I owned the OG Desert Eagle chambered in .44 Magnum. It was a 6 lb pistol that in my humble opinion ...seemed to be the ultimate outdoors man's pistol. It just seemed to be indestructible and when we started plaing with load combos we finally settled on the a 180 JHP that was screaming out through the chrono @ 1750 ft per second. I shot one of the desert eagle loads in my S&W 629 and it barked with about a 4ft flame. Realizing that was probably lucky that didnt blow up my smith because I was running 320 gr 1250 per second on the SW&W 629. The eagle loads were extremely hot by comparison. ....You can run but you can't hide :)
@@Buck-kf6xq Yeah, reliability issues arise because of ammo selection. It's operating system doesn't allow you to feed it whatever you want like a Glock. However, these guns are supremely over-built and is beautifully made. I bought my Israeli made DE in .44 back in 1988 . I've fired several thousand rounds and it still works perfectly. That is, if I feed it what it wants. Hot ammo. The hotter the better. Whenever I've deviated from Magnum Research's recommended ammo or simply try to your average, garden variety 180 or 240 grain factory loads, the guns gas system will not cycle. At the start and through most of the 90s I used Israeli made Samson ammo and a particularly hot model of PMC cartridges. They worked perfectly. The Samson loads, I came to find out, were just about Buffalo Bore level, overpowered stuff before BB was even a thing. It's a literal hand cannon that's super accurate and super easy to shoot if you can manage the weight and size.
I love my Deagle...would I ever be dumb enough to carry it for self defense? NO....would I ever think to grab it from my safe in a SHTF situation over my other firearms....NO. Would it make it into my bugout bag..NO. Would I take it to the range for a fun shoot around day with the boys...EVERY DAMN TIME....
Adults enjoy video games too; just a few days ago, I was playing Red Dead Redemption II Online (RDO) with two of my great-grandchildren. I have also spent more than a few hours playing GTA: V, and Call of Duty online. BTW, I received my first license to carry 50 years ago.
I bought and still have one from 1983. It was ordered and took six months to get. Most of that time was setting in Customs. The first pallet of 44 magnums. Then I bought the 14 inch target barrel that cost almost as much as the gun.....
I have one of the earlier models in 44 mag. I took it to the range one day and strangers were coming up to me and asking about what I was shooting because they said it sounded like a cannon going off.
I adore my ol' 50AE. It came to me in a box from an unnamed gunsmith. I have since put an ashamed amount of 50AE down range. Not one malfunction. I baby it though, so that helps. I clean it every session, and diligently clean the gas ports on the barrel. NO CAST LEAD!!! Only Hornady XTPs, even with my reloads... Baby your Beast, and it will not fail. Abuse it, and it will be fail...
@@PeasantKing-od5lg There are many expensive guns that need to be babied. Many older collectible Single Action Colts need proper loads, and need to be well maintained to not damage the actions. Many collectible com-block weapons have been damaged from corrosive ammunitions and a lack cleaning. Many expensive 1911s can be a chore without a labor of love. MP5s need the rollers checked and bolt gap measured. Many delayed-rollers develop a bulge in the receiver if not maintained and fed a heavy diet of +P ammunition and/or running suppressors constantly. Thus, I do not run any suppressors on any of mine, and I use the softest loads the system can reliably feed on. Many firearms need to be babied in different ways. I can name more if you'd like. Desert Eagles are no exception. They need to be lubricated, cleaned, and fed proper ammunition to function 100%. That is especially true for the .357 and .44 variants. With the rimmed cartridges, they can rim-lock if not loaded correctly. Not every firearm can be used and abused without consequence. They are all machines. Some break easier than others. Some of the toughest can fail with mistreatment. Few more examples: M1 Garands can be damaged with modern 30-06 loads. Many get aftermarket adjustable gas-ports to run modern loads. Collectible WWII rifles from many countries with war-time bluing can develop surface rust if not oiled. Smith&Wesson X-Frame revolvers have a tendency of being damaged from people slamming the cylinder home, or spin-flicking them. I've seen more than one that needed to be fixed, in different ways.
A friend of mine had one of these back in the late 80s and I shot it a bunch of times. It was fun to shoot, but I never found it to be very comfortable to hold. Never had that issue with any other pistol that I’ve shot.
Wow a MK VII.....A real keeper.....rare as unicorns and in pristine condition... I have looked for one of those down here in Australia for the last 25 years and never found one. I own four DE's all up. All Mk XIX's, one is an Israeli IMI with fluted barrel and one built by Magnum Research before they were acquired by Kahr Arms in Burnt Bronze....really nice.. My newer DE:s are SRMB's with the integral breaks. All the others are brushed chrome plated or fully stainless. I have been shooting this platform since 1989. I shoot target and metallic silhouette comps with it out to 100 yards with and without a red dot and it is a very accurate firearm when handled correctly. It is still to me one of the most iconic semi automatic firearms in the world.....period.
