[Handgun] - $2520 - Desert Eagle 50AE Polished Chrome

[-]

PossibleLettuce42@reddit

It's an iconic, awesome gun, but for 2500 bones you'd be nuts not to get a Nighthawk, Wilson, Springfield 10-8, Staccato, etc. which is also awesome and also very functional and practical.

If you're a lucky enough duck to have 2500 fully burnable dollars and a good Agent Smith impression, though, I get it.

[-]

Ironsight85@reddit

I don't think people are buying desert eagles for the practicality.

[-]

RuinedGrave@reddit

I think most of us can agree that people buy them for the cool factor.

And then there’s the crazy mofo running one in USPSA.

[-]

There are actually two of us running em in matches, though the other guys is 357 magnum and mines 44 magnum. I just haven't taken as much footage and I'm nowhere even close to proficient with mine as he is

[-]

Ironsight85@reddit

Well now I have to run 50ae

[-]

RuinedGrave@reddit

There’s someone doing it.

radioactive_muffin@reddit

Wonder if he reloads for training ammo. That's gotta be pricey to get that time in with it to still beat a dozen people.

[-]

carkidd3242@reddit

Switching to your secondary was NOT faster than reloading.

[-]

Quw10@reddit

Didn't know about the 50ae guy. I only knew about the guy running an older 357 magnum one. Guess I'll have to get the 50ae barrel now.

[-]

Quw10@reddit

Buy you a few extractor springs beforehand. Newer models use a polymer/rubber one and there is a chance it can melt if you run the gun hard enough.

[-]

icannothelpit@reddit

The 2nd one is very practical. Keeps me from falling over.

[-]

FinickyPenance@reddit

dm me if you find a nighthawk for 2500

[-]

cropguru357@reddit

Or a Wilson

[-]

PossibleLettuce42@reddit

Christ on a bike, I guess I hadn't looked at them for a moment.

[-]

GreenOwl420@reddit

Saw a 1911 nighthawk sell for 1900 the other day at my lgs. The guy selling it must have either hated it or really needed the cash because I know the store takes some of that too. The 2011 models were still priced normally though

[-]

Dtxnassty95@reddit

🤣 seriously I’ve had sandhawk alerts on gunbroker for the last two years I haven’t seen anything cheaper than 5500

[-]

Nutsack_VS_Acetylene@reddit

True, but buying literally any of the guns you mentioned instead of a chromed out 50AE Desert Eagle is gayer than 3 dudes blowing 4 dudes.

[-]

TheBlackComet@reddit

Unless you need one of the fancy finishes, I recommend buying used. Most have a very low round count.

[-]

AKsuited1934@reddit

Most LOL? Practically all of them have a round count of under 100

Get your AR blessed by the Iron Rod Ministries afterwards. Also, by the Moonies. I want to do it for funsies, like getting a tarot reading, but I don't want to get sucked into a cult.

I go to pawn shops for my magnums, like a normal person

[-]

Sandwich_Hands@reddit

I get them from convenience stores. Sometimes the pharmacy

[-]

weJtiddeR@reddit

Delon Rx?? Theyre based AF. A gun store and a pharmacy

[-]

Sandwich_Hands@reddit

Great, one stop shop for both of the magnums i need

[-]

Phyraxus56@reddit

My local pawn shop doesn't even sell pistols

[-]

1541drive@reddit

A pawn shop that doesn't carry firearms is called a Harbor Freight.

[-]

Bortjort@reddit

daaamn just imagined if harbor freight made cheap electric guitars that would kick a little ass

[-]

1541drive@reddit

they would. they have a $60 handgun light that every once in a while drop to $30-40.

[-]

Opening_Fish_7631@reddit

Not a deal. Not a deal. Not a deal. Not a deal. Not a deal. We don’t care about “in stock”.

[-]

JonathanJoestar336@reddit

Iv always wanted a desert eagle but Its very hard to justify in my mind paying 2500$ for a handgun

I can buy a .308 sbr for less than that handgun

But with all that being said......the desert eagle is still on my retirement list

[-]

Euphoric911@reddit

The fact that yours has "REPLICA" written on the side of it, and mine has Desert Eagle point five-oh on it...

[-]

HyperionArmament@reddit

I understand where you're coming from, but there are quite a few modern handguns that command well over $2500, some for good reason and others not so much. My gold Deagle is certainly a meme gun.

Heck, I'm pretty sure I saw a $14k mall ninja 2011 that sold instantly the other day. Plenty of those going for $6k+ for no discernable reason. Even more mundane stuff like Staccatos, Sigs and CZ have production-adjacent models going for well over a couple grand. Then there's collectables...

[-]

JonathanJoestar336@reddit

14k ?

My eyes lol

[-]

DrKhanMD@reddit (OP)

Tbf if you're content with a black oxide finish and 44/357 they can be had far more in the 1-2k range.

Any of the factory fun finishes typically hover around 2-3k price point from what I've seen.

I have one of the earlier Israeli made Mk7's in 44 mag in black oxide I snagged for 1.1k for example.

[-]

JonathanJoestar336@reddit

Iv considered buying the black .44 before

[-]

SplashingBlumpkin@reddit

I built a case hardened .50 with gold accents and the walnut grips on their site and it was $4300.

I held a case hardened .357 with some gold accents and the walnut grips a week or so ago and it was stunningly beautiful but also something like $3500.

