Cool!

I wanted to send back my Desert Eagle to get refinished, since the bluing is worn on some spots. I think I've found the color I want!

 

[Zeke Menuar]

Man, that is one heckuva doorstop. Spendy too.

Ah, the gun that my pal Marko calls the "Mustard Eagle."

 

[Standing Wolf]

If it doesn't have fake mother of pearl grips, it's not a real pimp gun.

Standing Wolf: Thus the masculinity issues part...

So the question that needs to be asked:

Any of you folks in this thread ever shoot a Desert Eagle? (Just curious, the majority of people who badmouth them have never even owned one...)

Putting my money where my masculinity is:

 

[10-Ring]

A buddy of mine got one early this year & we were both pleasantly surprised at how tame it was to shoot...much much easier than its persona would imply
As for the picture, it looks like Saddam is trying to raise some $$ by selling some of his old inventory

Lol... where can I get an extra gold plated mag??

 

[RON in PA]

I actually shot one like that. The kick was tolerable, but the muzzle flip was awsome as well as the blast. A guy at the range had just bought one(used) and was letting fellow shooters have a shot each. I did tease him about the finish. Yeech!

 

[45R]

I've shot a DE. That "Big Black Bird" is alot of fun!!!! .44Mag is fun fun.

I think ti would look good nickel plated or whatever silvery finish that matches the shine of Ti Nitride, and have Ti-Nitride accents and pearl grips, but I think a plain Ti-Nitride and those black grips just don't work.

A matte frame and HC slide with CF grips would be

 

[Preacherman]

Can you just imagine that thing with mother-of-pearl grips? Talk about a San Francisco barbeque gun...

 

[Hellbore]

I would love to have that gun just for fun! Doesn't anyone else think it would be a blast shooting cinder blocks and other targets with such a huge bullet, and such a big gun that tames those hot loads?

I dunno, I think it would be a lot of fun... A lot of people badmouth Desert Eagles, but if you can afford to buy one in addition to your carry gun, just for fun, why not? I can't though...

 

[learnedmonkey]

Funny...I remember titanium looking more like aluminum than rust, and I inhaled enough titanium dust on one summer job to remember the stuff fairly clearly...but I supposed if they called that the "rust finish", it wouldn't sell as well...

 

[Monkeyleg]

I'd guess the reason the gun hasn't sold is that Uday Hussein is dead.
