Desert Eagle

Yes mine looks and feels smaller compared to the massive Mk XIX



How do you like the 6.5 inch barrel on that 500

Love the 6.5 inch barrel. The balance is great.

Kinda like midget hookers- fun for the night but the novelty wears off.

I had a BRAND NEW tu-tone DESERT EAGLE 357 MAGNUM, until my friend force me to trade it to him for a used H & K P7M13 9MM with 3 mags

Doesn't sound like a very good friend. Unless your really happy with the trade. And happiness is what counts. I can't think of any thing I would trade it for. I really doubt I will ever sell it. Plus I think my boy would not be to happy about it. All my guns will be his someday. I have some cool stuff to hand down.

Here's my de next to my 500. Best money I ever spent.

Where did you get the compensator for your DE and who did the work?

Hey! Thats how I met my wife!

It came like that.

After reading this thread I called a buddy who has a DE in 50 stainless. I bought a box of ammo (ouch) and went to the range just to see if I was wrong about these pieces and maybe should have kept mine. I now remember why I sold it. The midget hooker thing plays into it. Big, clunky and just not all that fun after 2 mags. Enjoy them if you will, I just don't.
That compensated piece up thread looks pretty cool.

Any markings on it to indicate who made it?

I paid a bit more than that as it was an impulse thing. More like $35 after uncle got his. I know it is cheaper on line but it was a now or never thing.
Gun is OK just not for me.
I do kinda like that compensated stainless piece though.

I was just giving you the "business" since I know you shoot 45. All in fun. $35 is actually cheap for a local pickup ...

I am sure they were glad to sell me the box as they had it for a long time.
I love the business when I can get it...................

I have had mine in 44 for about 15 years now. Accuracy is ok and mine shoots very high. But it is a blast to shoot. I have found that I have to use full house loads to keep it reliable. Anything less means some dealing with jamming. With a decent two handed grip it is reliable and easy to shoot. One lady that went with us one day nearly single handly shut down the range at Jasper-Pulaski. She was safe and after about 3 rounds she had nearly everyones attention!

Something I forgot to mention in my first post was build quality of the gun. With that high price tag comes a phenomenal firearm.

The trigger is excellent and accuracy is outstanding in my experience.

My trigger has just a little creep. The trigger is adjustable so I am not worried about it. I am going to put some more rounds threw it before I adjust it. It sure is pretty and it's fun. So that makes it pretty fun No regrets.

Trigger is a bit creepy but it has a good release and it resets the same place everytime.

If you do buy one, you have to slick your hair back and wear a black suit and tie with sun glasses like Agent Smith...

 

[Jason91887]

I have shot one in .44mag and loved it, but I don't think I would ever buy one, it just seems too expensive/gimmicky to me. There are much cheaper/more fun options out there.

 

[tgallmey]

agreed

With what?

 

[Compuvette]

I've owned a couple over the years. 357 and 44 mag. They pretty much require full-power magnum rounds or they won't cycle. They are fun to shoot and own, just not a real practical reason to own one. Get one because you want it, not because you think you need it for something.
