Customer Reviews for Magnum Research Desert Eagle 8+1 .44 MAG 6"

Five stars placed my order on Monday arrived at my FFL on Thursday of the same week. took it out to the range today and fired 100 rounds of Magtech 240 grain sjsp and it ran 100% could not be happier. Thanks Buds!

The Desert Eagle is a novelty at best. It’s a fun canon to pull out at the range, and everyone wants to fire it once, and only once. I bought it in .44 and added a .50 AE barrel later. With the compensator installed it feels like the .44. This is by no means a defensive gun. Personally I would get the S&W 500 due to the reliability and accuracy. Whatever you do, do not buy 3rd party magazines for this thing, otherwise expect more than the usual ftf issues. And keep it wet. It may sound like I’m putting it down, but I really enjoy the DE. I bought it knowing of it’s issues. I’m a collector and it was something I always wanted after firing the mark VII years before buying the XIX. This was the first gun I bought from Buds and they are extremely easy to work with and have a great selection.

Jammed at least once per magazine,and the action would stay open about a 1/8 inch once new round was cycled.

Great price and service from Bud's which is why I'll always purchase here first. Amazing pistol and extermely accurate too. As long as you know what to feed your Desert Eagle, it will be reliable. This is not my first Desert Eagle, but it is the first one in this finish. Processing took about 7 business days but was shipped to my dealer after that day as promised.
