Also, there's a two-tone Mark I that was used by the villain Tempus in an episode of "Lois & Clark". It had a brushed chrome frame and slide, but regular blued barrel and controls, and I thought that was a neat-looking combination. If I owned an Eagle, I think that's the finish I would want. Quote:

I don't think Magnum Research has ever actually called the Mark I the "Mark I". Or at least, they definitely didn't in any of the old advertising I've seen. I get the impression that "Mark I" is a name that was added in retrospect after the newer generations of Desert Eagle were introduced. Quote:
On the other hand, I hate rails on anything, so I wouldn't want a Mark XIX. I think that visually, I like the look of the Mark VII the most. |

Even the Mark VII .357 and .44 require the slide to be changed also. The Mark VII .50 is essentially a Mark XIX but without the rail notches. I could deal with rail notches on the XIX but the fluted barrels are ugly. |

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

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. Quote:

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. |

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).

It took me awhile to notice the differences between AR-15 and M16 rifles
