So 3 MP's were at the range last Sunday and one of them had a DE 50.
That thing was a single shot. Boom, tap it into battary, Boom tap, Boom tap. The slide locked back in the middle of the mag frequently also.
He let me put a mag through it and slide locked back first shot. I seen this before with my G21, thumb rides up in recoil and engages slide stop. Locked down the stonghand thumb with my support hand and boomboomboomboomboom, just not that fast!
That was my only malf that first one. I concluded that they were limp wristing the gun. They were blaming the mag. Its hard for a skinney guy to tell a strapping young MP that he was limp wristing it, but he was politely not hearing it. I'm very used to heavy 44 mag loads and I highly suspect he was used to shooting 9's!
Shooting heavy loads is more about proper form than it is brute strength, am I right?
Whaddaya DE owners think? Is limp wristing the pistol a big problem or are they just real tight when new and need broken in? I don't see how a bad mag would keep it from going into battary...
I'd be interested in hearing about any problems you all may have experianced with your DE's.
Overall, it was much more than I expected. I expected something compareable to a heavy 44 mag, seeing as how its more powerful but in a bigger heavier gas gun. I was wrong. Recoil's significantly more! I could feel it in my wrist after just 6 shots. I see no practical use for the gun that a smaller properly stoked 44 mag couldn't do. Not to mention the cost of ammo.! But it was a Blast to shoot 6 Times!!
