Desert Eagle Grips

New Handguns: Beretta, CZ-USA, Dan Wesson, Kahr Arms, Magnum Research

CZ-USA and Dan Wesson (which is owned by CZ-USA) had a bevy of pistols to show off. One of my favorites was the P07 Duty,

a CZ 75 variant with a green polymer frame. For some reason I’m a sucker for green pistols. I’ve owned a CZ 75 for quite a while, and it’s one of my favorite 9mms. The P07 seems to have a smaller frame, so it fits me really well, and despite the lighter weight as compared to my all-steel 75, the P07 shot great for me.

New from Dan Wesson is the ECO, which, depending on who’s doing the talking, stands for “everyday carry officer.” As the name suggests, it’s an Officer-size 1911 with a good-looking set of grips, probably from VZ. I found the frontstrap checkering a bit sharp, but then it’s an Officer so it’s going to bite a bit. Aside from looks and size, what sets the gun apart is a flat spring, one that’s rated for 15,000 rounds. It will probably sell in the $2,000 neighborhood.

Kahr Arms and Magnum Research Inc. (which Kahr owns) took top honors in the cool-shooting category, but it was almost cheating because MRI was showing off the new limited-run Desert Eagle made by IWI. You can read a bit more on that gun here . The one they had was in .44 Mag., and I could just shoot that thing all day. Interesting difference between the limited IWI guns and the ones built at MRI’s

Minnesota facility: the IWIs have the original two-piece barrel, whereas MRI-built guns have the gas port drilled all the way through. In a concession to modern tastes, the IWI gun has a Picatinny rail on top, which original IWI guns didn’t have.

So that was huge fun to shoot, but so was the other .44 Mag. that MRI brought: the BFR revolver. I leave it to your imagination what BFR stands for, but it’s a big, massively built 5-shot revolver available in 12 powerful chamberings. In .44 Mag. the BFR was almost a pussycat, and aside from that the most fascinating aspect was the cylinder. Spin that sucker and it would keep going like the Energizer Bunny. Some fine machining and design going on there.

Fact is that you had to download the balloon a little 'weight, or would have fallen all the big ocean! The traveler did not want, did not want to lose her friend goose! Yet it was necessary that a weight was being downloaded gros ... and what he knew to have that weight was her dear goose. Nothing more precious, nothing was more important in the steering rack.
