Magnum Research Desert Eagle L6 .44 Mag 6″ Carbo Blue PVD Pistol

Description

There is no mistaking a Desert Eagle on the firing line, and the L6 in Carbo Blue takes that presence up a notch. The deep blue PVD finish on the slide and barrel plays off titanium gold controls and accents, all sitting on a black anodized aluminum frame. It looks like something out of a movie, but underneath the finish is the same gas operated, rotating bolt Mark XIX action that has been swallowing magnum cartridges since the platform earned its reputation.

Why the L6 Desert Eagle Handles Differently

The big story with the L6 series is weight. That aluminum frame and weight reducing cuts shave roughly 10 ounces compared to the traditional steel frame Desert Eagles, which you notice the moment you pick it up and even more by the end of a range session. The 6 inch barrel wears an integral muzzle brake that, combined with the gas system, keeps .44 Magnum recoil far more civilized than the cartridge has any right to be. Hogue finger groove rubber grips fill the hand nicely and give you a solid purchase for follow up shots.

Set Up for Optics and the Range

You get a full length Picatinny rail up top for a red dot or pistol scope, plus a frame accessory rail underneath, so this one is ready for whatever you want to hang on it. Adjustable sights come standard for those who prefer to run it as it sits. Capacity is 8+1 of .44 Magnum fed from the included 8 round magazine, with a single action trigger and ambidextrous safety rounding out the controls.

A .44 Magnum That Earns Its Spot

Whether it becomes the centerpiece of a collection, a handgun hunting rig with a dot on top, or just the pistol everyone at the range wants a turn with, the L6 Carbo Blue delivers. It is a genuine shooter wrapped in one of the best looking finishes Magnum Research offers, and it carries the kind of iconic silhouette that never needs an introduction.
