that this is not just some fancy pistol but something from other world. This is just huge CANNON, that un- loaded weights little under two kilograms! Add to that overall length that is over 27 centimeters and high of 16 centimeters (Glock 19 is just 1,5 cm longer that Desert Eagle is tall…). We load the magazine. Enormous, why not. Looks little like magazines from TT or Colt 1911A1 – single stack, full steel and flat. Loading is not something complicated, you just have to remember about mak- ing adjustment for ammunition with rim that stick out. We put the weapon in our hands and here comes first problems. We write about the weight so here is about the rest. Grip of the Desert Eagle is huge – people with small hand will have a problem with good grip. People with medium hand will encounter significant discomfort. Shooting will be for those with big hands (quite tolera- bly) and with very big hands (quite comfortable). Grip is quite dumpy, and at the same time just too wide. Levers – huge. Placed ergonomically, but weight and size of the handgun makes the handling hard. You don't have big hands? Forget about releasing the magazine without changing the grip. You cannot band railroad track with your fingers? Pity, because you cannot re- lease slide with thumb of your firing hand. Maybe you can take the safety off and that will be quite a suc- cess. Reloading – and here is big surprise. There is no point to compare it to Glock but puling the slide to the rear does not require inhuman power, at least that we can do… IN ACTION
