I took a Dessert Eagle 50 AE, to the indoor range. When I started to shoot, I noticed all other firing had stopped. I looked around and everyone had stepped out of their shooting booth to see what the hell I was shooting, because it sounded like a cannon from the civil war 😂
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Dude, I've gotten similar looks whenever I fired my Desert Eagle .44 Magnum at the 2nd indoor range that I go to, as all the other shooters actually stepped out of their lanes to see what I was firing.
Same thing when I fired my S&W Model 29 😝
Same when I shot my nerf gun everyone was like wow what is he shooting
It’s funny cause I actually saw this happen at a range with a .50AE 😂
load that grape shot boy XD. Honestly, i have heard a 45 acp only once and it fucking sounds loud a s fuck
Honest is the word. I appreciate your straight-up reviews. Desert Eagle, $1,600 and decades in production, they should have all the bugs worked out by now. Unacceptable.
Yes i mean the coonan is more reliable.
The bugs are worked out. This gun design is for a 50AE, not .357 magnum. My 50 AE has never jammed.
@@zanenevada7327 Deadpool reference?
@@KingJames-go8pq which means they bugs are not worked out because they still produce a 357
I have a .357 model and shooting Magtech 357A ammo is pretty reliable. Occasionally the case gets caught in the side but not too often
Honest Outlaw, love your videos brotha!! I know your seeing this. Much love from a US Soldier currently deployed in the Middle East
thanks man we appreciate it!
Thank You Michael for your service!! You are appreciated!
Thanks for your service Michael, stay safe over there.
@Peter Angles What?
Thank you for your service Michael! Stay safe!
A few things to remember. The DE is a gas operated, rotating bolt action much like an AR. Underpowered ammo, especially .357 range ammo will not cycle the action correctly and .357 bullets were never designed to encounter a feed ramp.
If they couldn’t make it work, they shouldn’t have made it.
@@bly4233facts
Bro, we all know and it shouldn’t still be like this.
This. If you gonna buy a Deagle, buy a .44 Mag at least. It’s STILL pleasant enough to shoot, not nearly kick you to the curb like the .50 AE and as long as you hold it correctly and use the Weaver stance, reliable enough and isn’t nearly as sensitive to ammo as .357 Mag. So yeah, go for the .44 Mag instead.
@@StryderK does it work flawless? I would really like .44 Remington magnum version if it worked. It is a pity that nobody manufactures a working .357 magnum semiauto pistol. Metal alloys are not that expensive. You could literally make a whole pistol from some titanium alloy because it is cheap. No idea how hard it is to modern lathes on that small size. I work in factory that makes 155 mm ammos and lathes eat them few hundreds a day. You can even cut most titanium alloys with small goldsmith hand saw and file it with normal file before tempering.
I have the DE in 44 Mag with the muzzle brake. I used the recommended ammo and had no problems. I love this gun for all of the reasons you stated. Cheers!
@Some Guy 99 8 rounds
I also have the DE in 44 Mag and 50AE and have had no problems when using the recommend ammo
I have the .44 and have only used Fiocchi 243 gr ammo and have never had an issue. The only issue I have now is actually finding it and reasonably priced which is zero since Covid. Basically a paperweight now. Sucks
@@rickhunter6513 I have the opposite experience with Fiocchi ammo as it has NEVER cycled my DE correctly. I unfortunately bought 10 boxes of this garbage.
@@niceguy60 you have a .44 DE? So the Fiocchi 243 gr not working? I’ve never had an issue and extremely clean for my pistol. You looking to get rid of the ammo? I’d be interested
You and the wife are awesome. Real honest, sarcastic, and dirty reviews. Lol, keep it going. Oh yeah, love .357 , would make a bad day for unwanted visitors.

The PING as the.357 hits the steel is SO much louder and a more crisp sound. It made this video more fun to watch AND listen to!
One of the first handguns I ever fired was a .357 Desert Eagle back in 1989 I think. I was 14 or 15; the friend who had it reloaded but all he ever used was the 158 grain semi-jacketed hollow points. It was a fun gun to shoot but since he used Winchester 296 powder wow did it throw a big fireball! I don’t think I ever hit much with it as a kid, probably flinched every time!😂. I also remember him showing me that he’d run it a little too hot once: the brass was covered in tiny dimples! A little less powder fixed that!
If looks could kill but unfortunately they don't. Video's like this is what makes your channel so valuable.
