Desert Eagle L5 Pistol, .357 Magnum, 5-Inch Barrel, Black/Chrome

The Desert Eagle L5 pistol in .357 Magnum with a black aluminum frame and brushed chrome steel slide (brand part no. DE357) shortens Magnum Research’s iconic platform to a 5-inch barrel, trimming weight and length while keeping the same gas-operated reliability. Magnum Research builds the pistol with combat-type fixed sights over an 8.5-inch sight radius, and the single-action trigger breaks around 4 pounds. The pistol holds 9+1 rounds, and an ambidextrous safety rounds out the manual-of-arms. Among shortened-barrel semi-auto handguns, this Desert Eagle L5 configuration favors shooters who want magnum power in a more compact package.
