Desert Eagle 44magnum Snubbed By The Academy Awards: S&W 629 Competitor: Accuracy Velocity Test

[@edkey3302]

I have a competitor, it has become my favorite gun

[@albertkranbuhljr6318]

I have an older model with the hard chrome finish, it has the 6 inch barrel and I changed the sights out to adjustable ones. The old ones had no scope mount provisions built standard on top of the barrel. Mine has been very reliable and very accurate, my only complaint is the trigger pull, not heavy but what I call spongy.

[@socalplinker]

Love that 629… hoping to own one someday..

[@GhostRiderUSA]

Nice Desert Eagle! I've had the pleasure of shooting them in 44, 50 and 429DE.

[@Dayattherange]

429DE wow

[@rickpullins8590]

I have the 629 classic. I love it. Great video.

[@Dayattherange]

Thank you Rick

[@kevingoza]

Oh my brother, I will take the S&W any day! That is one accurate handgun!! And anyways, .44 mag. and big wheel gun just go together!! Yeah…I want one!

[@callahan1971]

I'd love to see a proper test with 10 shot groups. Looks like that S&W is a shooter!

[@brendonbenson]

Now that's a proper pistol. Nice shooting mate 👍

[@Dayattherange]

Thanks Brendon

[@cervus-venator]

I've never shot one. I don't think I could get my meat hooks around the grip enough to hold on to it. Looks like you had a lot of fun shooting this beast. I know I really enjoy shooting my 45-70 rifle for likely the same reasons. Enjoyed it and thanks.

[@Dayattherange]

If ever given the opportunity CV to shoot one don't pass it up even if it is just one shot.

[@scorpion520az8]

My personal preference 44 Magnum formula = S&W Wheel-gun + Eagle Grips “Select Rosewood” Combat Grips + Hornady Lever-evolution 225 Grain 44 Magnum FTX. 😈 That DE sure looks like a lot of fun though. 😎 Enjoyable Vid👍

[@Dayattherange]

Thanks Scorpion those Eagle Grips the ones I have seen are nice looking and functional

[@wadelandeche8632]

Yea I was listening to that 10mm comment! Looking great my friend!

[@Dayattherange]

I told my wife just yesterday I need to check on Wade he has said anything about my 10MM comment in the video lol.

[@kairandson4886]

I've bought seven .50AE Deagles in the last six months. Jam-o-matic? The first mag taught me to brace my elbow a little more consciously. Since then, I've never had a problem. Others who fire them, not recognizing they need to brace for more recoil, they'll get failures to go into battery and stuff, but they're obviously not bracing it properly when they flag the sun god on every shot. The stereotype is that Deagle reliability is similar to my video game skill level. I'm happy to see more people are seeing that change. As far as I can tell, with my experience, they're no longer the titan paper weights people think they are. My gaming skill still sucks, though.

[@kairandson4886]

Also, there's no question that you can put a little more energy into your handloads for the Deagle. The pressures out of a .50AE, which is obviously the caliber that the Deagle is more commonly known for, is significantly higher than your handloads. I'd say put the power of Thor into them, see if you can hit 1800fps with your .44 mag loads. For science.

[@125saito]

Accuracy test please Mr. Big Guy. Man the Desert Eagle is a handful.

[@Dayattherange]

DB that does sound like it can be fun

[@absolute99proof]

Great comparison!

[@Dayattherange]

[@CesarChavez-bn6iv]

I do want the burnt bronze Cali approved desert eagle and the 629 competitor performance center and a 686 one as well I’m on a gun purchase timeout until December/January 😂😂😂😂😂 but them three will be on my list to get

[@bobjohnson1633]

My brother had a DE in 44 mag. It jammed constantly. The DE was made only to cycle the 50ae, so the 44 mag just was not reliable. They solved this issue with the 44DE, which is a .429 necked down 50ae. I guess they fixed the issue by changing the overall design, anyway?

[@Dayattherange]

I think it is a 50AE case necked down to .429.

[@ernestocuello2709]

I’m having the same problem but reversed, my desert eagle chambers .44 magnum perfect and I rarely get any jams, bought a .50AE barrel to shoot both calibers and I’m jamming usually every 3 rounds with the .50AE I found the issue and I know it’s magazine related, my .44 mags work great but my .50AE mags are super stiff.

[@darrelltrout]

It was chambered in 357 and 44 mag about a decade before 50 ae was invented. 50 ae was made for the gun, the gun was not made for the caliber.

[@JoeArchuleta-gm5tq]

JUST ordered a S&W Competitor yesterday! Can't wait for it to arrive! .44 magnum is meant for a wheel gun, sorry!

[@Dayattherange]

You will have something nice on your hands -- let us know how it does.

[@JoeArchuleta-gm5tq]

@@Dayattherange I sure will 👍

[@carlosmorris4510]

Nice!... That DE is certainly interesting. Have you fired a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan .44 Mag before?... They're very comfortable (and fun) to shoot.

[@Dayattherange]

Shot the Super Redhawk Alaskan in 454 before 😲😲

[@theghost065]

8:04 Mike Tyson would be so proud

[@kamiazhong1369]

Hi, how can I contact you to review our product?

[@donaldballman2825]

The revolver gave you a better grouping but I'm thinking you've shot the revolver more

[@Dayattherange]

Yes sir that revolver is made for accuracy it also just feels like an extension of my find which I believe all play a part.

[@donaldballman2825]

@@Dayattherange I understand what your saying I've been shooting revolvers for a long time and I can shoot more accurately with them

[@fishhead991]

Revolver all the way big guy.

[@Dayattherange]

It won't take much convincing with me LOL

[@876mpr]

I’d like to see the accuracy test, but I’m not sure the Deagle does. Don’t you just hate velocity “flyers”?

[@stangaloski4208]

Use h110 powder and a max charge. My desert eagle only likes hot rounds and a powder that produces copious amounts of flame throwing gas that h110 provides.

[@davidgolden1776]

What distance were you shooting at ?

[@Dayattherange]

14yards

[@bobjohnson1633]

44 feet for the 44m?

[@Texas2Step79]

I've considered this in .357 mag..

[@deannalemburg10]

I could never shoot tight groups with gloves on when it warms up bring out your hotter loads and let's see the eagle soar this late spring

[@Dayattherange]

Let's see what we can do.

[@johnbailey2034]

I don’t care for that gun at all .

[@Mr_King_dxd381]

Yeah, I just got me a Desert eagle 44 not long ago just waiting for it to come in so I can pick it up I shouted this eagle when I was younger, but it was it but it shot 50 rounds or what is the typical name for it? But it was my families desert Eagle. but I heard the 44 Desert eagle. Accuracy, much better and don’t get jammed up as much as the 50. which is good which I will find out when I get it. this is the first time only one for myself because when I was young, I shot my families not my own so it’ll be cool experience to learn things for myself because my family was strict so I didn’t really get a chance to learn very well. So any advice besides what is on the video? Like cleaning of ice and other stuff. Because I own mini firearms, but I know some of them are cleaned little bit different than others.