Owned several DE’s over the years. .357,44,50AE. Not at one time. Like a lot of Firearms enthusiasts I bought, sold, traded in my younger years to get something. I found the .357 Desert Eagles the most consistently reliable (with recommended ammo) accurate and just plain FUN of all the calibers. It had the perfect combination (For Me) of power and controllability. The 50 AE was a Beast. Fun and pretty reliable (It was designed for DE) unlike the others that shoot revolver cartridges. Had DE’s, LAR Grizzlies, even a Conan and some AMT Automags at one time or another. The one gun I would LOVE to have again someday is a .357 DE. Only thing is price of firearm and Ammo prices. .357 going for 50-60 a box. I miss the days going out with my brother and Dad for an afternoon shooting in upstate PA (Tamaqua) used to be soooo much open land to explore. That was a lifetime ago. Dad’s gone, brother is 63 and in failing health and I’m 53. Seems like yesterday. A little off topic, just reminiscing about how shooting brought us all together and how much fun it was shooting and exploring. Happy New Year.
I had a .44 and as long as I stuck to the recommended ammo it worked every time. Great vid as always.
I am thinking about a DE in 44 mag or 50AE so it's good to hear they can work reliably. Would you recommend the DE in 44 mag?
I have the .44mag and the .50AE barrel for it. Both cycle FLAWLESSLY with LAX ammo's DE specific rounds. They are FMJ and fully rounded which seems to be the biggest help with the feeding issue. Also have Hornady hollow points for the .50 and they are amazing. After using it for the last 15 years I can say that aside from it being completely impractical, I would definitely feel comfortable using it for home defense.
LAX and Precision One both make DE specific rounds... they work.
@@SDseva I use the LAX loads too and have had no issues. The Freedom Munition ammo you should avoid at all cost as it NEVER cycled the round correctly in 50AE
@@jimaronson2323 Either is an easy choice when all you need is a barrel swap and mag to run the opposite ammo.
50AE and 44Mag utilize the same bolt.
Even when it's a gun I'll never buy, I'm always happy when a new Honest Outlaw video comes out.
I appendix carry one of these on first dates
It cool to see someone actually light up like a kid enjoying a new toy. Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. Nice to see
Glad you chose to do this one, I've wanted to see you review this.
The Desert Eagle is one of those weapons where we all know it isn't reliable, or practical, or affordable, but we still want one because it's a damn Desert Eagle. It's the Ferrari of the gun world.
Several years ago I got the chance to shoot a Desert Eagle in 50AE. It belonged to a guy I knew from work. Big fun!
Only time a Desert Eagle is needed for home defense is when Boris The Blade breaks into your home.
Or if your intruder decides to hide behind your fridge
Have one in .50AE. Every single person who tells me it’s an unreliable waste of money is a financially responsible firearms expert. 🙃
INSANE marksmanship 💪🏼🇺🇸
Great gob. I enjoy the non- bias reviews. And I use +p rounds through mine and it took care of the cycling issue
One of my favorite guns is the coonan 1911 in .357. Would love to try out a desert eagle in .357.
Used to own one. The recoil is incredibly tame. And it's very accurate.
So, I do have an all stainless DE L6, which has the muzzle brake, which is how it came. I also bought a 44 barrel with brake and mags, and bolt. I also bought an older model .44 barrel and slide from a Mk7.
The older slide fit on my frame, but the barrel needed very minor fitting, but it works. It cycles decent, but not as well as the newer slide and barrel
I have had a handful of malfunctions in the .357, always the same as you are having here, but with the 44, only 2 malfunctions and those were it barely failed to return to battery, basically 1/8 of an inch in the first magazine. After that, 44 has been flawless.
I have just over 600 rounds of .44 and around 700 of .357 through the gun. And yes ive had to change my action springs and extractor springs out with the newer orange poly spring.
In studying these guns, I have learned that originally, the Mk1 and MkVII had slides and barrels both specific to the calibers. The frame dimensions were the same but you needed the entire upper to swap caliber along with mags. Then they came out with the Mk19, 50 AE, and when they did this, they also changed the geometry and design of the barrels and slide. This allowed the slide to be universal to caliber just needed a bolt change for 357 to 44, 429 or 50. They stopped making the older slide and barrels around this time and swapped everything over in production.
The barrel went from a 2 piece to a 1 piece i think, but the newer style barrels sit higher up on the frame, which exacerbates the rounds catching on the feed ramp since as you pointed out is a very long cartridge.
