The Magnum Research Desert Eagle CA Compliant .44 Mag pistol is a legendary semiautomatic handgun built for shooters who demand raw power and precision. This gas-operated rotating bolt platform has earned its reputation through decades of reliable performance—whether you're on the range, hunting, or building a serious handgun collection. The CA-compliant model meets state requirements while delivering the full .44 Magnum experience in a well-engineered platform that commands respect on the firing line.

Built on a solid foundation of high-quality carbon steel, this Desert Eagle features a black oxide finish that balances durability with a clean, professional appearance. The 6-inch barrel pairs a polygonal rifling profile with a 1:18-inch twist rate to stabilize heavy .44 Magnum rounds, while the 8.5-inch sight radius and combat-type fixed sights give you a solid foundation for accurate shooting. At just over 4 pounds unloaded, it's hefty enough to manage recoil yet manageable for extended shooting sessions.

The single-action trigger breaks at approximately 4 pounds, designed for deliberate, controlled shots. With an 8-round magazine capacity and dimensions that place it firmly in the full-size category (10.75 inches overall length, 6.25 inches in height), this is a gun that doesn't compromise. The 1.25-inch slide width and 2.75-inch trigger reach accommodate shooters with larger hands comfortably. This isn't a carry gun—it's a statement piece and a legit performer for handgun hunting or serious target work.
