I am looking around at .45' s. Got a chance to handle the Baby Eagle. Really nice in hand and seems to be very nicely made. Now I' m torn between that and a 1911. This will primarily be a range toy and platform for reloads. The price of the BE is very appealing as is the fact that it' s a little different. However, I loves me some 1911.

 

Any thoughts? Anyone have a BE? How do you like it?

ifs you luvs some 1911 gets a 1911.

Get the Eagle, everyone has a 1911.

The Baby Eagle is nice... but if you're specifically looking for a range toy and a good platform for reloads, the 1911 is your best choice. You can't ever go wrong with a nice 1911, dude!

The Jericho is an excellent gun. You will be happy with it.

1911 There is no other choice!

I own a 19l1 and love it.

My buddy owns several AND a BE and it is a might might fine firearm.

Kimber for me !

1911 all day!!

I own both only my Baby is in 9mm and was still under IWI, I love it to death it's the most accurate out of the box gun I have ever shot for me at least. I also have a Kimber Custome and it's great I love it also but just in feel alone it's something that I cant compare. They each service a different purpost and nitch. If your going to be pliiking a lot I would go with the Babyeagle If your going for nastalga and collecting the 1911.

I personally can't wait to get my 1911. 1911 for the win!!!

Theres a reason for that. Get a 1911

get the 1911 in 45 and get the BE in 9mm...

It took till the 7th post in the thread to get the write answer.

I loved my BE 45, but the slide-mounted safety killed it for me. If you can find one with a frame-mounted safety, go for it. A nice alternative would be a CZ97 as parts are far more available for it.

I'm with j0n, if you can't decide between a baby eagle and a 1911, the CZ97 is your answer, it splits the difference, plus they are VERY pretty.

 

Kimber pro Raptor. You wont be sorry.

For reloads and range fun why not get a gun that works every time?

71 Ragtop... I like the Raptor, but ^^^this^^^ is one pretty firearm! Standard rifling or poly? Anyone know? Also, where can I find one?

Fairly certain it has traditional rifling. I know Drez was selling one on here for awhile.

Just exercised my google-fu. Traditional rifling indeed.

I have a Sig 1911 and out of all the hand guns I have it's my favorite to shoot. I didn't understand what the big deal was with the 1911 untill I shot one. Try to rent a 1911 at one of the ranges before making your choice.

I have a 1911 in 9mm. Just wondering if I want another one in .45. Or, do I want something different.

I'm a firm believer that one can never have too many 1911's.

you did that backwards...

Might as well get the 1911 in .45 and after that you can work on 2011's.