If you watch the gun cycle in slow mo in .357, the round is thrown around like crazy by the action, and the slide is noticeably cycling faster, and you can see how janky and haphazardly functional the design seems to be for .357 now. I think the older mk1 and mk7 guns are probably more reliable in .357 because of their geometry. The barrels sat lower to the frame resulting in less upward travel needed for the long 357.
But the current production guns in the other calibers 44, especially .429 and 50, it appears to be much more reliable.
Having said all of this, I love mine, its been a goat gun since I saw Last Action Hero, Snatch and The Matrix, and its simply a fun range toy. It is not for betting your life on 😂. Though it absolutely is intimidating af, just hope that you dont NEED all the rounds in the mag to cycle. Thats what a 92FS or P99 is for.
I had a .357 Desert Eagle from '92 to around 2005 and it never misfired on me regardless of shooting brass or aluminum. I did push a lot of Blazer (I think that was the brand) aluminum cartridges through it with no problems. Interesting that it has become a finicky gun. Great review man.
I have the 50AE version. I’ve found that these guns love lots of lubricant. When they have lots of oil, they run well.
Thanks for yet another excellent and honest review. Had the same experience with one, no matter what I fed it, even the recommended expensive ammo, and customer service was no help at all. Sold it to a 'smith (for a huge loss) who eventually got it to run. Never have been so disappointed with a firearm, because of what you said: (1)cool, (2)accurate, (3)fun (when it runs).
You really are honest bro, thanks for keepin it real.
Desert eagles are semiauto pistols, 357/44 are not designed for much more than 6 shooters so they don’t feed well. This is why magnum research came out with proprietary calibers like 429. Really cool guns with lots of conversion kits, just needy in terms of cleaning and lubricant. Great video as always, curious if you would be interested in 10mm reviews? Don’t see much about all the new full size offerings.
Underwood's offerings in .357Sig parallel .357mag pretty well. Stone cold reliable in Sigs and Glocks.
@@JD-tn5lz yeah man, Underwood Ammo makes some damn good ammo and i've purchased tons of their stuff in various pistol calibers
I have an early 80s .357 IMI Desert Eagle, so far no malfunctions from the American Eagle and Armscor I've fed it. Probably one of my favorite guns to shoot.
Almost at that Gold plaque, brother! You definitely deserve it!
Great shooting. I envy your situation, being able to shoot down-range, with a pistol with a flat trajectory at 100 yards.
I had one in .44 Magnum back when they first came out. Coolest part was the dead silence at the range after you touched off the first round. By the time the mag was empty there was a crowd standing behind you looking over your shoulder!
Love the chemistry between you two. Always a joy to see.
As a owner of the Big 50AE, I guess I was one of the lucky ones . I had mines for 3 years and it runs like a champ! Eats Hornady 300 grain TXP like a champ with no issues .
Love your videos! I wanted to mention that on most automatic pistols, sometimes a little fine adjustment to the magazine feed lips can help when the round is digging into the feed ramp.
My 50ae works great never has any issues. I am shooting pretty heavy loads it is fun. No problem
I bought my DE .357 in 1985. I put 35,000 rounds through it. Most of it was the reloads that I made. In 1992 I blew up the gas piston on it. I sent it out to IMI and they repaired it for free. They also told me that I got one of the early ones and they had determined the gas ports were too small. They resolved that issue and it has worked great. They also sent me reloading data that made it run smoother than what I used. I also found JSP 158 grains worked the best. It was far cheaper to reload then than now. I carried that for many years. I used it for billing pin shoots and some competitions back then. It was funny one day when I was at the indoor range. A local female officer on the city shooting team was at the range with her fully compensated 1911. I walked in, set up the 4 mags, and did 3 magazine dumps. She came over to me because the big blast of a blue fire ring was extending out the port and those huge cases ejecting behind me. She asked me about the gun and asked me to try it. She fired a magazine and was impressed. She said it shot better that her competition 1911.
I have a sweatshirt just like that. I also have the black one. Got to love Menards.
@Honest Outlaw:
You're definitely correct about the Desert Eagle being very picky eaters!!!! I have tried one box of the recommended ammo brands when I first shot it back in September 2021 and it kept jamming after almost every shot, due to the powder not being powerful enough to reliably cycle the cartridges fully.
