General Features/Mark XIX & Mark VII

The Desert Eagle Pistol is a gas-operated, semi-automatic pistol with a rotating bolt for positive lock-up. The barrel is locked in place, assuring a high degree of accuracy. Maximum effective range with the standard 6-inch barrel is 200 meters (650 ft.).
The polygonal rifling reduces barrel wear and enhances the obturation between the bullet and the bore, thus increasing accuracy.
Anatomically formed grip, ideal hand seating angle and comfortable grip dimensions permit rapid, accurate, instinctive shooting. The combat-type trigger guard is designed for two-handed shooting.
The Desert Eagle Pistol fires standard factory ammunition. When the last round in the magazine is fired, the slide remains in its maximum recoil position, permitting rapid change of magazine and immediate chambering of a round for instant resumption of firing.

General Features/Mark XIX
The 7/8" dovetail rib on the barrel has cross slots to accommodate scope rings (available as an option). This integral scope base means no additional mounting hardware is required.

Safety/Mark XIX & Mark VII
The safety is ambidextrous - it can be operated by right-handed and left-handed shooters. When the safety is on, the firing pin is blocked, disconnecting the trigger bar from the sear at the same time. Extensive tests in accordance with military specifications include drop tests that show the Desert Eagle is safe from accidental firing.

Construction/Mark XIX & Mark VII
Desert Eagle Pistol parts are machined or precision-cast and machined to strict military standards from high-quality steel.
