    You get that used from a shop or through PPT? There's currently only one IMI model on the DOJ list I see.

    I used to have the 9mm version. Great gun. I can't find parts for it anywhere either. Looks like you'll have to go through the manufacture. Not a common gun.

      Try here http://www.eaacorp.com/ (Tanfoglio is the manufacturer for EAA Witness and IMI Jericho, parts like barrels and magazines should be interchangable; call the parts department to be sure though).

            Isn't Baby Eagle and the Jericho the same? I thought the Baby Eagle designation was only used in the US.

                Jericho is the name when KBI imported them. When Magnum Research imported the guns, they called it the Baby Eagle. Mossberg also imported them briefly and called it the Uzi Eagle.

                  SO... Who's selling one?? Just kidding I just picked up a compact .40 polymer because it was the only one I could find. Polymers don't seem to be too popular on here though. Anyone know the reason? Just preference?

                      Slide mounted decocker safety is the original configuration. My Jericho is from 1990, and has it.

                        Hi, I have a .40 3.7" barrel Baby Eagle. Could you tell me what part number you ordered for the 9mm barrel and how exactly you modified it?

                        The all steel construction adds mass and its more classic. I like it better than polymer version.

                          I never modified mine. Mine was a factory 9mm version. If you wanted to modify yours to a .40, you'd be looking at a different slide and barrel, which probably'd be super expensive through the manufacture, wouldn't hurt to call MR of course to inquire. The receiver I'd imagine would be the same.

                            they made the 41ae so you would just need a barrel swap

                              41ae has a rebated rim, so the extractor size is the same as a 9mm.
