Well, The Israeli Special Forces use the Desert Eagle as their primary infiltration weapon. Even 120lb women. Must be a decent gun I would think...
Depends on what you look for in a gun. It got its start made by IMI, so Isayeret is buying locally at least... and if you're standing 7 feet away from someone you desperately need to put a big hole in, you're probably not going to be worried about a gritty trigger, a coarse sight picture, unmanageable recoil, muzzle flash that takes away your night vision and an ear-splitting report.
I'm not often in that position, so it's just a big glorified hammer to me. After a box full of ammunition and a satisfied grin about how much big bang you just made, you get brought down to earth by the fact you've just stretched out your ligaments for a grouping you can get from an autoloading shotgun with slugs.
