Oh yeah, New York. I keep forgetting that commie places exist in this great country. Makes sense, even if i'd still go with something else. Also, don't get a deagle unless you're getting it for shits and giggles, Ambush. They have a tendency to jam plus they're fucking humongous. By don't he means definitely. 4 lb pistol makes a lot of sense if you need to throw it at someone.

Oh, is his avatar on here actually him? Yeah that changes things, but still, having a tendency to jam isn't good. Personally, i'd get a revolver if I wanted to blow giant holes in people. How bad is the deagles jamming problem in .44? IMO unless the jamming problem is happening every other shot. I'd think it'd be faster to clear a deagle than a problem from a revolver. Point is that the revolver wouldn't typically encounter a problem. However, good point about the different chambering. I have no experience with the .44 version and haven't looked into it online or anything. Could work flawlessly for all I know.

Bad if you limp wrist it or use a low power load in it. It is an interesting pistol, if only because it is gas operated and designed for rimmed cartridges, unlike most other semiautomatics.

Also, don't get a deagle unless you're getting it for shits and giggles, Ambush. They have a tendency to jam plus they're fucking humongous. The tendency to jam comes from shooting underpowered ammunition. There is a wide variety in power among the .44 magnum ammo brands, some are loaded relatively mildly, others are totally HOT, which is no problem in Revolvers. The Desert Eagle is gas operated and needs a certain amount of gas pressure to work reliably, it is known that the Eagle needs really hot stuff. Since I make my own ammunition having a jamming Desert Eagle is an issue I can fix very easily. Also its non-forgiving to limp-wristing, you need to keep your wrists tight so the action has enough resistance to cycle. If you have weak wrists and the pistol moves backwards really fast with little resistance its going to jam. Actually, I like those quirks because they basically mean the Desert Eagle wants to shoot really hot ammunition and must be fired by a person who knows what they are doing. Oh, is his avatar on here actually him? Yes! In the avatar I'm doing 5 repetitions 91kg / 200lbs standing strict overhead presses. My favorite exercise!

I confess to never actually shooting the thing, or holding it even. What exactly do you mean by "tendency to jam", how prevalent is it? Is it in all versions? As in both 50AE and 44? Is it in both the Israeli version and the American version? The .50 AE version universally has a tendency to jam from what I know. Can't speak for the .44 Again, fine gun for fun and such, but on a practical level I wouldn't recommend it (and I doubt Ambush was actually looking at it from a practical angle). Edit: Oh yeah, and hand loading would probably solve half of the problem with jamming. Good point.

I've heard of some quality control issues with magazines on the .50AE that prevent the action from cycling completely. What winds up happening is the magazine grips the top round too tightly, interrupting the feed and leading to it getting stuck slightly out of battery.
You can see this in action here, although I'm not sure if the damage to this guy's magazine was a manufacturing defect or if it was abused.
Not really a "jam", but still a known issue.

Edit: Oh yeah, and hand loading would probably solve half of the problem with jamming. Good point. Yeah its mostly a fun gun, if I wanted to buy a sensible defensive pistol I'd simply grab a Glock 17 9mm or a Bersa Thunder doublestack .380 and be done with it. Its kind of like comparing a Dodge Viper GTS-R to a 1994 Toyota 4WD pickup. Ultra-reliable always gets the job done with minimal effort, conservative truck vs. super powerful, super fun but eccentric and quirky impractical sports car. Both have their place. Size matters less than skill. And skill only comes into play if there is hard resolve. What if you have size AND skill? Its like with weight lifting, some say skill is more important than having big muscles, some say you simply need to be HUGE to move heavy stuff. What if I told you that to become truly powerful you need both? Those ''what's more important'' discussions people have always puzzle me when you have the option to have both things.

I guess that's the privilege of living where you guys are, I'd be lucky to get a license for a single defensive hand gun, so my preferences are more pragmatic in nature. But yeah, if you just want to have fun?... I can definitely see the appeal. How are your laws on bladed weapons? A spear through the chest will really fuck a person up.

