		<description>I have purchase 2 of these small autos and am very pleased with their reliability (no hiccups at all!).  Hard trigger pull, but still smooth.  Almost as accurate as my walther pk380.  Coffee cup easily at 29 ft.  I was surprised myself!  The extended clip is needed because keeping practiced up a bit on the range w/your cc gun is recommended.  This give you an extra finger(which this little firecracker needs) to hang on to.  You will never notice any recoil in a bad situation so the factory short clip is great to keep it small in your pocket.  Highly recommend this small auto.   RC</description>

		<description>I bought a Micro Desert Eagle today after wanting a pocket pistol to carry for a few weeks. This pistol is all it is said to be. Hides very well in the pocket with the right holster. Field strips very easilyand easy to re-assemble. Range review: shoots where I aimed it, held tight groups of 4&quot; at about 15 yards. Shoots better than my neighbors LCP. 1 downside: trigger finger sting, need shooters gloves whan firing after 20 rounds or so. Awesome little pistol. Wished i had it months ago. GRADE- solid A</description>

		<description>Update: Received my Micro back from Magnum Research, they were great to work with.  They replaced the trigger bar spring, magazine release spring, cleaned it and made a couple of adjustments.  I&#039;ve now run about 200 rounds through the weapon and find that it works as advertised with the exception that it is still possible to inadvertently release the magazine.  Over all, good shooter... I&#039;m still thinking about replacing the Micro with a &quot;wheel-gun&quot; just for peace of mind, however! Dependability is what I am truly concerned with here...   I&#039;m pleased to hear that others have had a great experience with their Micro.</description>

		<description>I am very fond of my MDE.  Purchased for $399. it has become my constant companion.  It shoots very well and always to point of aim.  And, for whatever reason, it seems to me to be a much more quiet pocket pistol to fire than my LCP or Sig 238 with common ammo.  I also purchased two spare magazines with the finger extension.  Overall a great little all metal supremely compact bodyguard.  I&#039;d love to have another to put back as a collectible.</description>

		<description>I just returned from firing my brand new MDE. With all new semi-auto pistols I like to load the mag., then chamber the rounds out as a test. Had no problems with this test.
     I loaded the mag,  chambered the first round, pulled the mag loaded another round, to have a full mag (6), plus one chambered. Had several jams after firing the first round. 
When I had only five rounds in the mag plus one the chamber, had no problems at all.
     Have heard alot of people complain the trigger pull is too heavy, I did not find this to be a problem.
     I do however did not like the extremely long trigger pull. My Glock 27 nor my Taurus Judge have that long of a trigger pull. 
     
                         Here&#039;s my grade for the MDE:

Concealability:  A+, Weight: A, Trigger Pull: A, Trigger Pull LENGTH: D,
Recoil: A, Price: B-,  Overall grade: A

I am just a private citizen. Not a firearms expert nor a dealer. 
Just someone afraid of what our government is doing TO US, instead of FOR US.</description>

		<description>In regards to the Micro Desert Eagle and Speer Gold Dot .380 ammunition, neither the MDE I own, nor a new MDE in a local gun shop will reliably chamber the top Gold Dot round from a fully-loaded magazine. Most often, this attempt results in a jam with the Gold Dot hollowpoint wedged into the base of the feed ramp and trapped there by the slide under recoil spring pressure, which makes ejecting the magazine to clear the jam less than speedy.

Magnum Research technicians have reported this issue with &quot;other&quot; MDEs as well - the official recommendation is to use, perhaps among others, Hornady XTP hollowpoints. Fiocchi FMJ rounds load reliably in my MDE, although there is at times a &quot;smiley&quot; crease near the bottom edge of the bullet face where it apparently strikes the bottom of the feed ramp while loading from the magazine.

The rounds from a fully-loaded magazine seem less supported at the front, bullet-side of the round, promoting the &quot;tip down, get stuck at base of feed ramp&quot; behavior seen with the Speer Gold Dot rounds.

