Glocks / 1911 / 92 / Desert Eagle

The .50AE Desert Eagle is NOTHING like a .357. I have a .357 revolver and to me, with .357 ammo, not .38 special, it kicks a bit more than a 9mm. The Desert Eagle kicks harder than that. .357 are toys to play with and fire, and I love mine, but a .50AE has more kick. Mind you, feeding the .357 costs less, but I didn't buy the big Eagle for any sort of practicality whatsoever. I don't care how much it costs. Yes, it's big and heavy. Yes, for me, it has no real use whatsoever. Yes, ammo's expensive. But it puts a smile on my face every time I fire it, and to me, that's all I need. to justify owning it.

You should try a Tokarev TT-33. It's very exciting when they jam shut with a round in the chamber. Then you get to play an exciting guessing game called "Is that a live round stuck in there, or just a casing?"

Then, after you fix that problem, it fires a few more rounds and then you notice the extractor is gone. Now you have Russian paperweight.

Is gun for real man!
 
if you want your first gun to be a 45 then the 1911 is your best bet
although the DE is an interesting gun I would have never picked it as my first

-Ammo cost is huge
-Finding ammo is very hard
-it is not a good gun to learn the basics on

This is all true above.

However, to the OP, it's your dough so spend it on whatever floats yer boat....lol...

My personal assessment on what you tried out....

Glocks.... Don't care for the Models 20 or 21, too big & clubby for me. Love the G22, G17, G19, etc. Have shot thousands of rounds thru G22's.

1911's..... been 'into' them for ~ 30 years. Have easily owned > 100 differents ones in that time. Lots of Colts & lots of USGI's amongst them. Still have a few, including Norcs. Never had a lemon with any Norc 1911 I've owned. The 1911 fits me well & I can also shoot it well. Like 'em in .22lr, .38 Super, 9mm, 10mm, and of course the venerable .45ACP. Have shot thousands of rounds thru 1911's.

Beretta 92.... have owned a few over the years right from the early 92S with the Euro mag release up to the current 92 series. Shot well for me but grip is a bit too clubby. These days my double stack 9mm pistola is a Browning Hi-Power MkIII. Much prefer that or the CZ 75/85 series over the Beretta 92's. That said, have toyed with the idea of getting one of the new Girsan Beretta clones. No other reason that 'just because' though. Have shot thousands of rounds through double stack 9mm pistols.... Beretta, CZ, BHP, S&W, etc.

Desert Eagle.... nope. No use for one.
