Accuracy of the Desert Eagle 50AE is just fine, if you take the time to shoot it properly.Dilbert_X wrote:
Which is why I'd pick an HP every time.
Were his shots at all accurate?
It's not a Hammerli, by any stretch, but it'll put (big) rounds on target reliably.
I wouldn't mind having one as a backup sidearm in bear country.
9mm isn't going to do much against a charging bear at close range, and a bolt action long rifle is useless in such a situation, so you need a decent pistol as a backup.
Do you have the company hat, the polo shirt, the watch, the lapel pin, the coffee mug, the bumper sticker, and the writing pen?Reciprocity wrote:
the "cool" factor doesn't come from the gun. it's the predator style tri-beam laser target designator and official desert eagle ankle holster that let people know I'm a cool customer.
'cause if ya don't got all that, you ain't a Cool Kid™, doncha know.
(which is about all the HK online webshop is good for, HK branded Cool Kid™ junk. Can't order parts from them online, but you can order an HK waterbottle! )
Seriously tempted to pick up a FN HP MkIII, though. Miss having one around.
And traded out that junk Trijicon scope for a Nightforce. It was in stock, the store didn't have any Zeiss scopes with 30mm tubes, and I didn't feel like waiting 2 weeks to special order a scope. NXS 5-22x50, very clear, can see small birds in trees 1150yds away.
