Where did you learn you're gun iding skills?

I converted the Beretta 92FS list, it took a while but it couldn't be as long as that.

I've been sick today (head cold, again), and I didn't feel like doing any research, so I took some time to re-organize the Desert Eagle page. It's now organized by variant (Mark I, Mark VII, Mark XIX), and I got most of the movies and TV shows on the page within the right categories. I didn't even try with the video games though, nor did I create the grid.

If I got any of the info wrong about the Desert Eagle variants (since, as you can imagine, I'm no expert), feel free to correct me.

My contact at ISS told me that the ones they re-finished for "Goldmember" kept getting too "foggy" pretty easily, not to mention smudges and fingerprints are highly visible. They kept having to wipe them down after extended usage.

More of ISS's guns, I imagine. They've got a lot of custom Eagles in inventory, that were built for lots of different movies and TV shows (and reused later on others).

I don't think I've ever seen one for sale. I wonder if they even bothered to change the markings? From what I've read, they received a whole bunch of parts that IMI/IWI had already made, and just assembled/finish them.

Great work on the page. I'm no expert either. Most of the info I learned had to with caliber swapping.

Yeah I seen one of those gold bastards pop up again on "Chuck" Adam Baldwin used it during the "Arms show" episode.

Don't know if you been watching Chuck. But I loved the last episode when Chuck gave Casey his Sig back as a present.

That may be the reason why few USA marked ones come up for sale, most were assembled from left over IMI parts.

careful, painstaking research through reading numerous books identifying guns. It hasn't seemed to have done me much good however

@ Matt, I know the cuts are only on the XIX models, at the time I didn't think to type the designation since I figured you guys would know what I was talking about without having to retort.

I wouldn't have any desire to swap calibers, I like the .357 Magnum plenty, and besides, finding a Stainless replacement barrel in any caliber would be a challenge. I've only seen the black oxide barrels on the market by themselves. That aside, the only obvious difference I see in the MK I and the MK VII is the safety, and I can take the original one or the fang looking one, though the MK I would fit the kinds of guns I get better (rare, functional, usually earlier variants).

Yeah, that was neat. Even if it was a plot device for what happens later.

I've been watching "Chuck", but the writing is definitely not as good as it was earlier in the season.
