Desert Eagle opinions....

I've shot 300+ rounds out of mine and there isn't even a hint of a scratch. It's an amazingly tough finish. I'll be using mine for an IPSC match this year. Can't wait.

Well, it's the preferred gun of all them shoot-em -up actioh flick movie producers!
Gotta use something that looks REEL EEVUL for the folks.

heres some of mine....the finish is SICKKK! ive only put 10 through it so far in the month ive had it...but no problems to report

I find the DE too heavy and too big. It does not have nearly enough accuracy to justify it's ridiculous price. Money better spent on a revolver, or maybe a "pistol" AR Just my .02

I got a DE..in .44 mag....love it .and I fine that not all peole have the same taste.....my only regret is that I should of bought the gold finished one ...Dame that's nice .....but other than the odd jam.....who cares I love it ..............the look on other peoples faces when you stand next and shoot .....PRICELESS.......DESERT EAGLE.....ALL THE WAY ...BABY!!!!!!!

Hey Chris, with a gun like that, is this what you drive?

Hey Chris, with a gun like that, is this what you drive?

sorry man thats a little too flashy...with any luck (and a few years of OJT and training...) this'll be my ride...

and if training takes even LONGERRRR.....:

thanks for the concern though

That's wicked Chris. Would the Canadian Forces let you take the DE with you in the cockpit? It would be awesome to pull out the DE .50AE if you get shot down. Those insurgents would sh!t bricks. LOL

On a serious note what does the CF give you as a cockpit gun?

 

[chrisward3]

you only get a sidearm when you deploy, and im not 100% sure but itd probably either be the Sig225 or the Browning. That said, ill be doing everything i can to have my G22 tucked safely on one side, my DE on the other, and my G27 on my ankle....and maybe a few others...in case of emergency...lol

 

[Mercury0_0]

This is what I'd take. Plus a whole bunch of extra mags.

Mostly a movie gun, but still fun to shoot if you use a powder like WW-296 to make lots of muzzle flash. Big, heavy, and for the price and prestige, the trigger is the ####s, and a piece such as this should come with an adjustable rear sight.........really, and too many failures to feed for my praise. I prefer my M-29 much more, so I sold the big bird.

I've never had any issues in reliability with mine with ME firing it. Holding the gun properly will eliminate the jamming problems.

As for reloading for it, if you use max loads (in the 50AE) it will perform flawlessly. Cast bullets should not be used in a Desert Eagle pistol as someone suggested (buying a mould) as it will clog it up.

As for buying a Desert Eagle in 357 magnum, would you buy a Mustang with a 4 cylinder engine?

The 50 AE Desert Eagle is what it is, a huge powerful (extremely fun) semi-auto handgun!
