Desert Eagle .45 Win Mag

[Nightcrawler]

Is there any reason they don't make this, in particular? Wouldn't it sell? Seems to me a DE in .45 Win Mag (or another gun, even), would have several advantages over a DE in .50 AE or .44 Magnum:

-More bullet varieties than .50 AE
-No complications with stacking rimmed rounds in a box magazine as with .44 Magnum
-Ammo is less expensive than .50 AE

Personally, I think a slightly oversized 1911 in .45 Win Mag would be just divine.

One a side note, the only guns in production right now chambered for the .45 Win Mag are the Wildey (it can't be a big seller, given its price) and the Dan Wesson model 460 (as long as the .45 Win Mag uses Star Line Brass, you can fit it into moon clips and use it in the revolver). How does the cartridge survive with such a limited number of platforms?

Make it .458 Win Mag and I'd be curious (and probably in the hospital, but hey, what can you do...).

a 45 wimag in a 1911 platform does exist

It's called the LAR Grizzly. I dont know a whole lot about them other than spare parts are hard to come by but I've seen the pistols going for about 700-900 at my local gun shows. Big Beefy grip, always wanted one, but cant seem to justify the expense for what would only be a novelty gun for me (I dont hunt).

That sounds like an LAR Grizzly

I've got three.

They are devine, but sadly out of production.

Very reliable and accurate and built very very well.
