    My first experience with Desert Eagle was 2015 when I reviewed the first stainless steel Desert Eagle with integral comp and I became a fan right away. I bought the test sample when I was done with the review.
    Nice video man.

    Hey, just wanna add something here concerning the part where you weigh the pistols. (I don't know if this was corrected at any point in the video, because I stopped it at 2:30 to make this comment.) That's not "4.59" and "3.12" lbs. That's 4 lbs, 5.9 oz and 3 lbs, 11.2 oz. That means there's actually less than one pound difference between the two, according to your scale.

    Hornady .50 300 grain fully loaded bullet. Sells at $1.40 per round. Other manufacturers of a 660-700 grain fully loaded .50 sells for between $2.99-$6.99 a round. That's way off from $140.00 per round. Heck a single fully loaded JDJ .950 round. Sells for $40.00. Yet the Nitro .700 fully loaded single 1,000 grain round sells for $73.00.00-$125-$250.00. 2,000Feet per second with 8,900LBS of muzzle energy.

    • @texasbeast239
      @texasbeast239 3 роки тому

      How positively does your safety engage and release? If it engages very tightly, and only releases with a determined press and with a snap and a mechanical click, then you may be all right to carry cocked and with a round chambered.
      But I have a Tanfoglio with a somewhat mushy safety. There are times when I draw the weapon or pick it up, and the safety has disengaged on me without me knowing it prior. It's too light. I would not be comfortable carrying cocked, at all.

Out in the jungle, it would get so dark that I could not see ANYTHING. Nothing. Black and no adjustment going on in my eyeballs. Funny, how I thought nothing about what may be crawling around. I was only concerned if Charles was slithering nearby. People from Haiti can see in the dark.

    Hey guys. i've got a question. are you able to carry this type of weapons everyday freely on the streets? for self defense or something like that? i mean, shit is a 50cal pistol if you shoot it at a bandit you probably rip out one part of body and send it to fly. im talking without any knowledge about guns (more than the videogames an such can give me) and also im not living on USA or any country with easy access to guns so... yeah that was my question. also i love your channel BD1911 keep the good work.

      That's why I will go with a .44 version if I ever buy one. You can use a mag of lower-powered (but still very hot) criminal loads for EDC in town, or swap in a mag of full-powered critter loads for a trip to the woods.

      Desert eagles are known for that problem. When i first shot mine, i noticed when that it would successfully cycle more consistently when i didn't fight the recoil. So it should work better if you don't stiff arm it too much.

      That and don't put the cheapest ammo you can find through it. It won't cycle proper if you do that. I recommend reading the manual, which states exactly what kind of ammo the Deagle prefers.

    Just over 3 and a half pounds? Too heavy to carry. If it was just under 3 and half pounds though. Hehehe....

    That pistol failed to go into battery with every shot and you were holding it properly. I think she needs some maintenance

    It's weird how the L5 .357 has all kinds of cutouts and fluting to help save weight, but the L6 does not. I guess the big cartridge called for a stronger slide and they couldn't compromise it the same way?
    The Kahr website now claims 4lb6oz for the standard and 3lb7oz for the L6.
