Shooting the .50 desert eagle

[foxtrott]

Hi ,just come back from las vagas, and miami.
I've shot allsorts over the years but I've always wanted to try some big calibre hand guns. I booked a pistol package at strip gun range in vagas,it was awesome brilliant place and there very professional. I chose the .50 desert eagle the .44 magnum super hawk,9mm suppressed glock with red dot and a bare 9mm glock. It was a gun enthusiasts dream .everything you can imagine to choose from.The magum was awesome got some good groups with it,the glocks are really easy to shoot .The desert eagle was intimidating just to look at and felt like being punched by eddie hall lol

I went down the machine gun route, Uzi, MP5, Mac 10, MP40 and STG44 and finished up with a MG42 and an M60.... It cost the equivalent of an FX Impact by the time I had finished

Sounds brilliant, especially with the cruise... I also went for the wife's 50th two years ago as a nostalgia trip as she used to work in a casino in Vegas when she was 20....

Surreal place Vegas, but great fun for a party

The .50 DE is a right handfull in both grip girth & recoil if the loads are hot, and what's not to like about a Glock - sounds like a good do to me Daz, and one to scratch off the bucket list

That's a very good use of time,,, I would be smiling ear to ear and I don't normally smile!
That gun rack looks like a dream come true.

Thats awesome pal yeah it's unreal ,you can tell people about vagas but it needs to be experienced for yourself. Everything is massssssive . We did cart zilla and slot zilla aswell, unbelievable

 

[Kettlebell]

Fantastic experience.

Hate Glocks, sorry!

Love DEs tho’ shot a mates in Slovenia quite a few years ago. .44mag with trigger job and sympathetic reloads.
2nd Nicest handgun I have ever shot. Best was a .38sp competition revolver built around a 686 chassis back in the 90s.

A guy at the club has a DE50. It’s worth a chuckle just to watch him miss!

The .44 magnum is so easy to shoot by comparison

The Desert Eagke 50ae was one of the first pistols I ever shot over here......and one of the last
I did my work experience as a teenager in the early 90's at one of my local rfds and on the last day we went out the back to their testing pit where they fired guns thay had been repaired to check them out.
From what I remember the grip was huge, you could only shoot jacketed bullets as it's a gas op, and it felt very awkward.
Fun and I'm glad I got to shoot one but probably not the best option for a lot of things.

Tasty
