IMI Baby Eagle and CZ-75 - same grips?

[rhenriksen]

I'm thinking about a laser for my wife's Baby Eagle, compact, steel frame pistol. Crimson Trace officially doesn't offer anything for this make/model.

BUT... isn't it just a clone of the CZ? Are the grips interchangeable between the compact CZ-75 and a Baby Eagle?

While not as pleasing as AR-24 the grips of Baby Eagle fit small to medium hands better then CZ75. I do not believe the grips are interchangeable.

The IMI Baby Eagle is mechanically similar ('inspired by'...), but is not a true clone. The grips will not interchange.

The IMI Baby Eagle is however, a clone of the EAA Witness, aka, the Tangfolio Force, aka the TZ-75, aka the RIA MAPP line, aka, awww, well, just about any small frame Tangfolio pistol (there are dozens of brands out there - all the same thing.

I believe there are more Tangfolio pattern clones out there than the Cz-75 pattern that inspired it.

My understanding was that the first run was assembled from parts from the Tangfoglio factory, and then they set up the IMI line in Isreal

I looked into this myself - I read posts from google on various forums that claimed CZ grips would fit the 9mm and 40 version, but not the 45 version...

I plan to get one in 45 and would like rubber grips for it. But, I haven't had much luck..

^ if you get it in .45, your options for grips are pretty slim. It comes with the nice plastic pebble finish grips, and you can get a hogue wraparound grip to fit on it, but that's about it.

Yes, I looked into that recently. And, the wrap arounds are the ONLY other option I could find as well
