Hey Folks,
I have always been a rimfire shooter but now want to get a centerfire pistol. Trouble is that you have to poke out mega-bucks to get a centerfire pistol to even come close to the accurracy of my cheapie .22 So, here's the question: I'm not interested in formal IDPA, IPSC, or Bullseye but love to shoot pistol games and Sportsman Team Challenge and want to have a centerfire to do it with. I have heard that the Desert Eagle is one of the most accurate pistols there is. And, if I get it in a .357, it would have the least amount of recoil, providing the most amount of control coupled with all that weight, not to mention the option of a 10" barrel. Tune the trigger and add custom grips. Am I missing something here? Local shooters are trying to steer me away from that gun. What gives? I'm not a fan of any model gun so 1911's have no special place in my heart. Any comments would be welcomed.
