I was at the pawn shop today and they had this gun for sale, so I asked to look at it.
The gun was practically new. It came with four factory 10-rd magazines, and the price tag said $599.
I tried the trigger and was suprised how nice it was. The DA trigger was long, but not too heavy, and the SA was really impressive - very crisp and light with short travel, it rivaled the Sig P220. I don't know if the previous owner had trigger work done on this gun or not, but that's a possibility.
The slide-to-frame action was slick - it was like riding on greased rails. Another example of quality workmanship (or gunsmith tuning).
The gun is heavy to be sure, since it was made with steel frame and steel slide. But this could be a good thing as it would absorb the recoil of the .45, making it one of the more comfortable .45 pistols to shoot.
This particular pistol had an OD finish on the frame which complimented the black slide very well.
Overall, if you're looking for a good combat .45 handgun, I think this Baby Eagle would fit the bill nicely, offering 10-rd capacity (not as much as the XD45 but more than P220 and 1911). I never gave the Eagles much thought, but having handled this one I was impressed with the quality (it was made in Israel).
