Desert Eagle Glock - In the mid-1980s, the powerful new handgun quickly gained popularity. The Desert Eagle was an innovative design that converted from heavy revolver cartridges to a semi-automatic pistol platform. The pistol appeared in dozens of action movies, and although it was expensive and not widely used by the military, the Desert Eagle gained a cult following.
Traditionally, heavier bullet calibers such as .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum were used exclusively in revolvers. Revolvers with fewer moving parts are mechanically stronger and can withstand the stress of heavier guns. Semi-automatic pistols, on the other hand, are limited to .45 ACP or smaller calibers. If a gun enthusiast wanted a .357 or .44 Magnum pistol, he was limited to revolvers.

Desert Eagle changed all that. First introduced in 1983, it was unlike any other handgun in common use. The breech face, which uses multiple prongs to lock the battery, comes from the M-16 and AR-15 family of rifles. Unlike other pistols where the barrel is fixed in place and instead of using a recoil system, the Desert Eagle uses a gas piston system derived from the Ruger Mini-14 semi-automatic rifle. This is necessary to accommodate higher chamber pressures and recoil when using heavier caliber bullets. Traditional firearms rely on energy from firing the gun to drive the bolt backward and cycle the action. He grabbed the breech empty cartridge case and spat it out, took a fresh round from the magazine and slowly cocked the pistol.

The larger bullets fired by the Desert Eagle release too much energy to make the recoil system practical (or safe), so designers turned their attention to a system that controls how much energy is put into the weapon's rotation. When the user pulls the Desert Eagle's trigger, the gas system expels some hot powder gases from the barrel and drives a piston. Although the gas piston system was common in rifles, it was not known among handguns, mainly because it was simply unnecessary. In a sense, the Desert Eagle is part revolver, part rifle, and part rifle.
Features of the Desert Eagle rifle have the advantage of controlling recoil – an important factor in a large caliber pistol. Reverse gases soften the recoil, and one well-known gun critic said, "Firing this .357 Magnum is no worse than pulling the trigger on a Glock 19."
The production history of the rifle is a turbulent one: the Desert Eagle was first produced by Israel Military Industries (IMI) for the American company Magnum Research, but was transferred to the Mein Sako Defense Company in 1995. Production returned to IMI and Israel in 1998, but was transferred to Magnum Research in Minnesota in 2009. Magnum Research was acquired by Kahr Arms in 2010, but continues to manufacture Desert Eagles at its original facility.
The Desert Eagle was first produced in 1985 in .357 Magnum. The .357 Magnum version has a six-inch barrel, a nine-round magazine, and a Weaver-style accessory rail compatible with telescopic sights and red dot optics. The Desert Eagle was nearly eleven inches long, over six inches tall, and weighed four and a half pounds unloaded—twice as much as a loaded Glock 17. The Desert Eagle is also made in eight-round .44 Magnum. Also dimensionally similar to the .357 Magnum and .50 Action Express version, it has the same dimensions but holds seven rounds.

The Desert Eagle is not officially claimed by any major armed forces or police, and is primarily the domain of gun enthusiasts and hunters. If the gun malfunctions, the impact force of a desert eagle can mean the difference between a successful hunt or serious injury. The gun is also very popular in Hollywood, appearing in dozens of movies and TV shows. It is a popular sidekick in today's video games, where it has earned the nickname "Tiggle".
The Desert Eagle is a popular weapon with limited practical use. That didn't stop it from massive popularity, and the Desert Eagle's large frame became synonymous with the big gun idea. A gun with the guts of a gun isn't going away anytime soon.
