Consisting of 92 parts, the Desert Eagle is often referred to by the manufacturer as a hand rifle instead of just a handgun. Recoil is controlled by two heavy, three-braid wire recoil springs.

New for 2017, the Desert Eagle Mark XIX, Model Number DE44WB6, features a .44 Magnum caliber with a 6” barrel, O/A length of 10.75” a slide width of 1.25” and a height of 6.25”.

In a way, the Desert Eagle is part revolver, pistol and rifle. The Desert Eagle’s rifle traits have the advantage of taming recoil—an important consideration for a large caliber handgun.
