  1. I used to have a Desert Eagle Mk 1 in .357mag that I CC'd all the time. It can tend to get cumbersome depending on how you carry it. The easiest and most comfortable is a shoulder rig, but I usually chose an IWB holster because I don't like wearing jackets all day, just wear slightly baggier clothes. As for a DE in .50AE or a PSL, it's a matter of personal preference, I'd take the DE all day long. Fun as hell to shoot in any caliber,and accurate follow up shots aren't as hard as people are making them out to be, even in .50AE. And it can be fun to see the looks you get when you pull one out at the range. If you decide you don't like it, do like Indy said, sell it or trade it for something you do like.

  2. Saw it, wish I didn't. The critics were (for once), spot on with this one. The "acting" was just sad at best. I went home and immediately watched the original to get the new one out of my head. The guy who played Jed was the only somewhat decent actor in the whole movie. The plot was all over the place and didn't make much sense. The worst actor in the movie is the guy who played Matt, just absolutely horrible. I'm just going to pretend that this movie doesn't exist now.

  3. I had a Mk. 1 in .357 mag. Was a fun gun to shoot, but they require a good bit of maintenance, being that they are gas operated. Not sure about the .41 mag model, but the .357 is very picky on what ammo she'll cycle (at least the one I had, as well as others I've talked to). I would highly suggest checking out the Desert Eagle forums for some really good info. That price for the gun you described doesn't sound worth it to me. I would definitely look elsewhere. One thing though, if you find one in .41 mag, CDNN Sports has the factory mags (not the Promags) on their website for $20 each.

  4. How much of the hi brass did you put through it before switchiing to the low brass? A lot of people recommend an average of between 100-300 of hi brass for breaking the gun in. Then it should (but not necessarily will) cycle the low brass better. I'd try that before dumping a lot of money on parts just yet.

  5. Well, I just swapped it back onto my S12 with the forgrip attached. The factory 5 rounders and the AGP 10 rounders went in without issue. The insertion angle is shallow enough that there is a little bit (but not much) room to allow them to go in without a problem.

  6. I had an AMD handguard on my S12 until just recently when i finally got to shoot it. I don't have the forgrip on it though. It definitely heats up quite a bit if you rapid fire, more so on the rifles. I used the Dinzag lower handguard retainer on mine, but there is one thing, the AMD handguard is not just something you can just throw on. You need to remove the entire top folder over part of the handguard. I actually went back to the original handguard. The color in the pic is due to my camera, the guns aren't actually purple.

  7. Didn't shoot it out at all. I bought it used from someone a couple years ago and never fired it till just a couple weeks ago. I remember the guy said he only put a couple mags through it. The barrel is all sorts of screwed up. At 25 yards, it is shooting about 1.5-2 feet low and to the right and keyholing. The barrel is warped something awful. I doubt it's able to be saved.

  8. In regards to the thread itself, the only post that could possibly be considered offensive was not from the banned member, but the OP. But, I can't really say even that was offensive, just extremely rude and uncalled for. That being said, no one knows if any naughty PMs or emails were exchanged, so all there can be is speculation.

  9. Exactly, but who knows, perhaps something was said in a PM or email. All I know is that the thread made a certain someone look REALLY bad, which is possibly why it was deleted. A saving face kind of thing. I just miss seeing Ram's Saigas, they were practically works of art compared to most others I've ever seen.
