Desert Eagle Megathread…

[DW357]

Four-month bump. How's that Eagle been treating you?

So far so good! It’s been about a month or so since I last shot it. I get an occasional FTE/FTF which I can live with since it’s a range toy.

Soooo is this because you have not had time, or you quickly realized how a DE mag dump cost you about $6 bucks each and you are now broke ??

Whew, I saw this thread pop up and thought Andrew blew up another gun…

Lol. No it’s just action shooting season so I’m shooting a lot more matches. A DE is slightly different than my CZ SP-01 Shadow

A mag dump costs me like $1.80 lol. I stacked powder, primers and bullets deep long before Rona

Let’s hope that never happens. Though it seems MR has excellent customer service. I’d just be out a lot of money

Took me up until just last month to find some ammo for my fathers. Hoping to have it out soon haha

Brought it out today just for you!
Shot some detergent jugs and steel.
My 180 gr XTP reloads are devastating

I had a hot piece of brass manage to land on my bicep. Ouch! Left a little red spot but I think I’ll live…

Thank you -- poors like me are adventuring vicariously through you.

Do you find the Desert Eagle to be the mildest shooting .44 magnum you've ever fired?

 

[Picton]

Do you find the Desert Eagle to be the mildest shooting .44 magnum you've ever fired?

I did!

.50 was really flippy in mine, but .44 was tame.

 

[gerrycaruso]

I found the Desert Eagle in .50 to be more unpleasant to shoot than my .500 S&W. In .44 magnum, the Desert Eagle was very pleasant to shoot even with full power jacketed loads.

Do you find the Desert Eagle to be the mildest shooting .44 magnum you've ever fired?

I’d say it’s just slightly milder than shooting my 10 inch Dan Wesson 44 mag revolver.
I will say I have some rounds loaded up with Vihtavouri N110 powder and holy crap is that soft shooting. I can rip shots off fast with those loads. Not so much with my H110 loads

I found @Rocco Mozz ’s DE 50 to be approaching slightly unpleasant to shoot. But we were shooting some VERY warm ammo.

I enjoy shooting this bad boy offhand on occasion. Is a DE bigger and heavier than this 10" DW?

[BrunoN]

Never shot a .50 but I find the .44 pleasant for what it is as well. The weight really soaks up the recoil.

Too late to talk you out of it, but:

Too late to talk you out of it, but:

I can confirm that my wiener has shrunken in size, at least a few inches, since I haven't shot my Deagle in a few months! Once I shoot my DE this month it should be back to full strength.

Your hand looks very soft. Which hand moisturizer do you use?

Cosmoline of course

Talk about leaving the gate wide open..... Self induced male semen ??

 

[Picton]

Talk about leaving the gate wide open..... Self induced male semen ??

...as opposed to female semen?

Sheesh.

Sheesh.

Sound like you don't want to Google that.
Jus' sayin'...

I've been passing over this one. Here goes:

It's a dumb gun, in a dumb caliber for anywhere in the lower 48 states.

Edit: That should read 49 states.

 

[gerrycaruso]

There is no denying that the Desert Eagle is a large handgun but for those who love the .44 magnum, you won't find a softer shooting one.

Your entitled to your opinion. Too bad you have to wake up everyday angry. Just go away and troll a different thread.

Why is it a dumb gun?
Why is it a dumb caliber?

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not.

The only dumb caliber is .40, that is a fact.

Go have fun shooting your Hi-points.

It was always a dumb gun. (Although fun to shoot, when someone else owns it, lol) .44 magnum on the other hand, not so much. Useful for real pin shoots and all kimds of intermediate hunting.
