Bedrock Bob 4,191 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 A Trump Eagle? Isn't that the one that measures .50 at the muzzle and tapers to .22 at the chamber? 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BMc 1,048 Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Well no, not originally, but it might as well be. I thought it was strange, funny, and now that you mention it, ridiculous as well. I've never been a big fan of engraved hand guns (at least for personal ownership), but I am struck by the outlandish price and apparent demand illustrated in the ad for the 92 F. Who in their right mind would pay that much for an engraved hand gun? Even for a celebrity engraving like the one shown? What does that tend to indicate, I wonder? 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some sort of brain eating parasite? Declining testosterone levels? Edited April 17, 2020 by Bedrock Bob Added declining testosterone levels. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bedrock Bob 4,191 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I owned a Desert Eagle at one point. I didn't enjoy shooting it and components were scarce and expensive. I had a beautiful Colt 1911 Delta Elite in 10mm. It was a real classic that really packed a wallop. It never got a place in my heart. I honestly do not like the way most autoloaders handle. There is a lot of movement up there and the bigger the gun the more there is. I find that a big annoyance. And the triggers are always an issue until you can get them right. Some you just can't get right. I guess im just a revolver guy. A good ol fashioned .44 or .357 S&W is hard to beat. Right out of the box they are just about as good as a handgun gets. A man's choice of weapons says a lot about him. I just wouldn't want to send the message that a gun like the Trump Eagle would send. I much prefer my .44. It is shiny on the sides from years of drawing and shooting it. No fancy crap and no reality show host turned politician name. Just a quality tool well worn in and perfectly suitable for turning beer bottles into grit. I'm not bashing anyone that likes the Trump Eagle. The message they are sending is loud and clear. I just don't care for the message. I prefer to send a different one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
