Desert Eagle in the new Stainless Steel finish

This year, the legendary Desert Eagle celebrates its 30th birthday. Reason enough for Magnum Research to present its most iconic hand-held firearm - the Desert Eagle Mark XIX - in an expanded model variety. Just in time for the ShotShow in Las Vegas, the US manufacturer will be presenting a brand-new stainless steel production with a muzzle brake inserted directly into the barrel. In Europe this model will be presented at the joint stand of Kahr Arms and the European Importer Waffen Ferkinghoff at the IWA in Hall 1-126.

The Desert Eagle 4.0 starts as a high-quality stainless steel model, with a robust stainless steel frame, lock and barrel, an additional picatinny rail under the barrel and black attachments. New: the previously offered, mounted muzzle brake has been milled directly into the six-inch-long pistol barrel.

This so-called "Muzzle brake" offers a noticeable reduction in the muzzle rise and the recoil, in addition to the streamlined optics. This leads to a better controllability of the weapon. In addition, the original barrel length is maintained and the gun easily fits into the standard holster. If you are not a fan of the muzzle brake, you can also buy the model with a 6 "-rail without it.

For all owners of standard black Mark XIX models, the muzzle brake barrels can be retrofitted in the calibres of .50AE, .44Mag. and. This replaces the previous variant of the mounted muzzle brake.

Magnum Research has thus created another distinctive model of the legendary Desert Eagle, with a unique appearance. Frank Harris, VP Sales and Marketing of the Kahr Firearms Group proudly presents the new product: "This high-quality Stainless Steel gun has an exceptional charisma. No firearms looks tougher than our Desert Eagle ",

As the general importer for Europe, Waffen Ferkinghoff has been exporting all Kahr weapons from security pistols, Magnum guns like the Desert Eagle, BFR revolvers and Magnum Light self-loading rifles to accessories and spare parts since 2013.
