Here is where the problem arose. I knew for a fact that IMI made the Desert Eagle. You were sure that the Baby Eagle was made by Tanfoglio. Magnum Research lists the Desert Eagle and the Baby Eagle as theirs. I believe through an admittedly hap-hazard search that Magnum Research is the Distributor and possibly the designer of one or both in the U.S.. That's what caused the problem. Anyway, IMI doesn't need our influence. They are a formidable firearms industry on their own.
Magnum Research is a company founded by an engineer from Wisconsin (or some other North-West state), and IMI produced the Desert Eagle as part of a joint venture. The Baby Eagle that we are talking about is a smaller gun using the same technology as the Desert Eagle. As I understand it, Magnum Research sells the Baby Eagle, and IMI calls it “Jericho.” Tangoglio is an Italian company that has a connection to EAA Witness, but the EAA Witness handguns are nothing like the Desert Eagle or the Baby Eagle. Although a Desert Eagle or a Baby Eagle may look similar to 1911 style guns on the outside, the design on the inside is completely different.
