All I can say is that I would love to own a desert eagle...
For one box of ammunition. They seem to be one of the most bought and resold pistols around... they're not accurate at all, even the baby eagle is punishing (I've never actually shot the 50 Action Express version, but I've held one - like holding a 1911 plus a big can of beans in the same hand) and if you're looking to go down to a Mk VII in .44 Mag, you can get a better pistol for a lower price...
The Duke Nukem/Tom Clancy games and various movies glorify them but they're really no fun to shoot on a regular basis.
On the revolver side, there's the S&W Model 500 - people gather around it at the range, but no one ever wants to shoot more than a round or two out of it. After the first shot I took with one... even with a light load and holding it Chapman hold... I kept thumbing it for the second shot, so I just unloaded it and handed it back. No sense wasting a shot.
Again, my opinion...
Bren R.