I have used another one of the recommended brands (Federal Premium/American Eagle) in my .44 Magnum awhile back, which performed a little better, but still had a couple malfunctions due to the weaker muzzle velocity. However, the 2 brands that wasn't recomended actually cycled the best, which was the Hornady XTP 240-grain Jacketed Hollow Points, and the Underwood Ammo XTP 240-grain/180-grain Jacketed Hollow Points. All of which cycled through the gun near-flawlessly, except when i'm not inadvertently limp-wristing it (as I had just gotten finished shooting a shotgun just a short time prior). Hell, even their 160-grain Xtreme Hunter's performed flawlessly as well.
I'm so glad this channel has finally taken off, just looked at subscriber count now, and whoa!
Great video 👍 I always find it strange that the Desert Eagle runs like a champ in movies 🎥 little to no recoil also. In real life it's a big ol Jamomatic desk eye/wall candy 🍭 paper weight very interesting 🤔 indeed.
Interesting. I subscribed about 2 minutes ago and instantly get a new video. Sick!
The channel is always fun and informative. You guys make a great product video wise.
I have always adored the looks of a Desert Eagle.
Looks so cool.
I owned an early DE in .44 mag back in the late 90’s. It ate Federal and Winchester with no problems. Harvested several deer with that pistol. Great brush gun at close range.
My DE in 50 AE eats everything. Love it.
Most 357 nowadays is incredibly watered down. There's a huge variation in powder, burn rates, and charges that are used for it with some of the slower types of powder requiring over twice the charge weight of faster burning powders. Not a problem for a revolver but for an autoloading pistol, especially one that is gas operated, that relies on a specific pressure curve and volume of gas to function, it presents a massive engineering challenge especially with a gas system as short as this one. Imagine a 7.5 inch AR pistol and then getting it to cycle with half the normal powder charge while not beating itself to pieces on full power ammo. The number of manufacturers that load the 357 to it's true potential, can be counted on one hand. Underwood, Buffalo Bore, and Grizzly are the only three that come to mind of the top of my head. Not to mention getting a rimmed cartridge to feet from a box magazine is a tricky proposition at best.
I love my .50 AE desert Eagle. It usually works great when it’s recently cleaned. After 50-100 rounds the slide will fail to close all the way every 20th round or so. Just have to tap it with your thumb and it’s ready to go again.
Almost bought the dessert eagle but after watching this, I'm happy I spent the extra money on the Coonan 357. One things for sure, 357 in a semi is very fun!
She literally admitted how well endowed u are on camera. Y'all are awesome. Will continue to donate
Love my 50ae Desert Eagle, put almost 800 rounds through it in the one year of owning it. One thing I've learned is that the .50 seems to have function issues when equipped with the integral muzzle brake. In my experience the muzzle brake is great but my friend with the brake has a bunch of issues feeding. We tried most all the ammo brands available and swapped around our mags and even tried an aftermarket mag (don't buy them) but we still had issues with his gun. He bought a solid barrel and hasn't had an issue yet. I think with ammo tuning either barrel is fine, but we are kinda limited in that aspect with .50 cal. Hope to pick up another mark 19 in .357 soon. Love the work!
I love my .50, too--Stainless version. I purchased the muzzle brake one, and quickly replaced it with the standard solid barrel, also placing wrap-around finger-groove Hogue grips--changed the experience to perfect. Underwood, Steinel, and Big Grains ammo exclusively. Safe shooting!
@@Ignorin_Rad Underwood shoots well and is very accurate for me, and its available along side hornady at my LGS.
Damn that's at least $1600 worth of ammo haha I just went and blasted mine for the first time yesterday and that 50 is stout but not as bad as I thought recoil wise. Super accurate.
I was blessed to get every caliber conversion barrel with my gun so I'm excited to see how it runs with 44 and 357 especially since I'm already set up to reload 357.
Gotta love the Deagle. One step closer to my dream of having all the counter strike guns lol
The weather Thursday was BEAUTIFUL. Got to work with just a couple layers on, sad it's cold again.
You're very honest with the desert eagle 357 and I agree that that weapon would be fun to shoot only. Working for the 9mm and 45. Good work!!!
I had a 357 Desert Eagle when they first came out. Triggers were very heavy so the Smith at the range put a Ruger Redhawk "yellow" spring in the trigger/hammer mechanism. Also filed down the half cock spur so it went from a lowered sear face to firing. I'm not condoning this sort of thing, but that was the early Eighties. I was a reloader with a Chrony; therefore, always seeking fastest 158 to 160gr velocity. W296 and H110 were the fuel and primers came out FLAT, but Velocity was always more than 150 fps faster than any similar barrel revolver. One thing i don't remember was failures, and i shot it in a few bullseye matches. Unfortunately, I sold it to buy one of the first Freedom Arms 454 Casulls. That was and still is the most accurate handgun I've ever owned. Never felt the need to load it hotter than the load sheet from Freedom Arms. 🤣
“Jam-0-Matic” perfect 👍🏻
Absolutely great channel he hat help me with lots of knowledge.
