[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 3098786, member: 109862"] I’ve shot the desert eagle .44 magnum version and in my VERY limited experience it did not inspire confidence…now this may be because it was a rimmed round out of a magazine but that thing jammed or failed to feed more than once in the session I got to play with the thing. Additionally, it felt like wielding a cinder block to me AND doesn’t have a meaningful capacity advantage over a revolver in my opinion, for whatever it’s worth. I’d vote revolver all day OR if it must be a semi auto pistol it wouldn’t be the desert eagle. All handgun rounds are underkill on big bears anyway, but for a semi maybe one of the .460 Rowland guns? Or even the 10mm? Again, very small round for a very big critter but if the op is intimately familiar with glocks to begin with perhaps a glock 10mm with those buffalo bore or underwood hard casts might be a good compromise? Certainly more bone breaking and penetrating ability than any 9mm! [/QUOTE]
