there is a certain family resemblance...

 

[jocko]

yes they both have a barrel and a trigger???other than that the eagle is "BUTT UGLY". the kt is just ugly with no butt.

 

[casual]

if i don't care about the look of a gun, I'll get a Kel-Tec (still significantly better looking than the micro)

no contest

just take a look at Mach2's post above - all you need to know

by the way, i think the lcp is a decent looking gun - like kel tec, but a little more refined looking

i plan to purchase an lcp as soon as i'm confident that Ruger has worked out the kinks

I'll keep my P3AT, its lighter even with the crimson trace laser attached.

But you could store the Micro Eagle in the grip panels of your Desert Eagle!

 

[SwampWolf]

If the Micro has a significantly better trigger pull than most other "pocket pistols" (i.e., the LCP, the NNA Guardian, the Keltec 3A-T, the Seecamp, et al) I might get interested. Otherwise, well, it is kind of homely looking...

Should have started a new division called Desert Canary

Haha, very good indeed

 

[6_gunner]

I actually kinda like it. I definitely don't like it $500 worth, though. If it was $200 or $300 I'd probably get one.

It appears to have a steel frame, rather than the polymer frame of the similar pocket pistols that are available these days. That would be a big plus for me. Maybe I'm too traditional, but guns that are half plastic just don't appeal to me.

It's not shown on the Magnum Research web site. I wonder if it's actually in production or just vapor ware.

That is actually a ZVI Kevin. You can look it up at their web page. How come Magnum Research can market it as if they have created I don't understand... They should have mentioned where they have cloned it or something...

So far the only handgun Magnum Research actually makes is the BFR. Everything else they just "borrowed" from another manufacturer.

Local big gun store says they will have ten coming in for their big promo, taking orders now.
Meh, that's probably double what it's worth cost-wise.

 

[CPshooter]

Do these pistols have a good/bad reputation? How wide are they?

 

[Bobo]

Is there something more gay than a peewee pistol named "Kevin"?

 

[skeptiq]

Wow, the canary has to be a re-tool... They are way too similar... no intrest here in getting either. They are really cute though.

 

[doglb]

Well I got to handle one the other day and must say that it feels pretty good in the hand. Its light and the point of aim seems very natural. I have no idea how they shoot, wish I did-overall it fits into a pocket pretty easy. To bad the price tag is way over budget for a .380-another downfall only one mag???

Would be curious in the overall performance, its not to bad on the eyes-
but thats just my opinion!

 

[evan price]

According to ZVi they also make it in 9mm Makarov. Wonder why Deagles are not coming with that as an option? Should be a bit more pop that 9mm Kurz.

 

[Gunsby_Blazen]

so, is this the same thing as that Kel-Tec and that Ruger LCP??

is everyone going to make one now????

 

[Vectrexer]

I have confirmation directly from Jan Gottfried at ZVI stating the KEVIN is being soldin in the US by Magnum Research as the Micro Desert Eagle.

 

[evan price]

I held the microDeagle in my hand today at the gunstore I mentioned above. You can LITERALLY see on the left grip panel where the ZVI logo was machined off of the plastic grip panel. There is a blank rectangle there towards the bottom that has a clearly visible milling machine track running around in it- right where the ZVI logo is on the non-imported guns... They didn't even bother making new grips.

Heavy little gun, and the trigger pull was about 500 pounds or so. Not my kind of gun, even for a micro-compact.

Yes, but with a trigger job, a new Wolff spring, the pull would be a smooth, safe, 450 pounds.
