You can just pull the trigger without pulling the hammer when you do this you can pull on the tigger a little and it will not shoot. If you pull the hammer back this give you a hair line tigger so it does not give you and lee way. When I first used a revolver I did not pull the hammer.
Because they are inexperienced with the longer pull of double action mode. If u r gonna use this type of revolver for home/self defense, you NEED to practice DA!!! What are u gonna do if u need to shoot someone? Sit there and cock the hammer before u shoot? If he's armed, ur dead.
@stealthbeast probably because the Desert Eagle is so powerful it sends something like an electric shock up to your elbow. I'm a small woman, that's my opinion.
its a bad boy gun. and to be honest its not as forgiving as a 9mm, so you gotta be accurate with the .38/ .357. CHECK THIS VID: /watch?v=iv1gsWWMWV8 that kid has a wide variety and even shows his target sheets to show the difference
@SHAIAz96 I hate cali and my home town chicago, there anti gun big time and you wonder why they have to most crime, then other states like Florida and other states where they have CCW for the law abiding citizens, one reason why I moved from Chicago to Florida for my right to bear arms and in my area where I live its peaceful and no crime, Why? because every in this area has ccw permit to carry unlike the asshole states cali and chicago where criminals get to mug you and all they can do is nothi
And .600 nitro is nothing compared to a .577 tyrannosaur
I JUST noticed this great wall of rage in my vid Wtf.
Different guns for different people and different situations guys. The Desert Eagle is overrated in media, but it's under-rated in actual practice. Sure it's not PRACTICAL, but what magnum caliber handgun is? And really, all most of us will ever do with our handguns is shoot paper... So really, the FUN of a gun is probably the most important part, of which I think the Eagle does fine.
You illiterate son of a bitch. I did not mention this Call of duty you speak of. I knew of the Desert Eagle since it came into production, and i KNOW it's more powerful than the fucking .357 so relax.
well ive fired a colt 45 9mm 38 special and a .22 i dont like firing powerful guns there just not fun for me.if anyone is thinking of getting a .38 get the 357 magnum its a 7 shot revolver that can also shoot .38 special bullets u get alot more for your money.and dont get a light pistol i wzs at the gun range and the whole thing broke in half!
Not all .357 magnums are 7 shot (Most are 6 shots). I dunno where you got that..
Not all light pistols break (Most don't..). That's an extreme generalisation based on 1 situation.
There's a rare, but select number of models from certain companies that are infamous for breaking. You must've either shot one of these faulty guns (Which do NOT represent all light guns), or an extremely abused weapon.
Actually, the other way around. You cock it with your right for consistency. The more consistant your grab your gun each time, the more accurate you can develop yourself.
Cocking with the left hand is for speed, and the only time cocking the hammer with the left hand will allow for consistency is if you hold it with your left hand's thumb behind the hammer (Which I don't do, not finding it comfortable, and being double-jointed)
Have you had the chance to shoot the 45 ACP and compare it to the 357? I like the idea of a powerful revolver that can also take my 45 ACP bullets if need be.
Check to see if you have any ranges that let you rent firearms.
We only own a 22lr but we frequently rent guns from the range we go to.
I've fired .22lr 9mm 38special .45acp .357 .44mag .454 .50ae and I tried a shotgun once with 12guage federal slugs.
For home defense, I'd say that 12 guage shotgun was a good bet, but as far as handguns go, .45acp seems to be the one for me. PERSONALLY.. I think anything below 9mm/38 special or anything above .357 is innappropriate for self defense.
It's ignorant of me to judge you, but I don't think someone who's only shot .22 lr can say that they prefer heavier rounds XD
I enjoy the concept of a larger round protecting me, but what I mean is, i wouldn't want anything bigger than a .357 for self defense purposes me due to the low repeatability, and absolute overkill. Theres no need to pull out a heavyass .454 revolver and double-action that pipe of a round into the chest of your assailant.
Especially the first time you shoot it. At the time of this vid, i never shot anything higher than a .45. So this felt quite strong. Though you don't see too huge of a difference in 38 to 357 in my arms, you definatly feel it in real life.
These were rentals at our range. Just trying all the calibers.
I'm not sure if we were members at this time or not. So it could have ranged between maybe $40 or less to $80 or more.
If we weren't members, we would have to pay the $20 dollar range time, and the 20 dollar rental plus the cost of ammo. If we were, we would just have been paying for the ammo.

Yeah its more powerful than a .357. but a .357 is realistic and more practical when it comes to self defense/home defense so on...

Try cocking the hammer with your left hand, that way you don't have to re-grip the gun when you cock it.

Actually, the other way around. You cock it with your right for consistency. The more consistant your grab your gun each time, the more accurate you can develop yourself.

stealthbeast 3 years ago
its a single or double action revolver?
morazulp 3 years ago
Double, but I was firing it single.
You can usually tell if a revolver is single action by the hammer and the trigger. The hammer is usually recurved, and it will have a hairtrigger.

rigoletto68 3 years ago
Oh yeah
Huge difference. There's a complete difference between the .45acp and the .357 magnum.
The .357 has so much more kick to it than the .45. Not rediculous, but its alot more. .45acp isn't anything like a magnum round.
Thats just me though.
