Magnum Research | Desert Eagle L5 | .50 AE | 5 Barrel

The Magnum Research Desert Eagle L5 in .50 AE is a large-frame single-action semi-automatic pistol built for powerful big-bore performance and presence. This listing describes the Shooter’s Model, which are new in the box and may show very slight finish imperfections from manufacturing. For optics, a compact red-dot such as a Trijicon RMR Type 2 pairs well with this platform and falls under $1000, providing a durable, low-profile aiming solution suitable for the slide profile.

Recommended applications include big-game handgun hunting and long-range silhouette or metal-target shooting where heavy-hitting, large-caliber handguns are appropriate.
