  • Today on Halfmilesniper I will be testing the Desert Eagle 44 Mag vs S&W Model 29 velocity difference. Which one will have the higher velocity?

    Man that was interesting. I think we all got surprised a little on that one! That revolver must really be built good.👍

      All of the Smith & Wesson N Frames are well built, they didn't scrimp on the steel at all. I think I might break out a couple 44 Specials...compare a newer model to an oldie from 1929.

      @@Halfmilesniper thats a good idea, id like to see that. I've shot my dads S&W 44 mag & its nothing to play with. It made me take a step back the first time, fun to shoot it a few times occasionally but not really enjoyable to target practice with. Id like to hunt sometime with it. Not sure I've seen a 44 special.

      It was fun finally getting to shoot one of the Desert Eagles. The weight of the gun eats a lot of recoil but there is still a good amount, which surprised me. I appreciate you watching.

      @@Halfmilesniper No problem! I've held several desert eagles, they're heavy! A petite woman had to get a man to pick one up for her when I requested to see it at a gun store. The .44 magnum sure packs a wallop. I've shot a revolver in that caliber.

    • @Halfmilesniper

      Just looking at the velocities I would agree they used a 4 inch gun. It's really odd because usually the advertised velocities are somewhat optimistic but not with this box.

    • @Halfmilesniper
      @Halfmilesniper  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Nope Chris, it's been my experience that semi-autos run just a little quicker. I had the same sort of result when I compared 9mm from and auto and a revolver. The difference is due to the barrel gap that the revolvers have, you loose a little oomph at the gap.

      I was totally surprised how warm this lot of factory ammo was. I still have some left, I should run some through my 8.5 inch Model 29, those extra 2.5 inches might have this ammo running almost 1500 FPS.
      As for the Desert Eagle, I also passed on all of them for rock bottom prices back in the day...I should have jumped when I had the opportunity. That way, I wouldn't have to borrow one for a video, LOL.

    Not surprising results. Essentially no real difference between the two. I have a DE in 50AE, and a Magnum Research BFR also in 50AE with a 7.1" barrel. I have chronographed several loads between the two, and there is no real difference in MV. A few FPS here, and a few FPS there - no real difference. Interesting video you made.

    That gun is a bit much for you. I'd try a 357, most everyone can learn to shoot that magnum. 44 mag is no joke. I have several 44's and I was scared to death when I first shot one. I was intimidated when I bought my first one. But after about 50 rounds I was in love. A 44 gives you the confidence to go anywhere. Anytime. Met a few determined ""Yogi's" "in my days. And you really aren't too afraid. My dad always said if a 44 won't do it, you best leave it alone. And he was right of course. Why anyone would want or need anything else is beyond me. Some people can handle a 44 mag some can't. Mr. Halfmile was flinching every round. He won't be any good with a 44 mag, too much gun for him. It is, what it is. Peace.
