As of 7/3/23 the 50AE magazines are in stock on the manufacturer website. I saw your other Desert Eagle video, the source of your problem was the armscor ammo. The problem isn't the projectile, it's the powder. And there's a physical difference between the MK19 and the L5. My Desert Eagle like everyone else is a picky eater, maybe you should learn to reload. Stay away from Freedom Munitions 50AE too. These are the brands that work reliably, Hornady , Underwood , Magnum Research, Federal Fusion, Buffalo Bore, TII Armory
@@PassportBrosBusinessClass Are you in New York look into your state laws In California you can't Mail order ammo UNLESS you have FFL03 federal license so I got that license which allows me to Mail order ammo cheaper to my door. I only have magnum firearms and I stockpiled ammo for all my calibers, I got around 800 rounds of 50AE. Also you should have at least 5 magazines, a spare pistol and ESPECIALLY a spare slide spring for your Desert Eagle.
@@PassportBrosBusinessClass When I say projectile I am literally referencing the actual bullet, not the entire cartridge. In your vid you hypothesized that your issue is with the bullet type however like I said the problem is with the gun powder not being hot enough to cycle/chamber the weapon correctly.
@@niceguy60 Ok, but what I’m saying is that the gun isn’t properly chambering the ammo PRIOR TO FIRING. The bullet itself seems to have a problem loading. It jammed just trying to close the slide.
Thanks for this wonderful video! Please let me know about this. I heard in L5 models MR use a set screw in the firing pin stop plate to prevent it from falling off during shooting. Could you please let me know if it is true? Thanks a lot!
AWESOME video boss 👍 I have two mark 19 Desert Eagles 50AE one gold and the other brush chrome and it been 2 years I haven't shot either of them because it's so expensive but I still love them and please do more guns videos.
I just got an L5 identical to yours. And what I've learned regarding DE is ammo is one of the biggest issues facing it. Hollowpoints have issues running in these (among other firearms) those Precision One comes at no suprise as why it is your better running ammo. Flatnose ammo is much less likely to fail to load like you had with Armscor. Ive been suggested Underwood ammo (buffalo bore is also a crazy load of you want heavy rds but they are close to $3-$4 per rd) as some of the topnotch ammo for 50AE. I just order a few boxes at $1.76 per rd (use ammoseek to help find best price). Another issue (especially if you want to run hallows) is your grip, obviously dont death grip your pistol, no pistol likes that. But your off hand/ support hand seems to be very far forward on the DE. Give yourself a more tactical grip and keep your shooting hand high on the gun (definitely avoid slide bite!!). I hope this helps and great video.
@@PassportBrosBusinessClass - Hornady 300gr XTP is the preferred factory ammo. It’s the ammo Magnum Research test-fires through every gun before sending out the door. Buying it direct from Magnum Research (with their name on the box) will cost a premium - on top of an already premium price. Just buy it in regular ol’ Hornady packaging, and save 40%. I also like Buff Bore and Underwood. Both have *MORE* than enough power to reliably cycle DEagles, but at the expense of unnecessary wear-and-tear. Save those loads for when it really counts.
The .50 AE is more powerful, but the 10mm is even suitable for large game. This is the reason why Alaska's highway patrolmen are issued glock 20's in 10mm in the event they may have to deal w/ male mouse during mating season or perhaps even grizzlies...
@@schmoelenk8983what did the 50 action Express is 2 to 3 times more powerful than a 10 mm a 10 mm is the longest same lines as a 357 Magnum that's it buddy I don't know why people got to make it complicated when it's not, and do not listen to that man you do not want to go up against the grizzly bear with a 10mm
There is a long barrel available for any standard model. Several proprietary parts changes (and some subtle) were made specifically for the L5’s to be a viable “thing.”
Get away from the hollow points not unless you fill the inside. Full metal jacket is far more accurate. Anytime I shoot any of mine, I go for head shots. I popped a ground hog at 13 yards, but when I had a hollow point I couldn’t hit it within a yard. hollow points are not as dependable as full metal jacket for further shots. They’re great for gut busters.
When my camera doesn't trigger an exposure I get frustrated... I couldn't image something similar that simply won't fire due to mechanical issues. Those rounds are so expensive and elitist you should fire them with your pinky fingers in the air. Excellent opinionated review BigTruck...
