The Baby Eagle 9mm is also known as the Jericho abroad and back in Isreal...I got to shoot this a fair bit on some joint exercises and loved it as well.



Similar in grip design to the CZ 75 and successive models it is very comfortable but does not use the browning cam design and as a result can be fitted with a moderator and is very reliable. I also like the way the slide tracks inside the frame like the Sig design for greater accuracy.

The only problem with moderators on 9mm rounds is the size needed and how this impacts on balance and feel....for reasons such as this and also the quieter "crack" of a 9mm short or .32acp round...these are more commonly encountered in military "moderated" pistols...but again these are often way too muzzle heavy for good natural pointing...

Here are our old Wellrod designs which still get issued...



The top one is the Mk1 in .32acp and the bottom is the Mk2 in 9mm...single shot and big and cumbersome...they are none the less totally silenced. Re-cocking the pistol manually though is a slow process and re-affirms the point Dan made that accuracy is a final decider on effective use. But if used accurately a .32acp or a .380acp is just as effective as any other round....although for me I like the Ruger I posted earlier...compact and perfectly balanced...and even a .22 works very well if it hits what you aim at.
