I have shot A couple of them. Both of them were in in .44 mag. In my experience with them, they jam a lot. I don’t like the feel of them. They feel more like a hammer than a pistol. The Desert Eagle is the only IMI firearm I don’t like. Being a firearms instructor, I have shot a lot of different firearms. Other than most of your junk guns, the Desert Eagle and the Beretta M9 are two of the only guns I took a disliking to right off the bat.

Personal tastes, I suppose. I took a liking to mine the second I picked it up at the dealer. I never had a jam, FTF, or FTE to with mine. Once I put the Pachmayer finger groove grip on it, I could actually rapid fire it and keep rounds on target. The only "flaw" is that once in every two or three mags, one of the trash-can sized cases would eject right towards the shooter's face. I found it a good way to onvince people of the need for shooting glasses :-)

It's certainly a large weapon, but I found mine to be accurate far beyond anything I'd expected it to be, and exceptionally well made. I never shot a .44 DE. I'm wondering if the rimmed cartridge may have caused the jamming issues you experienced....
