Magnum Research Desert Eagle L5 .357 Mag 5" 9+1 Semi-Auto - New

The Magnum Research Desert Eagle L5 is a modern evolution of the legendary pistol that has captivated shooters and collectors for over 30 years. The iconic Desert Eagle has always been synonymous with raw power and uncompromising performance, appearing in over 500 films and becoming a cultural icon in the firearms world. The L5 variant addresses the one critique of this legendary handgun: its substantial weight. Through innovative engineering with a lightweight aluminum frame, Magnum Research has created a Desert Eagle that's nearly 1 pound lighter than traditional steel-framed models, weighing just 3 pounds 1.6 ounces – making it more manageable for extended range sessions while maintaining the iconic Desert Eagle presence.

This .357 Magnum version features a 5-inch barrel with Magnum Research's signature integral muzzle brake for enhanced control and reduced felt recoil. The hard-coat anodized black aluminum frame is paired with a black carbon steel slide and barrel for durability where it matters most. Unlike typical blowback pistols, the Desert Eagle utilizes a unique gas-operated rotating bolt system – the same technology found in rifles – which allows it to harness powerful magnum cartridges with remarkable reliability. The single-action trigger provides a crisp 4-pound pull for precision shooting. Equipped with Hogue finger groove rubber grips, this pistol offers superior control and comfort. Overall dimensions: 9.75" length, 6.25" height, 1.25" slide width. Includes a Picatinny rail for accessories.

The Desert Eagle L5 delivers the full magnum experience with significantly improved handling characteristics. The weight reduction doesn't compromise the gun's legendary reliability or accuracy – it simply makes this powerhouse more practical for real-world shooting. The .357 Magnum chambering offers excellent versatility, capable of firing both .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition. The reduced weight of the L5 makes it an excellent choice for hunters, target shooters, and collectors who appreciate the Desert Eagle's unique gas-operated system and unmistakable silhouette without the fatigue of the heavier models. This is a New York State compliant firearm due to its lightweight design.

This specific example is in new, unfired condition with the distinctive all-black finish that makes this Desert Eagle both tactical and timeless. Ships with one 9-round magazine. Whether you're a Desert Eagle enthusiast looking for a lighter variant, a magnum revolver shooter curious about semi-auto power, or a collector seeking an iconic American-made handgun, the Desert Eagle L5 delivers legendary performance in a more shootable package. This is your opportunity to own a piece of firearms history that's been refined for modern shooters – lighter, faster, and just as legendary.