You have lost your f****** mind to sit there and say that a 10 mm is almost as powerful as a 50 action Express CZcams millimeter fan girls have lost your minds man you say the same thing about 44 Magnums all the 10mm almost as powerful as a 44 you need to get this through your head the 10 mm is not as powerful as a 357 Magnum you are absolutely delusional man
Watching you fail at manipulating this deagle properly and flinching at every trigger pull is hurting me, making me angry. Just manipulate it, don't fondle it delicately. Move that shit around like you own it. It's just a block of steel. Recoil doesn't hurt, and definitely won't kill you. Brace and let it bounce. Try Hornady 300gr xtp. Great round, well known. Armscor ammo is always a fail decision, not just for .50AE. Even for their own .22tcm, their own round.
Well, considering I'm simultaneously trying to hold a camera, record, maintain gun safety, and not get bothered while recording by those annoying security guards, I'd say I'm doing fine.
@@PassportBrosBusinessClass The point is that you're adding to the not-undeserved old reputation of the platform. I do argue that reputation for the new Deagles, because I have a sample size of 8 newer Mark XIXs in .50AE (I just picked up a 'Star Spangled Banger') and have had no issues*; I learned I needed to brace my primary side elbow a little more during the first mag of my first Deagle. I also don't fire ammo that I'm confident is bad, that I've heard a rumor is bad, or is just overall really cheap. It's an expensive piece of manufacturing that requires hot loaded ammo, because it's gas operated with a rotating locking bolt. And if you try to ride the slide home, the springs aren't going to put enough ass into rotating the bolt to lock up properly, failing to go into battery. Why would a Ferrari owner put cheap fuel in the tank? Because he doesn't know better, be it simply due to being uninformed or just an idiot, whatever the case. I once had a friend who bought an SUV, six months later the block cracked. We asked him, "When was the last time you changed the oil?" His response, no shit, was, "Oil?" You learned that Armscor is shitty ammo, so just stay away from it. Get some Hornady, or Buffalo Bore or something, and your experience should definitely change. I mainly run 300gr XTPs and 350gr flat nose FMJs, perfect function. Brass flies over my right shoulder ten feet away and lands within three feet of the previous casing, never had it fly into my forehead or teeth, and since learning to brace my elbow more, no failures to go into battery or strip another round from the mag, nothing. I very often carry one in a Battle Gnome Solutions AIWB holster to the gun store for laughs and America-ness, and now that it's going into Winter, with my experience of fantastic reliability, it's now my desired Winter carry, unironically. Mrgunsngear has a video in which he explains some of the reasons he hates the Desert Eagle, including brass slapping him in the optical receptacle, urging people to wear eye pro when firing it. When I watch that video, he's allowing it to twist in his hand, break his grip, he's allowing it to do a lot of things that my 6'7" 180lbs ass doesn't, and he must have over 30lbs of muscle on me. I've only been able to rationalize that he's flinching from the break, but I find even that very hard to believe, because it's just recoil, with which he has a lot of experience. Firearms are designed to function in very specific ways, primary of which is to not injure the operator, which means that any recoil isn't a health concern to any degree (unless you've just had surgery on your wrist or something), which means it's not something I need to devote brain cells to, and I can focus on squeezing the trigger. I know the blast is coming, so I just make a habit of slowly increasing the pressure on my trigger finger muscles until that blast gets released, and if indoors, makes the toothpick for which I'm compensating twitch a little. Jerking the trigger in a flinch is a hard habit to break, but if you put a couple mags through it while concentrating on very slowly booger hook mining the trigger on every shot, then move to a 9mm or something, you'll realize that the flinch is not only decreased or gone, but that the level of fear that you had for the blast, for which you'd normally prepare yourself, was completely unnecessary. Transfer that thought back to the Deagle and it's easier to recognize the inevitable lack of danger from recoil even from the .50AE. .50AE Deagles' recoil is so significantly slowed down to a push because of its weight and function instead of a snap like you'd get from a revolver that it's almost childish to flinch with it from fear once you make that realization. Accept that there's going to be a very predictable level of violence coming from that muzzle and recognize that there's no danger at all, and you'll get over most or all of that flinch in no time. The camera on the side, not being held during fire, that's a good thing, but I can understand having attention drawn to trying to detail what's happening as it's happening for us viewers to a certain degree. Gun safety must be ingrained into anyone who's independently going shooting, or they're a potential and unfortunate hazard to passersby. Aside from what