I have a 44mag Desert Eagle. Have had it for 30 years. Have never had a malfunction with it. Have shot brass but mostly, over the years, Blazer aluminum case with no issues. I don't know if 357 is just not enough energy for such a heavy gun with a bolt and twin recoil springs. Not sure. I would think hotter ammo would work well. As I said, not one malfunction in my 44 ever.
By far my favorite Guntuber I love my 44
it jams like crazy on any other shooter in my family but cycles just fine for me don't know why
i LOVE my Deagle
Thats some incredible shooting! 120 yards with a pistol!
He’s one of the best shots of any of the guntubers
Some AR bolts especially the phosphate it will have feeding issues like what this gun is exhibiting. There is just enough grip from the coating that the base of the cartridge is grabbing and cannot slide up the bolt face. I've fixed a bold like that by just using flitz and some micromesh on a piece of porcelain tile to polish the bolt face. Solved the problem.
The 44 magnum is quite reliable. Bought mine in 1990 and still have it. They are very sensitive to limp wristing.
Get there surprisingly fast at 120yrds. Nice hits!!
80 yards with a pistol?That's what I want to see!
Some people shoot at 3-4 yards and think that it's enough,but I wouldn't be satisfied even with 30 yards.
Loved the video
The 7.5 FK Brno psd pistol should make this totally obsolete. Its very very reliable, extremely well built, and shoots ammo that can drop 300 lb hogs at 100 meters with hydrostatic shock. That is all anyone could ever expect a pistol to do. And as a military sidearm the ammo is lighter, the range is better, and...oh ya....it actually works.
I recommend polishing the feed ramp, a thorough cleaning and lubing, then hand-cycle the action while you're watching youtube videos. I had a rough 1911 that smoothed out after hand-cycling the slide several hundred times
It appears that the cartridge rim may not be reliably feeding up under the extractor. Rim thickness/hardness could be an issue. That would explain why the aluminum feeds more reliably. Just a thought.
To add on, you’re right about the ammunition though. How the Desert Bird (eagle) works to me is that you have to find weighted ammunition in order for the slide to work properly.
In the near future, I’m going to try grain ammunition that is higher than 158.
to see if it shoots fluently.
Love my .44 DE. Soon as you take it out the firing range starts to quiet and then you have the feeling like your being watched and then start sending lead down range being chased by the 15" flame I easily is the crowd pleaser. 6 years ago I took t to a range and brought 30 rounds of ammo and I only got to shoot 10 of them. The rest I let other shooters get a taste...great gun.
Awesome review Chris! I appreciate how you differentiated between reliability and fun. lol Your expression told the story. Also, hitting from 120 yds, amazing! To the range I'll go, to try it out. *Rental of course.
Same with my 44 mag dez. CCI Blazer works like charm. Super grip helps also. Thanks for your vid.
I have DE L5 .357. 158 grain brass is what I use, FMJ of course. You need that much powder to cycle it. You showed two of the best rounds. It takes breaking in. It likes to be a little wet. I have never had a jam with mine! It is super accurate and massively fun. I am a wheel gun lover. .357 Magnum is my favorite round for the reasons you gave. I carry a S&W 686+, also super accurate and fun...7 for sure. The L5 is a great target specialty gun. It turns heads at the range, and yeah, best shoot distant target...it can hit them, and fast! 😁 👍Thanks for the review.👍
I owned one in 1994 and Remington golden saber was all that worked. Sold it
We was ridiculous cold last week as well here in Missouri but the last two days it's been up in the '60s
I moved to Alaska decades ago from Iowa. I also own a piece of land down in southern Missouri. I got a huge kick out of seeing that my house in Missouri was colder than my home in Alaska for a couple days
I just picked up a burnt bronze .50 very recently. I love the .50 deagle.
Yep. Had the same issue with mine, jjamomatic. Spoke with manufacturers, said only use blah blah ammo. Same problems. And only 1 mag BS. Nope, it went down the road.
Going to be honest I never would've expected you to review a Desert Eagle. I'm glad you did though.
