Does buying a .44 Desert Eagle and not the .50 AE make you a bitch?
Want to get one but not the .50 AE since it's $1.50/round.
>>28017017
IMO 50. African eliminator deagle or get out.
You want 44. find a used automag or get a revolver.

You'd think so, but the fireball is still pretty impressive.
To me, getting a deagle in anything but .50AE is going around what made the deagle special to begin with but it doesn't make you a bitch.
>>28017017
Just get a 50ae and .44 barel
>>28017069
>>28017039
>>28017037
this unless you are getting the whole component system package which has all the conversions for the other calibers then its ok I suppose but really its not like 44 or 357mag are much cheaper than 50AE.
Protip: The 24k gold finish looks nice but gets scratched to shit with actual use.
>>28017099
>anything but stainless
Only for pimps and wannabe special forces senpai.
>>28017069
But deagles weren't even chambered in .50AE when they first came out, just .44 I believe. The .50AE came later.
>>28017099
So the $400 .44 barrel isn't a simple swap? Or are you talking about a barrel package?
.44 is a bit more practical due to having less recoil which is another draw over the .50 AE despite 44s also being a dollar less per round.
I got a .44 magnum Deagle because it's cheaper to shoot, but I'm planing on buying a .50 AE barrel later for the lulz
>>28017143
Do you open carry it?
I'm planning to OC it if I buy one.
>>28017123
this is what I am referring to

>>28017123
.44 and .50 are just a barrel and mag swap as they use the same bolt face and recoil spring assembly. .357 uses a different bolt face and recoil spring assembly though, so swapping to that or back is a bit more complicated.
>>28017156
I figured that's what you meant.
>>28017143
Are there any noteworthy differences (AKA reliability) with the Israeli made guns?
>>28017017
Like everyone else said unless you plan on getting a .50 barrel it's like buying a .22 ar. Sure you're saving money but deep down you know it's not right, and everyone who knows will judge you for not getting the right caliber.
>>28017121
.357 Magnum was the original chambering when the pistol was being developed from 1980-1982. The .44 Magnum chambering was offered by 1986, and .41 Magnum in 1987. The .50 AE didn't appear until 1996.
Here is a photo of an early Desert Eagle Mark I in .357 Magnum circa 1984.
>>28017153
No way, it weighs 5 pounds loaded.
>>28017185
So, while extraordinarily impractical, it's possible.
>>28017168
Not really, the American Deagles are just as reliable. I had a few jams with my IWI deagle, but that was during break in.
>>28017017
I don't think so. I bought mine in .44 first. If you want, all you need to upgrade a MkXIX .44 to .50AE is a barrel and magazine. The swap takes about 5 seconds.
>>28017278
I'm leaning towards the .44.
I was at Dick's playing with their .50 AE DEagle and this really attractive girl gave me this blush and a smile while I was holding it that prompted this entire thread. Not sure how that scenario would unfold if she found out it was only the .44.
>>28017121
The first Desert Eagles were in .357 Magnum. Same frame as the current version, but with a less massive slide and barrel. These went into regular production in 1985.
The .44 Magnum model came out in 1987 and used a slightly larger slide and barrel on the same frame. There was also a .41 Magnum version that used the .44 Magnum slide.
The .50AE model came out in 1991. In 1994, .357 and .44 Magnum were standardized to use the .50 slide and .41 Magnum was dropped.
>>28017123
It is a simple swap. .44 Magnum and .50AE have the same case rim, so they can use the same bolt. Swapping calibers is a mag and barrel change which takes seconds.
>>28017297
As I said, I bought the .44 Magnum version, I think in 2007. A couple of years later I got the .50AE barrel. In 2012 I said "what the hell" and bought the .357 barrel and bolt.
I won't lie, .50AE is stout. Out of the same length barrel, it is close to .454 Casull power. I can handle about two mags before I lose the ability to properly control the recoil. Empty cases stop flying ten feet over my right shoulder and start hitting me in the face.
.44 Magnum is more controllable and is fine for an extended shooting session. It feels about like .45acp+p out of a 1911.
.357 Magnum turns the Deagle into a pleasant plinker. Still loud with plenty of muzzle flash, but otherwise like 9mm out of a full size semiautomatic.
