I've been playing musical guns and the box that I thought contained the MR SP-21 actually had the MR Baby Eagle.
Magnum Research has been bought out by Kahr Arms and is making the Baby Eagle, which is a clone of the CZ-75, again. I have no idea about the quality of the current production. Mine was made in 2003 by IMI in Israel.
My complaint about the CZ-75 is that everyone I've touched had a creepy, gritty trigger. I own two of them in 9mm and 22LR, both need trigger jobs. It is possible to get a good trigger because I do have a special edition from their Custom Shop, and it has a excellent trigger.
Since it has been years since I shot the Baby Eagle, I cocked it and pulled the trigger (yes, I double checked to ensure it wasn't loaded; if I have an AD, I will be DOA i.e. my wife will kill me). I was quite pleased at the results, and tried it several times with the same results. It was not at all gritty, but was a little heavier than the EAA Witness Elites that are made in Italy.
If someone gets to dry-fire a new production Baby Eagle, I'd really be interested to know what their impression is concerning the feel of the trigger.