I had the original Dessert Eagle and loved that gun. First time I took it to the range and this gun went off. Everyone wanted to see this. Most fun handgun I ever owned.
Easily
I dual carry these. One under each arm...😊
Okay then here's the most expensive pistol that I have ever owned, my Desert eagle XIX
With the interchangeable barrels.
I can do change it from a 9mm to a 357,to a 44mag or a 50cal , I give $4,500 for this gun back in the late 90s or early 2000s. Now every other barrel and magazine cost me more money as well, but I love this gun.
Years ago I had the opportunity to shoot one in 50 AE. The 357 or 44 is the way I would go.
Love the channel. I want to start this by saying that I have never fired the 357 Desert Eagle. As someone with 15,000 rounds through my Desert Eagle 50AE I can tell you one of the reasons for the failure to go back into battery. At about 6:35 in the video you gave a close-up of the open bolt. It appears to be very dry. The Eagle doesn't like that. Oil the crap out of it. The bolt and the plunger. When you think you have a little too much oil, put some more on. Everyone likes to grip the gun high, but that causes your right thumb to rest just under the slide stop. That will create enough friction to keep it from going back into battery as well. Lastly, only use Magnum Research mags. The Pro Mag people should be beaten with their magazines as they suck!
Keep making the great content!
Go to Chekmate, they are the OEM for this gun.
I have to admit, I'm very jealous of what you get to do. But, I don't hate you for it. I just watch your videos and live vicariously through them.
Always heard they had reliability issues in 357, but the ability to swap calibers fixes that. Those federal 158 soft points always jam in a lot of my 357’s. I’d look at hornady they may have some decent loads but at a high cost to be fair
Great video! Thanks a bunch! Have a Happy New Year! Looking forward to seeing more..
I could think of several DIY gunsmith things you could to make it run 100%.. But that should never be necessary with such an expensive gun! My pops and even my younger nephew are .357 kinda guys, I've got 3 - 10mm 🤣Thank you and the wife for all of the hard work you put into making continuously awesome content! Happy New Year you two!
1st learning about the Deagle was Counterstrike 1.6
All disappointments aside, one nice thing about the DE is that a would-be red dot sight would remain static and not reciprocate on the slide. That can be a VERY BIG advantage!
I have an mk xix .50ae but no muzzle break. It is a gun I always wanted. I got a reload a Dillon 550. To be able to afford to shoot it.
It is fun to shoot. I have lil baby hands so it looks silly and I don't often one-hand it.
If any jams happen it is because of me or my reloads. The gun functions pretty well otherwise.
Us midway boys should use to this type of winter 🥶
Main reason I want it is because I can use it and my dad's .357 Smith and Wesson revolver at the same time.
Another great video. Thank you. I have shot the 50 AE and found it ridiculously huge for my small hands. The most recognizable gun ever for sure. cool gun. Wish I could afford one but... as for the ammo, I use Blazer aluminum all the time. No issues and about $80 per 1000 round box cheaper without any issues at all.
If I ever were to get a DE, this would be the one I would pick. Also wouldn't mind having a Jericho Baby DE 9mm, like Spike's in Cowboy Bebop 🤠
For such a Supermodel of a gun, it's actually kinda hilarious it has constant reliability issues - but if (not when) it shows up, it shows OUT!
I'd suggest that perhaps it's not just a feeding issue with the feed ramp being the culprit, but also you might look into heavier recoil springs. That's a heavy slide and it requires a lot of force to reciprocate it forward once the energy of the fired round has been expended. Look into getting heavier recoil springs for it and see how that helps you with going back into battery after firing. Another great video from you and the missus! You guys are a great team! Happy New Year to you both. :)
I've seen you have fun before..But damn it looks like you were having a TON more fun with this beauty.
Love size and design. I honestly think the H&K MK23 is the ultimate home defense pistol... You know it's always gonna work, it's accurate, and it shoots+p 45 acp.
i mean it’ll work great. not a gun you want to end up locked in evidence but if it saved your life i’d say thats worth it. Throw a suppressor on there to really get the most out. In for a penny in for pound, i’d say.
In 45 super yes
Had one in 44 mag. I call these desert turkey. You got jammed.
I have a Desert eagle in .44 that I hunt with. It's extremely reliable now. If I could make some suggestions. Polish the feed ramp, use dry lube in the magazine, and try using hotter loads. Just a few things that really helped me out.
On my 50 AE, polishing the ramp so.lved all the problem. They are freaking great pistols.,
