Double Eagle
Inactive
I am not a hunter, but I have always wondered about the way the Desert Eagle design is marketed towards handgun hunters.
On the pro side, it is a semi-automatic large calibre hunting handgun and there are few of them around. On the down side, I see factors such as weight, inability to fire cast bullets and in the eyes of some the fact that it is a gas-operated semi-automatic counts against it.
Do you know anyone who swears by this design, and if so- what is it that they like about it, and in what role do they employ it?
Do any of them use it to hunt dangerous game, and would it be a suitable handgun for bear defensive given that it delivers better than 30% more kinetic energy at the muzzle than a .44?