[-]

LilFuniAZNBoi@reddit

I have one in black with gold controls. I always told myself I need another Deagle in chrome to do "Ebony and Ivory."

Unfortunately, I just picked up an MR762, so no funds.

[-]

Ready-Landscape6007@reddit

Terrible price. The all gold/striped gold used to be cheaper than this

[-]

Echo_Raptor@reddit

I found one on a local group with some kind of distressed white cerakote on a local page for $1300 back during Covid and jumped on it. Shot it one range trip and sold it. These things are memes at this point

[-]

AlexanderDaDecent@reddit

Tell me you bought it thinking “New home defense gun baby 50ae” Lol

[-]

Echo_Raptor@reddit

I bought it thinking it would be a lot of fun at the range lol. I’m blessed I still have my hand after that trip. The recoil wasn’t near as bad as I thought it would be but I pulled the trigger, had a click, racked the slide and nothing came out. Racked it again and nothing came out. Reloaded the mag, pulled the trigger, click, racked the slide and the round came out. There was a round stuck down in it.

[-]

DrKhanMD@reddit (OP)

When wasn't the desert eagle a meme gun? haha

[-]

Echo_Raptor@reddit

Good point lol

[-]

DrKhanMD@reddit (OP)

Not that I look super hard, but I haven't seen a factory gold or tiger stripe 50AE for sale at MSRP in like 3-4 years. They've also upped the pricing on all the deagles in the last couple years quite a bit.

[-]

HelpFromTheBobs@reddit

My local Scheels has a gold in .50 AE for ~$2400.

Only one I've seen locally in years though.

[-]

DrKhanMD@reddit (OP)

Actually which scheels though 👀

[-]

HelpFromTheBobs@reddit

I will let you know once I decide whether I want to sell some precious metals and buy it. :)

[-]

hlgb2015@reddit

Aint no metal more precious than a gold deagle in 50ae.

[-]

eekeek636@reddit

Banger line right there

[-]

KaneIntent@reddit

How reliable are these things? I feel like people make them out to be jam o matics.

[-]

Mountain_Man_88@reddit

They're very reliable but picky on ammo. Magnum Research has a list of ammo that's good to go, if you only run stuff on that list you'll have no problems. A lot of people will shell out $2500 for one of these, cheap out on ammo, and then complain that it doesn't run well.

[-]

weJtiddeR@reddit

You mean i cant run Tula steel case in this thing!!?!?!! Wtf!

(sarcasm)

[-]

burritoresearch@reddit

I have heard that cleaning fouling out of the gas tube is an incredible pain in the ass. Same thing the other guy commenting here says about shooting "clean" rounds.

[-]

Battle_Intense@reddit

They like it hot which is hard to find in 44 and much harder in 357.

[-]

Ragnarok112277@reddit

Not if you loaf your own

[-]

HelpFromTheBobs@reddit

Every video I have looked at lately had jams in it. Maybe if you kept it spotless and only used jacketed ammo you'd be okay?

[-]

Ok-Basket-894@reddit

I use hornadys in mine and clean after every range trip because of how much the damn thing costs 😂

[-]

DrKhanMD@reddit (OP)

They really don't like unjacketed or rounds, or anything with exposed lead. They're gas operated, and things like lead wadcutters will foul the gas tube really quickly. Cleaning lead fouling from the gas tube on them is also a pain in the ass.

Most 50AE stuff is gonna be fine, but the 357/44 world is full of lead wadcutters from cowboy guns.

[-]

bat_man_0_0@reddit

I want this one.

Blem black nickel

What the... this much and it's a blem?

[-]

DannyMeatlegs@reddit

My local LGS has one in 44 mag for $2150 I believe

[-]

TheGreatSockMan@reddit

I would’ve sworn these were $700 and a go to for underfunded counter terrorist units going up against armored enemies

[-]

TheBrownSlaya@reddit

Someone named Sr. Juan Deag ordered a bunch of these last week

[-]

LilGayKIdd@reddit

Back in source yeah but now I'd rather buy armor p250 and not get rag dolled by smg bullets.

[-]

ajw_sp@reddit

Here’s a two tone brushed chrome for $1,959.99

[-]

DrKhanMD@reddit (OP)

Thats hideous, lol.

I'm really only posting this because it's the full cosplay model that is normally quite a bit harder to find: non-comped, 50AE, polished chrome.

[-]

ChinesePinkAnt@reddit

Oh Mama Mia

[-]

SH-Flintlock@reddit

Got a lightly used one for $1700 like 2 months ago. Check your local shops.

[-]

DrKhanMD@reddit (OP)

Was it specifically a 50AE in polished chrome though? I can find "regular" finishes or 44/357 deagles for decent prices all day. I haven't seen a chrome, case hardened, gold, or tiger finished 50AE for anywhere less than 2.5k in like 5+ years.

[-]

SH-Flintlock@reddit

No, not polished chrome. It’s still a 50AE tho. I guess if the polished chrome finish is worth the $800 upcharge then someone will be happy with it lol. I wonder how much it would cost to have a gunsmith refinish it in chrome?

[-]

DrKhanMD@reddit (OP)

Oh it's 1000% cheaper to after market coat it yourself for basically any of their finishes. Most places are gonna come in well under $800 even for something like hard chroming and polishing.

From a "collector" stand point, the finishes do have unique UPCs, and I have seen people whine over "real" gold tiger stripe (factory finish/upc) vs one that a coating company applied after the fact.
