The Desert Eagle is simply an impressive handgun; if one wanted it for handgun hunting, silhouette matches,

or just desired it for what it is, more power to you! There is nothing like the famed Desert Eagle. What a gun!

Blued finish (although cheapest) rusts easily so a smart idea is one of the custom finished guns as seen below.

Hammer is cocked to the rear, safety is on. Slide-mounted lever is moved up to fire with two stage trigger.

Top of barrel is designed for mounting rings and optics directly to it, maximizing consistency of shooting.

Titanium Carbon Nitiride Desert Eagles is another variation of the custom finished Israeli semiauto magnums.

TCN: a tough finish, refreshingly different in a gunmetal-pewter color. Retail $2,070.  Advance order $1,895.

       

Titanium Gold Nitride Tiger Stripe finish, in .50 Action Express. Retail $2,070.  Advance order price $1,895.

For impressive firearms collections or for hitting steel silhouettes at distance, a .50AE Desert Eagle does it well.

The current (as of 2008) tiger stripe pattern; they no longer have as detailed tiger striping like pictures above.

Another example of a beautiful Desert Eagle, in Bright Nickel finish. Retail $1,838.  Advance order, $1,720.

(As a comparison, a plain blued (and easily rusted) Desert Eagle retails at $1,563. Advance order, $1,460.)

(The advance order price difference of $260 for a beautiful and functional finish is well worth the cost.)
