It’s again one of those times of the year when the Desert Eagle’s eggs hatch. Again, as per tradition, the livery of the newborns shows a certain degree of boldness. Overall, the black and gold combination we have here appears somewhat less aggressive than other options. Definitely,  Magnum Research knows the tastes of its customer base, and our very own HGFC series shows that the OEM still has better judgment.

Magnum Research of the Kahr Arms Group has always been known for big-bore hand-cannons that put an immediate beaming smile on anyone’s face who shoots their products. They are also known for their exotic finishes that are truly one-of-a-kind. Recently Magnum Research has introduced a new finish to their Desert Eagle line-up with their primal White Tiger coating that is sure to turn some heads at the gun range.

Magnum Research is most famously known for their “ Big Boys,” their “ D-Eagles,” or whatever affectionate moniker you would like to tie to the company who makes handguns in all things large. A new title they can add to their growing legend is “Made in the USA” because now all of their Desert Eagles will be completely manufactured in the United States.

Magnum Research, the proud producers of huge handguns, is at it again with another goliath caliber in a revolver. Their newest endeavor is complete by bringing to market their BFR (Biggest, Finest Revolver) in the monstrous .500 Linebaugh cartridge. If we ignore rifle cartridges that are melded into handgun platforms, the .500 Linebaugh is the biggest production handgun cartridge ever!

Magnum Research has introduced a new cartridge for their legendary hand cannon – the Desert Eagle pistol. This rebated rim bottleneck cartridge is called .429 DE (Desert Eagle). It is formed by necking down the .50 Action Express case to .44 caliber (.429 diameter bullets).

The Kahr Firearms Group includes Kahrs Arms, Auto Ordnance and Magnum Research and they have been introducing a lot of commemorative 1911 pistols as of late. Their newest additions are the “Squadron,” a case-hardened model, and the “Pledge.” All of these boast a ton of curb appeal and Kahr Firearms Group is banking on consumers buying into the nostalgic look in order to swallow the price tags.

Kahr, along with sister company Magnum Research, has announced no less than seven new handgun models for 2017. The new models include lightweight Desert Eagles, integration of integrated muzzle brakes, and various nice additions to Khar offerings.

Magnum Research announced an upgrade to the BFR line. BFR, which ostensibly stands for Big Frame Revolver, is the company’s line of single action wheel guns. Some of these guns are chambered in seriously powerful cartridges for handguns including the .30-30 Win, .500 S&W Magnum and .45-70 Govt.

Magnum Research, known for their large caliber handguns, has announced the release of their latest versions, this time adding in black tiger stripes. The new coloration is likely oriented for their customers who collect the handguns, as their other colors including…

Magnum Research’s Desert Eagle is a popular gun and with its .50 AE chambering it’s definitely a force to be reckoned with. The Desert Eagle has been around for some time with its creation starting in 1979 and it is used by shooters around the globe. It’s a gas-operated semi-auto and is solid enough to be used as a bludgeoning weapon if you run out of ammo – or simply prefer a more hands-on approach.

Magnum Research announced two new finishes for the Desert Eagle line of pistols: Snakeskin and Kryptek Highlander. The finishes are applied to the gas-operated pistols using a water transfer method. Both .50 AE and .44 Magnum versions will be offered.

The Desert Eagle XIX handgun is one of the more peculiar handguns of the late twentieth century for a variety of reasons. Most handguns introduced in the civilian and military markets are earmarked for a specific purpose, whether that be a polymer reliable Glock or a safer revolver such as the Ruger transfer bar. They’re intend to fill a void, be better than the competition, or meet a certain performance expectation. Then we have the Desert Eagle’s introduction. The large-bore handgun is advertised as a quasi-everything, depending on the market it’s going for. At once, it is a big-bore hunting handgun and novelty item; there are rumors about Special Operations use, it doubles as a target or silhouette shooting piece, it’s an experiment, and later on it gains a healthy following in movies and video games. But from a truly practical shooting perspective, it’s quite hard to justify using it in the first place. It’s too heavy, more expensive than traditional big -bore hunting revolvers, has a complicated gas-operated system, and it’s one of the only handguns to be chambered in its most popular caliber. And yet to this day, its presence is undeniable. Magnum Research is going strong, new models and configurations are coming out every year.

I’ve started gaining interest in install wood and/or laminate stocks for some of my rifles.  I really screwed up and replaced the original stock on my Mosin with a cheap composite and I’ve been unhappy since (and I broke the original stock during the swap).  So now when I see a nice wood stock, I definitely have a new appreciation.

The Desert Eagle has been around since 1982, and one of its incarnations is the Baby Desert Eagle. Not only does the gun have more than three decades under its belt – or under its barrel, as it were – the company behind it is also now celebrating its 30th anniversary. Magnum Research is marking the occasion with an updated Baby Desert Eagle III which will be available with both steel and polymer frame options. The gun will be formally announced at the upcoming NRA Meeting in Nashville, TN.

Magnum Research announced the company is now offering stainless steel variants of the company’s Desert Eagle 1911G, 1911C and 1911U pistols. All models are a Series 70 configuration.
