    Desert Eagle/RMR Range Report

    So on the weekend, I finally had a chance to shoot my .50 Desert Eagle with the new Trijicon RMR.
    This was the first time that I shot this particular gun, and the first time I tried the RMR, and It made for a pretty impressive combination.
    The RMR burned bright and held tight. (Someone on here warned me that the RMR might be unstable because it was so far forward on the gun - but it was excellent), And the gun performed flawlessly. All the brass landed at 4 o'clock in a nice pile, and even with the aluminum grips, my grasp was solid with every shot. Judging by the kick on this mule, the muzzle brake was a necessity as she made sure to let me know she was the "king" of magnums.
    I only fired 20 rounds, and though I was only moderately happy with my accuracy, each shot was deliberate, memorable, and exhilarating.
    I was able to ding the 25 yard metal targets several times, and even got lucky by hitting the Ram out at 100 yards a couple of times.
    I know the Desert Eagle is equally loved and hated for many reasons, but If you are satisfied with your "collection" and can afford a handheld WMD that "serves no good purpose", I highly recommend it!

          The pictures don't do those rounds justice! I fired one at the range when the guy next to me gave me the liberty. I saved the shell casing just to help spark my memory. I've had the experience so I can relate. CONGRATULATIONS!

            Beautiful gun. Definitely the king of semi auto handgun magnum rounds.

              I was able to ding the 25 yard metal targets several times...
              I was told by the staff there at Angeles that the first row of silhouettes is placed at 35 yards... I was surprised. Are they on crack? I wanna get a laser rangefinder either way. Regardless, that's some good shootin'!

              Who makes that cartridge?

                    Funny, I was thinking the same thing. Should have put a puny 9mm next ro one of them.

                          I'm not familiar with Underwood. I'll look into it. And thank you, I will!

                              Thanks. Problem is, I'm in LA, and can't order any ammo by mail.
                              Are there any vendors that carry it?
