micro desert eagle???

[smartshot]

Hello all, I recently purchased a Magnum research micro desert eagle in 380acp. Anyone have good and/or bad experiences with this? My logic was that I wanted to shoot +p ammo, and what better gun to do it with, than an all metal one, as most have the polymer nowadays......whatta ya think?

I think if you bought i for a sweet little pocket .380 to carry then you're going to like it a lot. If you bought it to shoot a lot then you are going to hate it. I have one and while I think it is a great little pocket gun it does kick like a mule and I found it fairly unpleasent to shoot. My little Sig 232 is much nicer. I did find the Micro Eagle to be very reliable and easy to conceal.

CZF has one, and he loves it.

It's a great little gun. I like mine.

Good reliable pistol but it's thicker, heavier and more painful to shoot than any of my other pocket 380s.

It is a blowback action which will always have more felt recoil than a locked breech action like the P-3AT style guns.

if you want a pocketable but still quite pleasant to shoot look no further than the SIG P238...shoots for me like a 22

It's brutal. Got rid of mine for a Kahr P380, a gun I can actually practice with.

I would think it's as heavy as my NAA Guardian 380...........like a brick in your pocket.

I would think it's as heavy as my NAA Guardian 380...........like a brick in your pocket.

The guardian is almost five ounces heavier than the Micro Desert Eagle.

The guardian has a steel frame and the Micro has an aluminum frame.

Five ounces is pretty significant difference in a pocket rocket.
