Magnum Research BABY DESERT EAGLE
In .45, anyone ever handle one of these? Good, bad, ugly?

The few Desert Eagles I've seen have had loading problems but that might have been some issue with handloaded ammo (.44 mag).

They are big and bulky but seem to shoot fine. Had a friend who owned one.

Had the .44 mag. Best firearm I owned. I don't recommend low quality bullets, they will jam in the DE

Don't know about the Baby Eagle, but I have the full size DE in .50AE. Two words for you... LOVE IT! I have shot a couple different manufacturers factory loads, along with a whole lot of my own reloads, and have never had a jam (over 2000 rounds put through it). Of course, I am kinda anal when it comes to cleaning my weapons.