(For reference, the number one of the boxes of Speer Gold Dot .380 is 53606.)</description>

		<description>I was on of the first to purchase this firearm when it hit the stores.  I have ran about 300 target and 100 hollow points through in the past 18 months.  Zero Jams, always a tight shot group even as far out as 45 feet (for the experienced shooter) The extra couple of ounces help on control over the Kahr and other sub compact models that are lighter.  I love the larger trigger guard and the trigger brake is pretty smooth and consistent.  After about 50 rounds the kickback will begin to become evident on your wrist, however, they are now making extented grips for the magizen to help ensure more than a 2 figer grip on the weapon which should help out alot (mine are on back order) Overall I give this weapon an A+ for what it is, for what it&#039;s intented use is, for its reliability &amp; accuracy.  As far as a .380 Carry weapon this would be the only one for me.</description>

		<description>I bought the MDE new on Saturday. Went to the range the same day and put 50 rounds through the weapon.  Shot well with tight grouping and no malfunctions using several different types of ammo.  Really loved the experience so I decided to introduce my wife to the MDE on Monday evening. 
 My wife experienced extration failures, chambering problems and even managed to drop the magazine clip out of the weapon as described by someone in an earlier post. I fired the same weapon with the same FMJ rounds and experienced none of the above. It appears that the weapon can be unforgiving of any type of limb wristing or poor shooting technique, same as any weapon...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I bought the MDE new on Saturday. Went to the range the same day and put 50 rounds through the weapon.  Shot well with tight grouping and no malfunctions using several different types of ammo.  Really loved the experience so I decided to introduce my wife to the MDE on Monday evening.<br />
 My wife experienced extration failures, chambering problems and even managed to drop the magazine clip out of the weapon as described by someone in an earlier post. I fired the same weapon with the same FMJ rounds and experienced none of the above. It appears that the weapon can be unforgiving of any type of limb wristing or poor shooting technique, same as any weapon&#8230;<br />

		<description>This is a nice gun for CCW. It is fairly accurate despite the very short barrel. I have not had any troubles with mag releasing itself. Check Magnum Research site for very nice Blackhawk pocket holster. Fits the gun perfectly and it has good outer surface so you don&#039;t get the holster when pulling out the gun. I also bought the wood grips and an extra magazine. The wood grips I received say ZVI on them. Apparently Mag Research has newer ones now so I hope the grips I have are rare. I recommend this gun highly.</description>

		<description>Hi from Czech Republic - just a few things to add - as you already know, the MDE is ZVI produced Kevin, but the author was outsourced - the designer`s name is Antonin Zendl - famos Czech gunsmith. 
Saying that MDE has probably better materials than original Czech Kevin could be taken as offence here guys ;) 
If you have bigger hands, I would reccomend using 8 rounds mags and extension, it really helps a lot.</description>

		<description>Momma was SO impressed, she bought a pair for us. I checked them out last week and they ran FLAWLESSLY. If there is a down side to them, it would be:
1) Big hands don&#039;t have much to hold - not sure if finger extension would help
2) BITE - big bite! 3 of us shot it and the 4th guy said &quot;no, thanks.&quot; (lol)

Up side? - I usually fail on DAO pistols. Holy cow! At 7 yds (21-25 ft) this thing printed very nicely! The bite is definitely worth the precision.</description>

		<description>Bought the micro 380 last weekend and went shooting yesterday. Took to the range the new gun, a Ruger LCP, S&amp;W 637(light weight) and the NAA 22magnum 1&quot; barrel. The Magnum Research gun was very accurate at 7yrds, trigger pull was like 4x as heavy as the LCP. The LCP was also accurate and both take a lot of practice shoot accurately. Recoil on both guns is not bad. The S&amp;W was a joy to shoot, light trigger, light recoil and very accurate for a snub nose. The NAA will be traded at the next gun show. All these small guns will leave your trigger finger somking!</description>

		<description>Thanks Joe for the comparison between the MDE and the Seecamp.  I own the Seecamp in both 32 cal and 380 cal, and find them to be well made and concealable.  From reading this blog, I will be adding a MDE to my collection as well.  I enjoy small well made firearms!

		<description>Charlie: Yes, the seecamp is smaller, and the recoil is lighter in the .32ACP and feels lighter in the .380. I like my MDE, but the recoil is harsh compared to my SIG P238 and others. Ive gotten used to the trigger pull, but its still hard enough to effect accuracy out beyond 10 feet. Its a good little gun though.

One piece of advice to all owners: after my first 300 rounds, the mag started dropping out after firing a round. the grip screw on the right side of the gun was slightly loose, and it also serves to keep the mag release spring compressed. After I tightened it, no problems. I put a dab of thread lock on it just to be sure.</description>
