Finest, most accurate handgun ever made - Magnum Research Baby-Eagle Pistol, 9mm Luger, 4.52 in barrel

Knowitall's Review of Magnum Research Baby-Eagle Pistol, 9mm Luger, 4.52 in barrel
Im only reviewing the GEN 1 IMI Baby Eagle/Jericho941
Nobody talks about this so few realize, the gen 1's are the only ones with the polygonal rifling in the barrels.
AKA super accurate and no ballistics matching forensics.
The full steel frame is the one that is godly the rest are still good quality but won't shoot the same.
The magazine said 16 but held 20, could carry 21 cocked and locked.
The weight of the full steel frame so perfectly balanced, the slide machining so precise, recoil does not exist at all in 9mm, not .22 recoil....NO Recoil!!
The grip is of a shape that just fits your hand so perfectly that every time you pick it up, it hits your hand exactly the same leaving finger/trigger overlap same every time, the gun does not even need sights, it's the same as pointing your finger.
You can pick it up and put them all in the same hole rapid fire, or draw a smiley face or your initials as fast as you can squeeze em off, without aiming at all. point and shoot, it always hits what you're looking at , again as natural as pointing your finger.
If you want to know if you're looking at a gen 1 just look down the barrel it looks like a smoothbore, no grooves for rifling just a laser etched swirl barely detectable. I think the 9mm in this particular offering is far deadlier than the .40 because of the speed and accuracy of follow up shots with out recoil. Even if you go conservative on the magazine spring to have long reliability leave 3 rnds out you still got 16+1
I cannot overstate how simple it is to shoot this weapon like Billy the Kid with no practice. For me no other gun has ever done this.
I am stupid for sharing this secret before I obtain another one. Never ever should have sold the one I had. They are already very hard to find. Now I won't be able to afford one.
Pros:
balance, grip shape, no recoil, accurate, no ballistics match
Cons:
Heavy when fully loaded, but not even a con, as it's the reason there's no recoil.
Would Recommend:
Yes
