Oops...new gun

**Poacher** · February 18th, 2010, 12:01 AM

So I walk into a gun store...I'm not going to buy anything, just check'n stuff out. I ask to look at a handgun, then another,and then another, then oops, I pay for and walk out with a 9mm Baby Eagle and a box of shells. Anyway, this was yesterday and I've sent its first fifty rounds down range. If the gun keeps shooting like it has for the first fifty I'm in love with it. Any way I just picked up another 100 rounds and can't wait for a another day at the range...hopefully my wife will let me move back into the bedroom by then.
Anybody else have a Desert Eagle? Do you like it? Or do you think this is a Hollywood picture gun only..?

I don't have any DE guns, but I've had the .50 on my list for a long time now. I love the look of all the Desert Eagles... right down to the Micro Eagle.

I wouldn't worry about the wife... guns historically have much better resale value than wives if the need to get rid of one of them arises.

HA! That's one way of looking at it. So far I love how this gun is shooting. I've noticed though that Hollywood seems to have a love affair with the DE, since I don't have much respect for there opinion on guns, I thought I'd look for DE fans on the PAFOA.

Have any pictures? Never seen a Baby Eagle myself.

A sharp looking piece to be sure!

Got one in .40 and 9mm, they're a very nice piece of equpiment. I have never had a malfunction with either. The bigger DE are pretty nice too got it in a .44 magnum. The baby desert eagles are the most practical and IMO shoot just as good as a Glock. They may not take AS much of a beating as a Glock but they're a very sound gun that I like to shoot on a regular basis.

My P345 was acquired that way, & my Guardian came home with me after shopping for a revolver for my wife LOL (she got the revolver that day as well so I still get to sleep in the bed
