muzzle brake for .50AE Desert Eagle?

[soopafly]

You gleefully buy a .50 Deagle, and complain about the recoil?

No. Please read the bolded part below:

The recoil is manageable, but what gets me is the muzzle flip. It causes spent casings to hit me in the forehead often enough, that I'm considering the muzzle brake from Magnum Research to (hopefully) tame it and stop the casings from hitting me in the face.

I just realized you called it a "Deagle" LOL.

What is that, some breed of dog? haha

Deagle: Desert+Eagle= Deagle

Muzzle flip/rise is all about the recoil. You need to crank up the forearm beast mode for better control.

[soopafly]

Deagle: Desert+Eagle= Deagle

Ha!...I know...just hazing you a bit, since "Deagle" came from the gamer crowd playing MW, Counter Strike, etc. who typically had no experience using firearms or...wait for it...real steel, hahaha.

I've yet to actually experience this. MRI claims that this is caused by improper handling of the firearm during firing. Apparently if you don't have a firm grasp of the grip the handgun torques in such a way that it will eject into your forehead. All of my casings fly over my right shoulder unless I'm shooting low power ammo, then they go over my head.

You get my PM Rekrab? Can you bring it to the next meet at On Target?

I discovered something on a (somewhat)recent outing with my DE...

I brought it out to Angeles to shoot at the steel on the pistol side. It was a chilly morning, so I put on my shooting gloves to keep my hands warm. Upon sending the first round downrange, I immediately realize that I have a much better grip, and much better control of the big .50 during the firing cycle. Brass was no longer hitting me in the forehead from the (formerly)extreme muzzle flip.

I have to say: a pair of shooting gloves is a much cheaper solution than sending the gun back to Magnum Research to install a muzzle brake. Now, I can use that money to buy more ammo instead.

Do you have the hogue finger groove grips? Made a big difference on mine

[MrExel17]

Just for the kool factor would buy it, but majority of there breaks do help especially with a load like that.

Yes, it is the first accessory I bought for the pistol shortly after acquiring it.

[sava6e]

learn how to shoot it! thats how you get them to stop hitting you, just think of it this way every time a spent case hits you its natures way of saying your an idiot

[soopafly]

...your an idiot

oh, the irony....friggin' classic


BTW, WTF is your major malfunction, Pyle!?!?! Did you even bother reading the whole thread?

[TZL]

Isn't the recoil the fun part of the DE50?

I see no reason to reduce the recoil in mine....

[soopafly]

...for those not reading the whole thread, and just responding to my OP...to be clear, I have decided NOT to get the muzzle brake/compensator. Hogue grips + shooting gloves = excellent control.

I just received a .50 AE barrel with factory installed muzzle break I ordered through the Magnum Research website for my CA-legal Mark XIX that originally came only with the 6" .44 barrel.
I'm going to be shooting it this weekend hopefully with the new .50 AE barrel. I didnt have a .50 barrel to start with, so I figured I'd just order it the way I wanted the first time and shell out the extra cash since I was going to buy a .50 ae barrel either way. I bought this weapon in April and havent found 1 person with a Mark XIX compatable .50 barrel used (that wasnt sold already by the time I got to them), so regardless I know I was going to have to shell out the cash for new priced .50 barrel.
