Didn't have a reason when I bought it. Still don't.

But now I can be that guy at the range. Hooray!

Early MKI Desert Eagle with lots of extras


I had thought about getting one in the past and had a list of excuses as to why I didn't want one.
Found one that crossed off every excuse...well, the ones that counted, anways
Wasn't too expensive...only $800, but it came with the original MKI slide, a MKXIX conversion slide, the original .44 MKI barrel, a MKXIX .44 barrel, and a MK XIX .50ae barrel. Thats three barrels and an extra slide
I already reload for .44, so the two .44 barrels killed the "expensive ammo" excuse,
and I had the money at the time.

Already have the .50ae brass on the way, the reloading dies and shellplate have already arrived

And my GF is from Minneapolis, so when she saw "Minneapolis" on the slide, that's all it took to have her blessings, lol

Dang but this thing is....big.

A friend of mine had one in .44 Mag. (bright chrome plated; man that thing was BBQ Bling), and it truly was a pussycat to shoot! We always had a great (though somewhat expensive), time shooting it!

Did it come with the little red wagon to carry it in?

 

[Demi-human]

Mine cost twice as much, and came with a third of the barrels...

I have 53% more rail space though.

As far as reason goes, that’s easy...

Recoil Therapy!

It helps with my Well Being and stress relief.

Don't get discouraged. Takes a while to shoot it without it locking up. The least bit of limp wrist, or give, while the recoil springs are working, and it's
loading a new round, and you're locked up. The DE44 was the first pistol I started shooting bulls-eyes with. The DE will cycle like a champ, if you do your job.
And be sure to let the mag hang. If you brace it with your left hand, it will cause a feed jam.

A lot of fun to shoot. Enjoy.

"Why in the HELL, did you buy a Desert Eagle?"

"*Why?*..... Because - Desert Eagle!"

Sometimes, excess is juuuuuust about enough.

That is a most excellent hideout gun. Now you have a reason to buy a nice hideout!

You "need" somewhere between one and maybe four handguns. The rest are just for fun.

You lost me there....

 

[Pat Riot]

Every once in a while ya gotta say “What the heck” and have a little fun.

 

[GarrettJ]

That's an excellent price for everything you got!

You didn’t mention if you got any, but you will want .50 caliber mags for shooting that caliber.

You probably know not to shoot lead bullets through it, as they will clog the gas system. Stick with JSP or JHP.

And since you reload, H-110 makes for great fireballs!

 

[sparkyv]

Yup, you got a great deal.

I like this

Just looking at it is reason enough to have it, but shoot it and enjoy.

Not necessary. That full size D.E rides great in an ankle holster I bet. Solid backup gun for social occasions when someone might see your bazooka printing through your clothes.
