I am new to guns and have a question about one. I know I want to get one and I want a Desert Eagle. What is a good price for a .50 Cal Desert Eagle and whats the best place in the Northern California to get one?

I looked at one when I bought my Sig, those fuckers are expensive. They sell them at the local gun shops. Would they sell a gun that is illegal? I am not pro, but now I am curious too.

Ditto... and if you don't mind me asking, why do you want that specific handgun? Consider these two things - 1. You are new to firearms. 2. That weapon is rated high on the ridiculous overkill scale. As a beginner you would be better off starting with a small caliber pistol and learning the basics of shooting for much less $$. Good luck either way ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

I want the desert eagle cause I like the way it looks and thats what I want. I know the .45 version is legal in CA just not sure about the .50. To practice I will just rent a smaller gun but I know I only want to buy that particular gun.

I wouldn't call myself an 'Expert' but i am certainly an enthusiast. If you are hell bent on buying a desert eagle then go for it..its your right and your money. Any gun store should be able to get you one. In other words, dont drive 2hrs to 'my boys gun store hit him up yo' to save a few bucks. Personally though, i can think of dozens of hand guns id have before that. They are big and heavy, expensive to shoot, and better suited for Hollywood in my opinion.

Thats true. But I just like the looks and its not something I am going to take to the range very often. I have always just wanted one from the first time I saw one.

That's plenty of justification for getting any gun IMO.
Why not just buy two guns? You want a .50 cal... but maybe you won't shoot it as much as you think? Who know... Why not get a little .40 Glock to go with it? That way you have the one you want plus one that is FAR cheaper to shoot on a daily basis.

I feel you on the looks of the Desert E. It immediately grabbed my attention until I saw the price tag. I am new to guns too, I recommend the Glock 40 or Sig. You can get a black sig for cheaper than the silver one. The Sig kicks harder than my 40, but I shoot better with my Sig, I think because it is heavier.

The gun is def. legal in Ca so no problem there. I would reccomend you get a different gun as well though. Have you looked at the price of .50 ammo? Shiet... every time you shoot its like.... 1 dollar....1 dollar....1 dollar. Unload a clip and it just cost you $15... not fun. I realize your kinda stuck on the gun but you should realy look into something else. The Baby Eagle comes in 9mm which is cheep and fun. Same design in a smaller overall gun and SMALLER pricetag. If you cant afford to shoot, you're gonna have a $1500 paperweight.

Yeah they are effin’ savage homie… never shot one, but always wanted to…
Every time I go into Wild Sports up here by my house I see that .50 desert eagle and think of one fucking thing… the game Counterstrike. LOL… oh how badass it would be to own one.
But then I look at a box of ammo and the “Fuckin’ just do the damn thing, son” part of my brain is overruled by the “Stop being an unrealistic moron and think of something better to do with your hard earned money” part of my brain. lol

I was told to check out target masters so maybe Ill check out the the Baby Eagle. But If I do decide to buy the .50 I wont be upset if I spend like $30 a month to go to the range. I see that the clip only holds 7 shots?

It will likely look like a target with 3 holes in it.

$30 a month on ammo...start with a gun you can afford.
You can't buy a Desert Eagle in .50 cal from a gun dealer in Ca.

No law whatsoever prohibits the installation of the 50 Action Express barrel onto a Desert Eagle originally sold as a 44 Magnum.
