Has anyone fired a Desert Eagle (50 cal)? Man it is a blast! literally. No practical use, though.

Too heavy. Feel like I need a tripod. The grip is too big and did I mention it's too heavy? Look, when AHnold straps one on for a movie role ("Commando") I know it's too big for me.

Yes. Another brass spitter. Not bad to shoot. The Ruger .454 Casull is far more vicious in the recoil department. I've fired the LAR Grizzly in 45 magnum as well. It is a 1911 design with a stippled backstrap. I held a 2 inch group in 10 shots at 25 yards. The web of my hand was "stippled" when I finished. The owner of the Grizzly swapped me a full mag of .45 magnum for a similar experience with the .454 Casull. The .454 leaves you feeling exhausted and quivering after 20 shots of 300 gr JHP moving at 1500 fps. Nap time. The Grizzly owner decided 3 rounds was plenty.

No, but I've fired a Barrett 50, and yes it is a blast!
