Looks very nice.  I'm sure it's on par with their past products = exceptional quality!

At exceptional prices. I wonder if it has uniqur features will setit  apart from existing high end .45s? The .454 and .50 were exceptional and unique. I wonder if this will work or they'd have done better sticking with big bore hunting/shillouete pistols in say 10mm or even .30 carbine? I wish them luck, and I sure wouldn't say no if Santa brings me one, but it sure is a crowded market.

my relief (coworker) had a couple Desert Eagles and other firearms. he recently moved to the U.K. (yuck!) and sold them all. the little prick didn't mention they were for sale, or I may have bought the whole lot.


really wanted those Desert Eagles.....  >:(

$799 from the manufacture's web site really isn't that bad!  Finding dealers that carry Magnum Research as regular stock has been a challenge for me though.

Looking closer at the picture.  I'd like to have seen some kind of texture on the front of the grip personally.

I agree, Im a fan of front strap checkering.
