I don't think I posted any DE info over at the AKfiles. I did post in a few different threads over at ARFCOM.

I fired 7 rounds to see if the gun was working. I wore a face shield. Far as I can tell, only one round hit the shield. It's hard to tell, because your mind goes blank for an instant when this gun goes off.
IIRC TRX, your 44 mag Deagle is a Israeli made one so naturally it would like Samson/IWI/IMI made ammo.I found that the .44 Desert Eagle was very sensitive to ammo. It shot Samson/IMI fine. Anything else was a "maybe." The .44 Magnum is primarily a revolver round, and no matter what the specs said, a lot of it was way wimpier than it was supposed to be. Revolvers don't care, so I guess they got few complaints. Owners of autoloading shotguns have the same problem in finding shells that will cycle their guns.
If it's cycling Samson ammo and not Precision One, I'd be giving the squinty eye to the Precision One ammo. Maybe someone at your local range could be persuaded to let you fire a few rounds across their chronograph.
On the other hand, the short-recoil action of the LAR Grizzly and the AMT Automag V seems to be more flexible than IMI's implementation of a rotating bolt gas system; you could use this as an excuse to buy another .50AE gun to use up the wimpy ammo...
Yes 44 AMP, but it become "common place" to call a Desert Eagle a "Deagle" just like "shotties" "wheelies" ect., everyone knows what you're referring to with the listed terms unless you're a total "noob"."Deagle" is a pretend pistol in a video game.
They wanted to call it a Desert Eagle, but the name block in the game didn't have enough spaces so they called it "DEagle".
I have Desert Eagles in .357 and .44 Magnum. Don't have any "Deagles", don't have the game, either...
and while I have shotguns and revolvers as well, I don't have any "shottys" or "wheelies" Last "wheelie" I did was on a Hodaka Super Rat about 40 years ago..
Your grip may still be part of the issue. A solid grip is part of it. But where does the gun track when you shoot? The gun wants to twist in the grip when firing, which points it just right so it will eject at one's forehead.Today I fired the gun, and most rounds failed to extract. The ones that did extract generally hit me in the face... I know how to shoot it. I hold it very firmly, and it worked for me in the past.
I originally bought a .44 Mag. I didnt' buy a .50 barrel for several years, as I figured the .44 could do anything teh .50 could, at less cost per round. When I finally did buy a .50 barrel, I was surprised at how much more recoil the larger caliber produced. Actually, not so much the recoil as the amount of muzzle flip. The difference between the two was more than I had expected it to be.Hmm. the .44 Mag Dessert Eagle I shot was the only .44 (in my limited experience with it) that I found comfortable to shoot. The DE soaked it up pretty well.
Well if "you know what you're doing", you could probably could port the barrel yourself there Swifty.I have a real allergy to selling guns, so I feel determined to make this thing work. Maybe a new ported barrel would be helpful. Or I could send the old one to Mag-na-Port. I wonder what they charge.
Hmm, there's always using a compensator on the Desert Eagle, I've seen ones that are compensated there Swifty.I'm an amateur machinist, but I make plenty of mistakes!
I can get the gun ported for under $200, but they won't be able to put a picatinny rail on it.
