations across Canada and also stopped by 4 retail locations were I live they all gave me the same answer...
"I never heard of a polymer one before just the steel version that we have for sale here."
Also they are all retail locations that are suporting members of CGN and also some retail locations that are not on this web site.
Hence wise guy why I posted this thread in the first place. So instead of tring to insault me if you have nothing to say try keeping that gap closed.

Winchester_II I did read that although it left me with several questions as to the availibilty and also warrenty availiblity in our country. Also it makes no mention to what magazine set-up that it uses. Meaning is this hangun use new mags just for this or do they still use the same Witness/Tanfoglio mag's that the other Jericho's use? Plus they mostly talk about that dead cartridge 41 express but have no mention in there talking points besides that chart and one picture.
I was kind of hoping that some CGNer's out there might have owned this pistol and would have chimmed in but atlas I think I will just give up on asking questions that have never been asked.