I'm assuming is a little lack of familiarity with the strength of the slide springs back when you posted this video, your gun safety is fine. And those range officers, depending on the range you're at, likely have significant Police and/or military backgrounds, which means that the probability that they have information that might help you with the platform when you're there is higher than the guy in the next stall. Ranges usually prefer to have guys with experience in those positions, more of an insurance thing I'm sure, and they actually want to be there, around guns and other cool adult toys, otherwise they'd be elsewhere. And I'm also sure that you've seen some range officers in youtube videos stopping people from making unaliving sorts of actions. But some ranges let special kids take those shifts, decreasing the effectiveness of the range officer seeing potential danger. No range officer can monitor every person all the time when they're back there, and they sometimes come off as annoying in some situations, because they don't know everyone, they can't trust everyone. Make a crack to them like, "I brought a thing that'll make you Marilyn Monroe on a vent, wanna see?" or "I brought a compensated compensator" and they'll relax a little around you. But you should remember that they're not there to be your friend, they're there to hinder you and the other patrons of patriotism from unintentionally (or intentionally) sending one or more humans to the great and all powerful parole officer in the sky. I respect their position of being annoying to a certain degree, because I don't want Jesus to give me a four mile list of things in 12pt Times Old Roman that he saw me do before I achieve the Alzheimer's ability. That being said, I now own a lot of land and am building my own personal range so that I don't have to deal with idiots. It's not as scary in Idaho, since tater eaters have grown up with guns since being unlaunched sperm cells, but some really crazy people exist in Washington with the capability of both owning and not understanding firearms, and they unintentionally flag the fuck out of everyone. Range officers can only do so much. I'm tired, typing too much, going to bed.

agreed!!!! whenever I shoot my .44 Magnum Deagle at the range like this guy does, I typically stick with either the Hornady rounds or those from Underwood Ammo, as their stuff is spicy enough to fully cycle the gun, which is why people will say that hotter ammo tends to work better for a gas-operated pistol such as this one. while the manual says to use the recommended for better reliability, and while typically true to an extent when using the Magnum Research brand, the other brands listed on there felt waaaaaay underpowered and led to frequent jams.
@@DrQuagmire1 I completely forgot that I wrote an essay here. I must have been really tired. Yeah, it can be a little more of a hassle to find adequately powered loads for .357 and .44. But with .50, since really the only well known pistol for .50 is a DEagle, it's much harder for ammo manufacturers to get away with less than high pressure loads, because a DEagle will otherwise not cycle, leading to a negative reputation for that company's .50AE. This is one of the reasons why every DEagle that I own is .50AE. That and a reason that trumps everything: America! American design, American caliber, manufacturing returned to the States, out of a viking named town in a viking populated State, Pillager, MN. Anyway, I learned my lesson about ammo manufacturers pud loading calibers from my appreciation for the 10mm, the 40 Short and Weak's original round before the FBI ruined it by being dumb. Most of my .50AE is the Hornady XTP 300gr stuff. I have some 325gr something or other, but I like the Hornady stuff. High pressure is needed for a DEagle to do well. And it's not a bad thing. Who wants to throw a .44 special out of a 20lb brick of steel? Or worse, a .38 special? You only get 8/9 + 1 respectively of those calibers, so the harder hitting, the better. .44 magnum is nice since there's .44 magnum everywhere, but I forced myself to go big (compensating) boy. More expensive, but really, really fun. Especially with this "Star Spangled Banger". What Desert Eagle fanatic wouldn't want an even more American Desert Eagle? My gun store owner also gave me a leather AIWB holster for it; it's a double DEagle holster. One for the left hand and one for the right. A guy at his church made it. I ignore the fact that getting in and out of a vehicle hurts, and I need to make sure I have at least my phone in my hoodie's pouch pocket to at least attempt to hide the printing, but it's just so hilariously cool to dual carry .50AE Desert Eagles. I definitely recommend the activity given the opportunity, however much pain it causes you.

My gun store owner also gave me a leather AIWB holster for it; it's a double DEagle holster. One for the left hand and one for the right. A guy at his church made it. I ignore the fact that getting in and out of a vehicle hurts, and I need to make sure I have at least my phone in my hoodie's pouch pocket to at least attempt to hide the printing, but it's just so hilariously cool to dual carry .50AE Desert Eagles. I definitely recommend the activity given the opportunity, however much pain it causes you.
