<1badassmagnum>just got back from shooting...AWESOME!
the rounds I loaded last night using starline brass,cci 350 primers,30 grains of hodgdon 4227 powder,and speer 325 grain bullets worked flawlessly.unbelieveable,I felt like a chick at a peep show,everyone outside the range looking through the glass thinking what kind of maniac is this lol.
nothing but nothing gets the attention a desert eagle gets.the factory speer gold dots I fired were earth shattering.after firing the first round I set the de down and stood there shaking for a good 5 minutes.much more recoil than my friends 40 de.if anyone's looking for a nice christmas gift,give your friends a gift certificate for an hour at the range and throw in an hour with the de.
hats off to magnum research on a fine piece of work !

<1badassmagnum>I'm glad I'm at the shooting end of this hand cannon lol.
the violent blast of a desert eagle is sweet music after you realize how much firepower you have in your hand.(although I didnt realize it till after shooting it)
maybe arnold WOULD look better toting a 22 deringer.
laundry mat,very funny.

NitromanYup, the .50 is the only firearm (any) from which I almost got a nosebleed.
The beachball sized fireball is simply stunning.
