The “Baby” of the Desert Eagle family offers an excellent handgun value and plenty of firepower. The grip design is exceptionally comfortable and well liked by shooters. Since 2008 the Baby Desert Eagle was no longer imported into the US, however beginning again in 2011 with the acquisition of Magnum Research by Kahr Arms we are excited to bring this popular firearm back to the US market.
Trigger action of the Baby Desert Eagle pistol is double action/single action (DA/SA) and is available in three popular calibers (9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) and several barrel lengths. The Baby Desert Eagle pistol is available in either a steel frame or a polymer frame with a black finish. The steel frames and slides are produced from high quality carbon steel with an attractive matte black oxide finish. Full size and semi-compact models feature a tactical rail for optional lasers and/or flashlights. All models come with a slide mounted decocking safety with dual levers and upgraded fixed combat sights with three white dots. The rear sight is well designed in appearance and is snag free.
After reading a lot of positive reviews on the Baby Desert Eagle, I picked one up. One year and 1,000+ rounds later, I couldn't be more pleased with this gun. The craftsmanship is impeccable, the weapon is deadly accurate right out of the box, and it is a pleasure to shoot. The minimal recoil pushes the gun back, not up, so it is very easy to reacquire your target. It's easy to change magazines with a slap to the bottom, the gun rechambers the next round. Breakdown and cleaning is very simple too. After the accuracy of the gun, the trigger is amazing - just like a 1911 I have 2. In summary, this is an amazing piece of hardware: high quality, fun to shoot, great trigger, deadly accurate. I highly recommend this gun, and Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore made it really easy to buy. They had the best price and the best online experience. I have purchased additional weapons from them and will continue to buy.
