New Desert Eagle quality issues

[TheJuggernaut]

Yes they did redo the site but ordered mine from them a month or two back.

Got a bunch of parts and the grips.

Emailing them is the best way to go.

Just an FYI for anyone in the same boat, this is totally true. Emailed them and they have them in stock and will ship to Canada, just need to order over phone/email

Show me a Desert Eagle that can cycle more than 100 rounds of ANY ammo and I'll show you the exception and not the rule

There's nothing wrong with the guns. It's all limpwristing. Some people that are big and strong think they aren't limpwristing but they are.

my 50 has never had a FTF. Fired well over a couple thousand rounds now.

people think desert eagles are crap cause they can't handle this gun well and get many ftf or fte also maybe cause they dont clean it well... shot a .44 never had a single issue. cant wait to be able to afford mine..

Told you so Glad it worked out for you, the MRI folks are very helpful.

Yup, thanks again!

With regards to the antis, I believe the only men who can dislike the Deagle are those who dislike guns in general or have never actually tried one, recycling opinions.

Took it to the range last weekend, was only planning to do a mag or two but I couldn't stop... 40 rounds, zero issues, infinity awesome! (quick sample in the 2nd half)

Wait... isn't it gas operated? Wouldn't that make limpwriting far less of a factor?

Once the piston leaves the chamber it's still only Sir Isaac in the driver's seat, so if you let your wrist eat up too much of the momentum, it could malfunction.

If the cases are coming out and going over your head or just over your right shoulder then you are limpwristing the gun. It has an incredible amount of torque to the left as well as muzzle rise. The cases should be landing 5/6 feet to your right and 10/11 feet back.

I love my "Fat Chick"!

I've owned an older IMI (1994) .44 mag for about two years now. I only shoot factory jacketed soft points out of it. Never a FTF/FTE.

However, you've got to keep the fat girl clean and well lubricated up, feed her good ammo and hold on to her with authority!

As mentioned, fun gun to shoot, in .44 not that bad to feed and very accurate. My .44 recoils like a pussy cat, smooth and not harsh at all.

Once I save up some more play money, I am going to buy a new one, in .50 probably Ti gold, or Ti Tiger Stripe!

I've got a number of other pistols, but the DE sure puts a big ole' grin on the face of anyone that shoots it.

"GO FOR IT"!
