Something else you don't see everyday.
Desert Eagle 50cal.
Not for me but I can appreciate a fine weapon when I see one. Even when they weigh as much as my head. It felt pretty good in the hand, I just couldn't lift my arm.
If I was made of money I would be tempted, just to carry it in the open and watch leftist faces turn purple with anger.

Now that's a BBQ gun. Iffen I was a bit, ok a lot richer I'd give that a home in a heart beat.

Not only richer but have a set of hips that could handle that weight.
Definitely not a pocket pistol.

You can pack a lot on a wheelchair, it's a rolling weight, kind of like a dry heat.

Have a friend that carried one for years, concealed. It can be done. He has serious health problems, and cannot exercise. Carried it well.
I wouldn't carry one due to action type and lack of cocked and locked, but he pulled it off. He's used it a few times also....apparently it has a solid track record of ending criminal behavior without the need of a trigger pull.

Lack of cocked and locked? I thought Desert Eagles were single action? Pretty sure they are.

They are strictly a novelty gun. Far to heavy for carry. I think Cartels like them for intimidation factor.
I had one for awhile, very cool looking, not practical in any way and far to expensive to shoot. I had several barrels and caliber options for mine [I bought it cheap/ due to owner wanting to dump it].

Good way to look at it..."intimidation factor." I'd say it'd have that. LOL. Yes, single action, but no cocked and locked ability. So hammer down till one needs to fire, then thumb cocking. Huge thing, very heavy, ammo crazy expensive, but whatever a person wants.

Why is that? I've shot a buddy's DE and the safety can be operated with the hammer cocked.
