OK...so WHY was the Desert Eagle born, anyway? And by Israel, of all people?

They make long barreled hunting models, and suppsoedly the gas system decreases recoil for the sensitve-to-recoil crowd. Other than that, why take a pistol with Questionable reliability over any magnum caliber revovler? I've noticed every local place has the DE50ae in the same place, all the way to the bottom, all the way to the right, out of sight, because nobody will actually pay 1600 dollars, not to mention it's chambered in 2 dollar bills.

BTW, MT2008, get my PM over at TFL?
