Ogre:
Thanks for the report.
I've had a Baby Eagle .40 S&W Compact for several years now, and love to shoot it. It's the all steel version, and a bit on the heavy side for carry, but that weight absorbs the recoil just fine. It is a very accurate pistol, especially for one with a shorter barrel.
The trigger pull originally, in both SA and DA, left something to be desired, but since the pistol cost $300 NIB, the trigger job expense from The Action Works was a no-brainer. I also had difficulties getting the 10th round in the magazines, but Magnum Research replaced them at no charge with some that were a lot better. (Seems they knew there was a problem with the originals.) Since then, I have found some 12-rd EAA Witness/Jericho magazines that work just fine.
I had some doubts about choosing the model with the slide mounted safety/decocker vs. the frame mounted safety, but I'm pretty used to it now.
I don't know where the Baby Eagles are priced these days, but I thought at the time I bought mine it was a bargain. Still do!