If I'm honest, I like shooting my .357 Magnum Deagle more than my .50AE. PMC and Herter's .357 Magnum can regularly be had for $20 per 50 at Cabela's and they both function perfectly through my Mark VII. The weight and operation of the Desert Eagle also makes shooting .357 Magnum like shooting standard 9mm through any standard sized sidearm.
>>28017386
I do 100 rounds per range session. The more I shoot the better I get.
>>28017297
She knows you are compensating for your little weewee.
I wonder how many rounds of 7.62 tok a Deagle could hold
>>28017178
>>28017178
now thats a pretty gun. 1st gen DE were 80s as fuck. The only thing that would make it perfect would be the fuckhuge laser from Terminator.
>>28017017
>Does buying a .44 Desert Eagle and not the .50 AE make you a bitch?
No, but caring about the Internet's opinion does.
>>28019290
B-But the internet told me girls didn't care...
I bought the 50AE for novelty's sake.
The 44mag is a hell of a lot more practical, but the 50AE is just... Cool
No, buying the 44mag does not make you a bitch, but I will call you a faggot anyways, faggot.
>>28017081
The real answer.
I bought a 44mag deagle brand deagle yesterday,I love it. I open carried it today,it felt like pic related
>>28017017
.44 mag is a gentleman's round with a long heritage and proven track record.
.50ae is a clown caliber for try hards that won't do anything. 44 won't.
i've always been curious, is it possible to get a levergun in .50 AE.? since its a flat nosed round, its probably not practical, but hey, neither is the deagle in most situations
>>28023409
You do realize unless it is a very rare perpendicular mag fed lever gun all lever gun rounds are flat nose...
What is a tube mag...
OP as someone who is a 44 mag nut I could not own a deagle 44. Not when revolvers shooting my same reloads were so much more pleasant to shoot. If you want a deagle get a 50 just to say you got one. If you want to shoot and enjoy 44mag, get a fevolver.
>>28017017
Think of it like getting a 1911 in something other than .45
You CAN do it and it doesn't really matter what anybody else thinks about your purchase as long as you are happy with it.
But if you want "range cool points" then stick with the go to caliber.
If you want the cool factor of the Degale you need the .50
Meh. I have a .357 for cheap shooting and .50 for kebab removal. Do I need .44 too?
>357 is the most """practical""" and lowers the weight tremendously, and is super easy to shoot with the weight of the Deagle
>44 is also comfy, kicks hard and looks cool
>50 because cawadooty
>>28023467
i've seen a lot of .22 lever guns, those rounds are round nosed, rather than flat. but thats just arguing semantics. just wondering if its possible, or would .50 be to unwieldy in its dimensions
>>28023564
.22 is rim fire... sigh. I feel like I am talking to a child.
Think about your statement.
Is it possible to have "non-flat" or implied pointy nosed centerfire cartridges in a tube mag.
>>28023594
you never implied that it had to be centerfire or rimfire, all you said was "All Lever gun rounds are flat nose" beyond that, some old .30-30 lever actions had pointed rounds, i believe one of the reasons hornady released their lever evolution rounds was to help mitigate the rare chance of the nose of a round striking the primer of the round in front of it. pic related. it is possible to have a non flat cartridge in a tube mag.
>>28023594
You are a massive fucking faggot
>>28023564
45-70 lever action rifles work just fine, i see absolutely no reason why .50AE couldn't work as well besides the lack of rimmed brass for it.
>>28023696
Your logic is weak.
30-30 is round or flat nosed. The Hornady round is a modern solution to an age old problem. A plastic tip does not make it a Spitzer bullet, but rather mimics the attributes of a Spitzer.
>>28023594
The M-141 used spitzer bullets in a tube mag.
>>28023809
Still gets back to the your point, where you said all lever guns are in flat nose, but rounded and pointed, even if its a plastic tip, still exist. again. just semantics, and an argument on the internet that doesn't mean anything to anyone.
>>28023852
The OP made it so that rounded or flat bullets could not be in a lever. I explained how 90% of all common tube fed levers we know and love are indeed flat or round and everyone shits a brick because of rim fire and mock spitzers made out of plastic in the last 10 years.
Never change /k/... hear hooves and /k/ thinks Slavic striped surplus donkeys
>>28017039
>>28023409
A pump gun in 500 s&w exists (predator tactical something something), as well as a levergun (big horn armory).
Tube mags prefer rimmed rounds.
>>28023496
what does your heart say, anon?
