The novelty wore off on the Desert Eagle for me the second I got it out of the box!! Unforgiveably awful trigger, horrible flimsy plastic (with my pet hate, moulded in controls), gas hungry and way over priced. As far as blowback guns go this has to be my least favourite, slightly more accurate than most but no-where near as much fun. Umarex would have been much better off without the blowback and making it like their other pellet shooters. Try a few other blowback pistols, you will see what I mean (My KWC luger is currently entertaining me a great deal, the action is perfect).

I tend to keep all of my pistols, the one I like the most though is an old smoothbore .177 Webley Junior that is almost free of blueing, has a bent barrel and is in real need of a service. I will get around one day to doing something with the pistol, maybe I'll even replace the bent barrel.

I was given it when I was 14 and thought it was amazing!!