How are your laws on bladed weapons? A spear through the chest will really fuck a person up. That's a... loaded question, excuse the pun. The law on carrying a knife outside your house is somewhat vague, I think you need a good explanation for why you are carrying a knife, self-defense is not a valid reason and can cause you to get arrested (I think). Of course, the law is also hard to enforce at times, especially because some people do "legitimately" need to carry a knife for every day work. The general attitude seems to be that the more a knife looks like an offensive weapon, the more it will be frowned upon. So a box-cutter knife is probably going to be okay, while a commando knife is most definitely not. As for folding knives, I'm guessing it depends on looks and size. If the model looks more like a utility tool and perhaps has more tools in it, I'm guessing it might be looked at less harshly, but again, vague laws. But the biggest problem of all, is that the law will probably won't defend you if you defend yourself against an attacker with a knife and end up killing him. As in, you might be charged with murder unless you prove that you were in a life threatening situation, which is sometimes difficult to do. Because of all these reasons, you would be better served to carry something else for protection. Like a taser (not a taser gun, that's ALSO illegal...), pepper spray, or a blunt weapon such as a club / baton. Edit: Or just git good and invest years to become effective at a utilitarian martial art that will make you reasonably effective in a street fight. ''Like a taser (not a taser gun, that's ALSO illegal...)'' ''or a blunt weapon such as a club / baton.'' Ever think about a cattle prod?

The one way you might draw and wish to not harm the assailant is when you hope he'll just back the fuck off once he sees you're armed.
...which is more or less bullshit.
If you're gonna shoot - you shoot to hit. Not necessarily to kill, but to hit. A .22LR might not have the stopping power to just stop the enemy dead in his tracks - but it sure as hell isn't going to be pleasant.

''Like a taser (not a taser gun, that's ALSO illegal...)'' ''or a blunt weapon such as a club / baton.'' Ever think about a cattle prod? I'm somewhat skeptical in regard to tasers but it's probably not a bad idea for home defense (I think cattle prods are usually too big to keep in your pocket), although It's probably harder to get your hands on one than it is on a regular taser. I might look into it. Alright time for a neat army trick. Just because it's actually kinda cool. Basically when employing a shovel or spade the ideal placement of the strike is directly below the jaw along the neck where it meets the throat. Due the placement of the trachea, esophagus and larynx. You can basically damage all three with a good thrusting motion. A wide flat surface is ideal for this, hence the shovel advice, and while it's no entrenching tool, a shovel or spade is similar enough. When doing the thrust feel free to ram it as hard and brutally as possible to collapse the airways, if you are in a position where you are defending yourself with a fucking shovel homicide is likely justified. A knife would be easier, just a few stabs into the belly would render most threats immobile but given that isn't a option for you, gardening implementats will have to suffice.

I might look into it. Yeah, I suggested it with home defense in mind. Also, worst case scenario, the shocking doesn't work, you still have a metal rod to smack them with. Unlike a normal taser where you're kinda just fucked.

If you're gonna shoot - you shoot to hit. Not necessarily to kill, but to hit. If you shoot, shoot to kill. I mean actually really legitimately not joking here, if you defend yourself with a firearm (in the USA) then you had better be trying to kill whoever you're shooting at. If you shoot someone and they live, you had better tell the cops you were trying to kill them because your life was in danger. Never ever shoot someone without intent to kill or at least don't tell someone you weren't trying to kill them. Guns automatically put lethal force into your aggression, so if you say you weren't trying to use lethal force then you're in a load of shit.

Might as well call this thing a fucking war axe... And this isn't even getting into the primary melee tools of the trade, bayonets and knives. Folks wonder why we still use em. Point being. I don't know of a single country where you can't purchase a metal tipped shovel.

Might as well call this thing a fucking war axe... Modern war axe. Swap out the short handle for a longer one. You basically have a spear but could probably pass it off as a shovel. There's also plenty of reasons for a person to be carrying a shovel. It also only has like 2 inches of blade so I'm sure it could pass most blade laws.

Still, assuming you are not in the US, you might want to consider a warning shot, or a shot to the leg. In some places the law seems to almost care more for the well being and rights of the attacker than the defender. It's highly situational, and if you are in immediate danger, by all means shoot for center mass. Ye, I can't speak for the laws 'n' such outside of the USA. In regards to the "shoot them in the leg" comment, i'd like to remind everyone that the femoral artery exists and hitting it is going to cause someone to die alot quicker than shooting them in the gut will.
