I adore my ol' 50AE. It came to me in a box from an unnamed gunsmith. I have since put an ashamed amount of 50AE down range. Not one malfunction. I baby it though, so that helps. I clean it every session, and diligently clean the gas ports on the barrel. NO CAST LEAD!!! Only Hornady XTPs, even with my reloads... Baby your Beast, and it will not fail. Abuse it, and it will be fail...

@PeasantKing-od5lg 15 дней назад

You shouldn’t have to baby at 2-3k dollar gun. That’s absolutely ridiculous.

@TheColosiss 14 дней назад

@@PeasantKing-od5lg There are many expensive guns that need to be babied. Many older collectible Single Action Colts need proper loads, and need to be well maintained to not damage the actions. Many collectible com-block weapons have been damaged from corrosive ammunitions and a lack cleaning. Many expensive 1911s can be a chore without a labor of love. MP5s need the rollers checked and bolt gap measured. Many delayed-rollers develop a bulge in the receiver if not maintained and fed a heavy diet of +P ammunition and/or running suppressors constantly. Thus, I do not run any suppressors on any of mine, and I use the softest loads the system can reliably feed on. Many firearms need to be babied in different ways. I can name more if you'd like. Desert Eagles are no exception. They need to be lubricated, cleaned, and fed proper ammunition to function 100%. That is especially true for the .357 and .44 variants. With the rimmed cartridges, they can rim-lock if not loaded correctly. Not every firearm can be used and abused without consequence. They are all machines. Some break easier than others. Some of the toughest can fail with mistreatment. Few more examples: M1 Garands can be damaged with modern 30-06 loads. Many get aftermarket adjustable gas-ports to run modern loads. Collectible WWII rifles from many countries with war-time bluing can develop surface rust if not oiled. Smith&Wesson X-Frame revolvers have a tendency of being damaged from people slamming the cylinder home, or spin-flicking them. I've seen more than one that needed to be fixed, in different ways.

@GSDjrbites 24 дня назад

I owned the OG Desert Eagle chambered in .44 Magnum. It was a 6 lb pistol that in my humble opinion ...seemed to be the ultimate outdoors man's pistol. It just seemed to be indestructible and when we started plaing with load combos we finally settled on the a 180 JHP that was screaming out through the chrono @ 1750 ft per second. I shot one of the desert eagle loads in my S&W 629 and it barked with about a 4ft flame. Realizing that was probably lucky that didnt blow up my smith because I was running 320 gr 1250 per second on the SW&W 629. The eagle loads were extremely hot by comparison. ....You can run but you can't hide :)

Hickok, I don't know about you but I bought a Mark I .357 a few years ago as a result of an ill-considered bargain with a buddy that involved buying one if I ever saw one for sale below a certain price. Woe was me when shortly thereafter we spotted one in a Cabela's used stock. Once I shot the thing, however, it changed my mind; the most powerful Magnum rounds I could find were like midrange loads. If it wasn't for the fact that I'd have to borrow your thumb to get the safety off one-handed, I'd carry it just for the "Holy cow!" factor... 🙂

My newer DE:s are SRMB's with the integral breaks. All the others are brushed chrome plated or fully stainless. I have been shooting this platform since 1989. I shoot target and metallic silhouette comps with it out to 100 yards with and without a red dot and it is a very accurate firearm when handled correctly. It is still to me one of the most iconic semi automatic firearms in the world.....period.

Very well made novelty gun, but as you noted WAY too heavy. Another novelty gun I wish I DID still own was a AMT 50AE. I shot it about 50 times after receiving it and found it hard to handle due to the short grips. I have gorilla hands with frankfurter fingers. I contacted AMT about an extended magazine but they couldn't help me. Funny thing is, I decided to sell that 50AE and shortly there after they announced extended magazine for all their designs. I think I only paid like $350 for that thing new. Their are pretty valuable now!

@JimmySailor 16 дней назад

It’s interesting to compare a DE with an M1 Carbine. Both weigh about the same amount and shoot similar cartridges in terms of energy. Both have mixed reputations in terms of reliability, find a good one before you trust it. Yes DE can be holstered, at least for show. But so can the M1A1 with a folding stock, at least for show. I’m pretty sure if I was expecting trouble and these were my only two options I’d take the carbine. At least double the ammo and I stand a much better chance of hitting what I’m shooting at. If I wasn’t expecting trouble idk why I would carry either over any number of other pistols.

They'll do fine with 125grn, they just hate light loads. From memory, I was running 16grn of Herc Blue Dot under 125grn for around 1650fps. Not compressed but as far as I wanted to go, and not a load I'd be happy with in most pistols.

@indica8510 25 дней назад

In my country yes it’s a toy not many people have more then 200 rounds experience shooting a hand gun let alone at a measurable form of accuracy. Some people can wipe out an entire towns worth of people with one gun and a backpack of ammunition even if it’s a .22. A semi automatic .22 in someone’s hands that can use it with 60 rounds of ammunition in two clips is capable of 40 - 50 kills at a range of 100 yards with open sights with modern high velocity cartridges the old boxes use to have lethal to a mile on them for a reason.

@Kodeekat 5 дней назад

Yep. They like those in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area. I got carjacked leaving work one night by a Guy with one. Didn't take much convincing for me to hand over the keys. PS: The dude was such an idiot that he crashed my care into a fence on the edge of the parking lot. I had ran back into work to have them call 911, and somebody came in less than a minute later and told me what happened. Turned out the damage was minor and the guy ran off with my car still running and the passenger door open. (He was blocked in on the drivers side.) So, in spite of the seriousness of the situation (The perp originally was trying to take a co-woker hostage when I came along), after I saw the result, I have to admit that I was all 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love your video presentations and have watched them for several years but my main complaint is that when those small long distance targets (to include the gong) are engaged the camera tends to stay focused on the shooter rather than being zoomed out to watch the impacts on the targets. Watching the shooter being rocked by recoil just isn't as entertaining as seeing the various targets being knocked around by the bullet strikes.

@tomlobos2871 20 дней назад

i think it's misunderstood cause most people don't spot the niches it fits in. bear countrys, sure makes sense. but if looking at how home defence plays out in israel this adds another point. just recapture what happened last year, that was a threat ever since. a reason why settlements in such areas are mostly enclosed and having own militia for protection. those calibers are able to be still lethal even if someone is hiding behind a wall or door. that is a different breed of bears to deal with in israel. yes it replaces a large caliber revolver and adds the option to reload faster, might be softer to shoot and offers better target hold in 357 and 44 in such a scenario. then it might replace the M1 carbine as well, a very popular choice for home defence at that period and still today. a handgun simply does a better job in shooting around corners, but then mostly missing a powerful cartige the M1 actually has in comparsion. deagle is in between those and i still wonder why they never made a double stack 20 round .30 carbine version.
