You're joking right? The .50 AE Desert Eagle is not a practical weapon at all for self defense. Purely a recreational gun.

What do you think my friend? Stevens Pocket Rifle circa 1890. Single shot .22 or .25 caliber. 15" inch barrel (mine is octagonal) with hooded fore-sight and rear peep sight. Blued and nickel-plated finish. Varnished walnut grips.

Yeah, I was, more or less. Truth is, I have little or no need for self defense where I live. I'm fairly isolated. And, I don't have to reach far for either a 12 gauge pump with a full magazine, or a 1-wood, or even a '73 Winchester should I choose. The DE is a lot of fun to shoot, and I think I could put it to use for self-defense if I wanted to, but I was being a smart-aleck.
