Few handguns are as instantly recognizable as the Desert Eagle. Magnum Research's Mark XIX uses a gas-operated, rotating-bolt action borrowed from rifle design rather than a conventional recoil-operated slide, which is precisely what allows a semi-automatic pistol to handle full-house magnum revolver cartridges.

This one is chambered in .44 Magnum with a 6-inch barrel and a brushed chrome finish that shows off the pistol's slab-sided lines. The considerable weight soaks up recoil far better than most expect, and the integral rail makes optics easy. It is a hunting, silhouette, and range showpiece.
