    In a way I'm kinda glad that they haven't been posting pictures lately as it saved me from going to their store and spending $ on new toys. ☺️

    Agreed. It is around the corner from work, but the endless construction makes it a pain, so ignorance is bliss.

    Does anyone here have any experience with, or opinions on the Desert Eagle .50 AE? I‘ve been considering buying one. At $3.00 per round, it probably won’t see too much use, but… I don’t have one yet.

    Shooting/ hunting partner #2 has one .
    Desert Eagles are well made , accurate , reliable pistols .

    .50 AE is a potent cartridge .
    If you can handle mainstream factory loads from a regular size .44 Mag , .50AE is no problem to handle .

    That said , the average Deagle owner , has one because they look cool in bad action movies and rap videos .

    It's BIG . It's expensive . It's BIG . Did I mention it's BIG ? I have XXXL hands , and it's a stretch for me .

    What's your philosophical approach to Big Bore pistol performance ? Specifically large Diameter wound channels vs Really Deep penetration ?

    The 325gr .50 has similar Sectional Density to the 240gr .44 . The quinestial .50AE load , the 325 Gold Dot will penetrate as a 240 JHP .44 , with 1/3 more Cross Sectional Area . A hard cast 300 gr plus .44 Mag , or 320 plus .45 at Ruger levels will penetrate Really Really Deep .

    The average Deagle owner will only shoot a half box of ammo , if they shoot it at all . If you will shoot it often , you will need to handload .

    I wouldn’t mind having one of those in .357 Mag if I can find it

    If you're looking for something big and unique, have you considered the Five-Seven? It cycles much more reliably, carries more ammo, is way lighter. Also much cheaper to shoot, though the ammo can be a bitch to find from time to time.

    Can't say for the 50, but I've got one in 44mag and another in 357mag. I enjoy both and considering the overall weight the felt recoil isn't too bad

    Yep get it, shoot it, reload for it and enjoy it.
    Managed to win a auction. 3 boxes of Speer Lawman...'Cheap" no where $3 PR.
    Its a pretty nice pistol to shoot, its heavy, it will fill your hand its big . But lots of fun, reload and shoot even more.Not that hard to reload for. Mine I bought "years" ago.
    No different than shooting the Contender pistol in the heavier rounds except it holds more. Personally like the big bore hand cannons.
