  Does anyone know where I can find a full size 9mm BDE (preferably with the longer barrel)?I have looked around a bit but was unable to find a place online with any in stock.

  The Baby Eagle magazines and barrels can be fit to EAA/Tanfoglio pistols. Both are clones of the CZ 75 I believe. I have toyed with buying a longer threaded and rifled barrel for my .45. The parts can be found on the Tanfoglio website.

  Looks a lot like the Tanfoglio/CZ/EAA pistols. Are any parts interchangeable?

  Just an FYI for you guys, Perseus145 made a request to place the Jericho 941 on the website. That has been done and you can find it listed in the Charles Daly pistol section.

  The trigger spring reinstall was simple, I just needed a view of how it went. Here is something I found useful, a schematic view of a CZ-75 (clone).

  I need to reinstall the trigger spring. Can someone post a pic of the spring (with slide off and looking down)? Does anyone know where to get an exploded view of the BDE full size?

  I have used EAA .45 magazines with good results. They were the 10 round version. Easier to find than the Magnum Research ones. Good Luck!

  I had to send my BDE .45 to Magnum Research because it kept jamming on me. It kept getting worse; 1 or 2 rounds every magazine.

  I have had my BDE .40 for about 6 years now and the only problems witht the pistol was when other people fired it. I have had no FTF or FTE problems with the gun. It is by far my favorite gun to shoot and own.