Hickok, I don't know about you but I bought a Mark I .357 a few years ago as a result of an ill-considered bargain with a buddy that involved buying one if I ever saw one for sale below a certain price. Woe was me when shortly thereafter we spotted one in a Cabela's used stock. Once I shot the thing, however, it changed my mind; the most powerful Magnum rounds I could find were like midrange loads. If it wasn't for the fact that I'd have to borrow your thumb to get the safety off one-handed, I'd carry it just for the "Holy cow!" factor... 🙂
I sold a couple of these monsters back in the late 80's or early 90's before "Slick-Willie and the Brady Bunch" came after my mom & pop FFL. Very well made novelty gun, but as you noted WAY too heavy. Another novelty gun I wish I DID still own was a AMT 50AE. I shot it about 50 times after receiving it and found it hard to handle due to the short grips. I have gorilla hands with frankfurter fingers. I contacted AMT about an extended magazine but they couldn't help me. Funny thing is, I decided to sell that 50AE and shortly there after they announced extended magazine for all their designs. I think I only paid like $350 for that thing new. Their are pretty valuable now!
I carried a 50cal when I went hiking.. I think over kill and the bish KICKED!! So I traded in for the 44mag, I love it!!! Bear stopper, crazy person stopper too 😉 😊❤
Had an L5 in .50AE and it could not get through 100rnds without the piston breaking. After the 3rd piston breakage (300rnds approx) I had a machinist make a custom piston for me from a "super high strength" metal and it seemed to then 'work'. Would I buy again? No.
I had one of the first generation in 357 mag. It was a fun pistol, but it really didn't like to cycle lighter grain bullets. Ran all day with heavier loads. Ended up training it for an AMT AUTOMAG III. Still have that one.
They'll do fine with 125grn, they just hate light loads. From memory, I was running 16grn of Herc Blue Dot under 125grn for around 1650fps. Not compressed but as far as I wanted to go, and not a load I'd be happy with in most pistols.
You wouldn't have an 80s action movie without a chrome plated Desert Eagle, ideally dual wielded. Those metal targets must be heavy. Even they're barely moving being hit by those big .44 Mag bullets. The video game weight heaviness was lol.
I had my wife buy the S&W Sport II before the 2020 election. It was between that and the Ruger AR. Both great. Never had an issue. But, I would have bought, or she would have, The Zion also. No regrets. Just saying. Cheers from Iowa.
It’s interesting to compare a DE with an M1 Carbine. Both weigh about the same amount and shoot similar cartridges in terms of energy. Both have mixed reputations in terms of reliability, find a good one before you trust it. Yes DE can be holstered, at least for show. But so can the M1A1 with a folding stock, at least for show. I’m pretty sure if I was expecting trouble and these were my only two options I’d take the carbine. At least double the ammo and I stand a much better chance of hitting what I’m shooting at. If I wasn’t expecting trouble idk why I would carry either over any number of other pistols.
Yep. They like those in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area. I got carjacked leaving work one night by a Guy with one. Didn't take much convincing for me to hand over the keys. PS: The dude was such an idiot that he crashed my care into a fence on the edge of the parking lot. I had ran back into work to have them call 911, and somebody came in less than a minute later and told me what happened. Turned out the damage was minor and the guy ran off with my car still running and the passenger door open. (He was blocked in on the drivers side.) So, in spite of the seriousness of the situation (The perp originally was trying to take a co-woker hostage when I came along), after I saw the result, I have to admit that I was all 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can we get a video from your prospective on the new Smith & Wesson M&P Carry Comp all metal? I always find your reviews so insightful and interesting to watch.
I have a mark VII also. Shoots reliably too. By the way, just wondering what your bracelet represents. My wife said that she noticed it in other videos as well.
I have owed a total of six DE's: 3 44 mags, 2 357 mags and 1 41 rem mags. Still have 2 of the 44 mags and the 41 rem mag. I'd say the 41 is the one I like the most. They are a cool range toy or a hunting pistol for something that most probably won't kill you if you miss or wound it.
I've never owned one of these, but I have gotten to play with a couple, though both were in .50. They seem to run well. I suppose if you were in grizzly country or hunting African game, they would work. Heavy though. Not sure I'd want to carry one over distance.
i think it's misunderstood cause most people don't spot the niches it fits in. bear countrys, sure makes sense. but if looking at how home defence plays out in israel this adds another point. just recapture what happened last year, that was a threat ever since. a reason why settlements in such areas are mostly enclosed and having own militia for protection. those calibers are able to be still lethal even if someone is hiding behind a wall or door. that is a different breed of bears to deal with in israel. yes it replaces a large caliber revolver and adds the option to reload faster, might be softer to shoot and offers better target hold in 357 and 44 in such a scenario. then it might replace the M1 carbine as well, a very popular choice for home defence at that period and still today. a handgun simply does a better job in shooting around corners, but then mostly missing a powerful cartige the M1 actually has in comparsion. deagle is in between those and i still wonder why they never made a double stack 20 round .30 carbine version.
