I purchased a slightly used Mark XIX off of a fellow nutter a short while ago and haven't had a chance to shoot it, so today I snuck away and was able to blast off a few rounds (20) and I must say, I owned a 44 in the all to common black hawk and it sure walloped, this sucker is so much fun it had me chuckling the entire time! well after the heavily anticipated first shot any way, and I must say the weight sure reacts positively with the recoil of the 44 it is a very cool and HUGE shooter!! loads of fun, now I think I will get me a 50 for it and see how that is??? one buddy from work told me he thought the 44 had a bigger wallop than the 50 round or at least felt recoil?? any body wanna chime in who has shot both? it seems only logical the 50 would punch you harder but having never shot that round I don't know??
 
I had a DE44, it's a cool gun to shoot no argue on this, however, sold it because I did not had the same high recoil as my S&W 629..., that's a Bang!!!!!
You might want to look at this option.

If you still have your DE44, you know you can just buy a 50 barrell and mags?, the DE44 platform is the same as the DE50.....
 
Yes I have looked into it and was actually shocked at how cheap I can get a barrel and a mag for, I haven't pulled the pin cause freedom adventures had the barrel but no mags in 50 so I am on the waiting list
 
When I opened the box after it arrived, I was expecting a large frame but it made me laugh when I seen how big these are, to rack the slide almost takes both friggin hands, I need a hand coming out the centre of my chest to hold it while I rack it hahaha not really that bad but HUGE for sure
 
Congrats on the DE. I recently bought one and it is a ton of fun to shoot. Had some factory rounds, plus some hand loads through it trying to find the best combination. Think I need to take it our for some more "load testing" ;) ;)
 
The 50 wins the recoil contest for sure. While not uncontrollable, there is a definite increase in whump when you hit the bang stick :dancingbanana: .

Shop around a bit for mags. I had the 50 and got the 44 from FV. Called a few of the dealers on here and found mags for both calibers.

(E) :cool:
