Thoughts on the .44 Magnum Desert Eagle?
gsd:
Still have that Glock in 10:)
GreyGeek:
When I was in graduate school .44 magnum revolvers with 12" barrels were all the rage in the shooting mags. A fellow student bought one. On the range, on his first shot, the recoil broke his wrist. A week later, on the range again, he broke the wrist in his left hand attempting to shoot it.
Two times, two limp wrists.
He never said another thing about that .44. Three or four years later the movie "Dirty Harry" came out.

I didn't realize how unwieldy the Desert Eagle is, but so many reviews are on the .50 AE model so maybe the .44 isn't as bad? I would definitely have to try one before buying though, I'd hate to spend that much on a pistol and not be able to use it for the intended practical purpose.

I am not 100% positive, but, I am pretty sure the .50 and .44 use the same frame as its a fairly modular design/system.
I would assume the .50 would have heavier recoil, but wouldn't be willing to wager on it.

I'd sell one of my kids for one of those. Maybe even 2. :)
