BE ADVISED.... if you reload for this gun, pay special attention to the powders you use. Desert Eagles can seize up the rotating bolt if there is too much dirt/carbon buildup in the action. When it happened to a friend of mine back in Californistan, it was a trip to the gunsmith to get it freed up. After that, he paid a lot more attention to the kind of powders he reloaded with, and the problem went away.

PS: forget the holster. Buy a caisson and a set of wheels for it, and hitch it to the back of your ride.
I like the caisson idea. Won't be reloading, yet. This one will eat only factory ammo of a good quality.

Re: New Addition

May require a holster position where I can employ a two-handed drawing ability.
I've got fairly large hands, but ...... I do like the suspender suggestion.
Otherwise after drawing the gun, the pants are too loose and fall down.

Re: New Addition

First I need to find a belt to hold up my pants. My 2" can't get it done.

New Addition

We (my son and I) have a new addition. Finally bought a Desert Eagle XIX Tungsten in .44mag.
Have wanted one for years. Can't wait to feel it go "BANG".
