So, I've been on the hunt for an all-steel, larger-sized pistol, preferably in .40, as a range/home defense gun.

In searching gunbroker for some other offerings, I came across the Baby Eagle III...love at first sight!

My research since seems to confirm that it is a robust, reliable design with good reviews overall.

HOWEVER...further research also seems to show, however, that aftermarket support is meager. I was able to find a few suitable holsters, but the biggest issue is the apparent lack of support in the night sight market.

I know this topic has been raised before, but the pistol has now been out a bit longer and I was wondering if anyone knew of manufacturers that offer any such options. My Google attempts have come up with nothing so far....

One promising (unresearched) link is here:

I'm afraid it may not be all that promising. I believe that sight is for the older version of the Baby Eagle (pretty much identical to the Jericho)...if you look at other sights that supply those pistols with sights/grips, they specifically state that they DO NOT fit the BDE III. Unfortunately.

I have also contacted Magnum Research, and they report the same disappointing news...no aftermarket support for NS as of now.

I just bought a BE III and have been looking for night sights as well. While they aren’t truly night sights, Dawson Precision offers a nice fiber optic front sight.
