I am so glad I bought this hand cannon when it was available! My kids and I must've fired 100 rounds through it and had no problems whatsoever. It was 6 degrees in East Tennessee when we took it out to shoot, and we shot mostly frozen watermelons with it. The bullets zipped through them like they were going through paper. While it's a lot of fun to shoot, the costs can add up, and the bullets are usually hard to find. This gun has it all: power, accuracy, and smooth operation. It is a bit heavy and the grip is large, so that's something to take into consideration if you plan on carrying it in the field. My hand fits it and I'm able to fire it one-handed, so I have no complaints. However, some might find it too heavy or cumbersome to lug around. I certainly prefer to carry it in a shoulder rig versus on the hip, because it would drag my pants down. I wouldn't use it for home defense because of over-penetration issues, but I do carry it with me on the mountain in case I encounter a wild boar or people with bad intentions. It's a good defense weapon for bears, but we only have black bears here and I don't anticipate ever having problems with them. If I was in grizzly country, I'd settle on this handgun over any of the others I own. It holds 8 rounds (7 in the mag and 1 in the chamber), which is 3 rounds more than my .500 Smith and Wesson, and the Desert Eagle recoils much less. It's also a lot faster to reload the Desert Eagle versus the .500 revolver. In a second you could have 7 more rounds at your disposal. I absolutely love this pistol! I don't know why I waited so long to buy one.

I have many guns of many calibers, but this 50 AE Desert Eagle is the king of them all when it comes to fun. I have never had so much fun shooting a gun, as I have had with this 50 AE Desert Eagle. I have had no problems with jamming and the recoil is not as bad as I was expecting. As long as you hold the gun as stated in the instruction manual you will be fine. This was gun is awesome.

Great price and service as always from Bud's. Delivered to my FFL in a few days. No issues and a fun gun to shoot.

The handgun came quickly and in perfect condition. The Desert Eagle is much lighter than I thought. I have huge hands so gripping it was no problem at all. I inspected the Desert Eagle before accepting it as Bud's recommends all customers. I will look forward to doing more business with Bud's in the future. I got inspired to buy one from watching Hickok45 videos.

Well, after a Lonnggg time wanting one of these, I finally pulled the trigger on it (no pun intended). It was sooo worth the wait! I did my research and as many of you who are sitting on the fence on whether to take the plunge or not, all I can honestly tell you is "Do It" !! You will not be disappointed. This weapon is a finely tuned instrument that can yield tight groups right out of the box. I'm not going to sit here and tell you that this gun is not massive and heavy...because it is. And that's unloaded. It absolutely has to be in order to tame some of the recoil that not only comes from the muzzle blast but also from the slide ejecting the spent casing and replacing it with a fresh round. I'm a large man with large mitts and absolutely love the recoil. I also own a 4" S&W 500 Magnum that has massive recoil when using 500 Grain ammo and up but the grip on it is smaller than the DE 50AE. The grip on the Desert Eagle 50AE is not for everyone. Before you buy one, try one at your local dealer just to make sure its going to be something that'll work for you. I can honestly say that I am thrilled to own the most powerful Production Pistol and Revolver as of today. Get off that fence and start enjoying that darn Deagle. The sooner the better.

All I can say is this gun is a beast and its built like a tank and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone in the market for a 50AE.

Since I was ten, I had wanted a Desert Eagle chambered in the venerable (and quite literally potent, .50AE). Handgun arrived quickly, and was promptly taken to my local indoor range (after a proper cleaning and lubing) due to the cold temps. 20 rounds of Federal Fusion 300 gr. were fired with one FTF (I limp-wristed it, so user error), as well as another 20 rounds of Hornady 300 gr. XTP with ZERO malfunctions. So all the internet myth admins need to learn to shoot before they make poor accusations. Furthermore, this gun is so accurate! The smiles on everyone's faces was well-worth the money when they all wanted to know what was causing all the noise! Already in the process of getting another one in a different finish... the Desert Eagle is a legend, and if you're contemplating buying one, now is the time to do so! Highly recommend for the fun meter. *EDIT* I recommend buying a set of Tipton polymer cleaning picks for this one; the gas system causes it to get very fouled. Those will aid in proper maintenance!

This purchase was for my second Desert Eagle 50ae. I really like this gun. I have added a Hogue Fg Rubber Grip and the gun shoots flawlessly.

I went to pick up my Dessert Eagle today from my FFLD and man this Pistol is Truly a BEAST! Considering it took 12 day to get to me It was well worth the wait. I have yet to fire it but, am looking forward to it. This pistol is awesome. The biggest pistol I have ever owned. I have ordered pistols from buds before but, this one is the biggest so far. This pistol is truly one to be reckoned with. Thank Again budsgunshop! You People Rock!

FREAKING AWESOME!!! Buds was fast and cheap as usual. The only con to this is they only give you 1 magazine, but at $1.20-$2 a round its probably best they only give you 1 mag. When I picked it up from my dealer, the smile of jealousy on his face told me I made a good purchase. Very, very happy customer.

Desert eagle .50AE is a great gun, and buds had the best price I could find. They shipped extremely fast, and were a pleasure to deal with. The gun shots great a lot less kick than I was expecting. This is a gun I always wanted and am thrilled that I finally bought, although it is very expensive to shot.

Ordered this on a Monday and got a call from the FFL on Wednesday. Quick service and no outwardly apparent cosmetic issues with the handgun. I have not had a chance to take this to the range due to inclement weather, but I will update my review when I have the opportunity. Thanks Buds.

This thing is an absolute beast. If your thinking about buying one then just do it. Recoil is not as bad as people say. Ive shot it one handed with no problems. Buds shipping was great. Paid for it on Friday and got it at my FFL on Monday. Cant beat that.

Ok so not the most practical handgun on the market, but damn, few things come close to how much fun this gun is to shoot. Ammo is rather pricey and she mostly is a safe queen but I would never sell her. It's just a blast to use the once or twice a month she comes out. Great deal with Buds (cheapest I've seen) If your on the fence..... Go for it. You won't regret it

This gun is very nice. Magnum Research did a wonderful job with this American Made muscle of a gun. I didn't give it 5 stars because Buds SHIPPING was VERY VERY SLOW. I probably will do more business though due to the lower prices on most items.

Magnum Research did an absolutely awesome job designing this gun. VERY comfortable to shoot with great accuracy.....and yes, massive destruction, heh. Fantastic muzzle flash which may not be so helpful at night...or maybe so, no night shooting as of yet. Great gun though! Definitely recommended.

This thing is huge!!! Pretty sweet if you ask me. Took it out to the range put about 50 dollars of ammo through it! It doesn't kick as much as I was expecting but it does kick quite a bit more than a 45 that's for sure. Received the gun and the hammer was chipped a little. Wrote to Magnum Research and they sent me out a new hammer asap. I didn't really like that it was like that right out of the box, but it did teach me how to completely dismantle the gun, including dismantling the hammer assembly. I would recommend to anyone thinking about getting a handgun to consider this one if you have the cash.. Might as well get one before someone attempts to ban this caliber. "MADE IN ISREAL" Bad @$$!!!!!