I believe he said they were called Talon grips and he had to trim them from a larger Glock frame size. That talent does not make any specifically for Desert Eagle.
@@CJ4S147 Thank you. I am considering removing the factory grips to see where they can be trimmed/sanded down to fit my hand better. The.44 isn't hard to shoot, and I love having that much power when I'm out on the tundra picking berries in Southwest Alaska where I live.
Much to like, though not for everyone. My biggest issue with the ten is it is said to throw the brass into the next county. Not great for older reloaders with sore backs.
Same in France, took all the Grand Pa' 22lr and 32.acp they could , still asking citizen to bring their family fire arms or relics, even black powder one or knives only to have drug violence going crazy with black market 9mm & 7.62... At least now the dealers and gangs can protect themselves from regular citizens i guess.
I love your video presentations and have watched them for several years but my main complaint is that when those small long distance targets (to include the gong) are engaged the camera tends to stay focused on the shooter rather than being zoomed out to watch the impacts on the targets. Watching the shooter being rocked by recoil just isn't as entertaining as seeing the various targets being knocked around by the bullet strikes.
I have shot them in 357 (pussycat) 44 which is controllable and 50 which I realised I could double tap! I hear they make them in 41 mag but never seen one!

The Desert Eagle was developed because nobody, and I mean nobody, could get the .44 AutoMag to function correctly.
It was developed in 357 magnum and then later offered in 44 and 41 magnum

The desert eagle is a GREAT Gun to rent at the range - BEFORE you consider buying one! Lots of fun when it’s not yours to troubleshoot or clean..
Funny about the Mother in Law
What is that grip-tape on the pistol?! Really want to know. I have a .44 Deagle and need that tape please.
I believe he said they were called Talon grips and he had to trim them from a larger Glock frame size. That talent does not make any specifically for Desert Eagle.
@@CJ4S147 Thank you. I am considering removing the factory grips to see where they can be trimmed/sanded down to fit my hand better. The.44 isn't hard to shoot, and I love having that much power when I'm out on the tundra picking berries in Southwest Alaska where I live.
@@jeanettewestI hope you never need it but lay the skimmer handle on em if you do 😂. If I actually needed 44mag a deagle would be tempting.
This does not look 1080p. What's up?
It's a clip from 14 years ago
10mm is the most powerful, practical, semi auto, you can actually carry.
Much to like, though not for everyone. My biggest issue with the ten is it is said to throw the brass into the next county. Not great for older reloaders with sore backs.
Never cared for th 10mm, I carry 45 acp kimber 1911 maybe I old fashion lol
Owned a 357 and a 44. Sold both.
I had frame number 809 in .357 mag. police confiscated it in the UKs 1997 handgun ban. We still have plenty of gun crime in the UK though.
Same in France, took all the Grand Pa' 22lr and 32.acp they could , still asking citizen to bring their family fire arms or relics, even black powder one or knives only to have drug violence going crazy with black market 9mm & 7.62... At least now the dealers and gangs can protect themselves from regular citizens i guess.
Funny how gun control seems to only work like that
Tell those cicadas to shush it!!!
My dad, who is a championship shooter, sold his as soon as he fired it.
That good, huh?
No, that useless
😅 nice shirt ser 👌
I love your video presentations and have watched them for several years but my main complaint is that when those small long distance targets (to include the gong) are engaged the camera tends to stay focused on the shooter rather than being zoomed out to watch the impacts on the targets. Watching the shooter being rocked by recoil just isn't as entertaining as seeing the various targets being knocked around by the bullet strikes.
Hickok45, please make a new video with Mark VII 44 Magnum Desert Eagle. This is my favorite model of my favorite firearm.
I have shot them in 357 (pussycat) 44 which is controllable and 50 which I realised I could double tap! I hear they make them in 41 mag but never seen one!
Disappointed that this isn’t the .50 AE. Seems kinda pointless to have a DE in revolver calibers.
Try it with the 14” barrel. Don’t forget the tripod.
Because what use is a genetically enhanced soldier if he can't use bigger guns?
Love your videos!! I don't comment much because the man might be watching. Peaceful Sunday my friend.
War Hammer
What ever happened to the Baby Eagle??.
Damn you must be a giant. Gun looks small with you.
is this an old video?
I have a Mark VII. Made in Israel. I had mine matte nickle plated.
Turn down the cicadas the video would be perfect.
He's got the BIG iron on his hip. Had one in .44 Magnum but sold it..just didn't like it. I'm more a revolver person.
Its not that diffecult to design a rimless cartridge in 44mag
pocket gun
