Desert Eagle 50
I tried out a Desert Eagle 50 action express a while ago. Man, does that thing kick quite a bit. I used a 295 grain jacketed hollow point bullet, and it's quite accurate for a big semi auto. What do you others think about the Desert Eagle?

Never shot the big DE, but the Baby Eagles shoot great!

I've fired the .357 and .44 DE's, but not the .50ae.

nice pistols, wouldn't mind having one, but not a priority right now.

Fun to shoot. Recoil really isn't that bad. I have two 8" Colt Anacondas in 44 mag and the 50AE didn't seem to kick that much more. Maybe I was expecting alot more, I don't know. Sure is well made. The only issue for me is the grip size. I have small hands and use both on the Desert Eagle.

well, i got 2x gloves, so the grips feel tiny to me, man; i sure think that that desert eagle 50 action express was hard core recoil; of course i dont have much experience shooting handguns; maybe it's just the way i shoot it.
