Anything else i should know or note?

Picking up an L6 .50AE here in a month or two and was curious of what little quirks or features I should be mindful of.

Im very well aware of the size, weight, recoil, ammo cost, dont limp wrist it, dont use exposed lead rounds to prevent gas port clogs, ejection pattern hates you, etc. Anything else im missing or need to keep in mind?

Absolutely buying it because its cool, I want one, I have the disposable income for it now and because I want one.

Smoking the Air Marshall Qual With a Desert Eagle

Happy 4th everyone. Since Ken Hackathorn's thoughts on red dot optics on pistols have been making the rounds again, I figured we'd do a fun one.

Second and third Deagle

Picked up the top one, MKI 357 S/N 7XXX, and the bottom one, MKXIX 44 mag recently. Already had the middle MKVII 50.

According to Magnum Research, with the 357 being a 4 digit S/N they can't say when it was made, but probably a very early Israeli. I got it to resemble the one in Commando.

The 50 is technically a MKVII by S/N made in June of '92, but by design it's a MKXIX. It's stamped the same as the ones in The Matrix; I collect movie guns.

The 44 I got in a trade recently. Kinda disappointed they only make the Muzzle Brake in black, as I was hoping to add it. Since it's brushed chrome, I dunno about cerakoting it. I guess just keep it for now.

I had a MKXIX in 44, black, with the MB, and no fluting years ago but I traded it. I think I'll keep these ones for a while. Kinda wish I had one with the lower picatinny, but not really necessary. For now...

Which color should I get??

The desert eagle is probably going to be my next gun but I can’t decide which color I want to go with.

I love how the chrome looks and it’s an iconic look. The black looks amazing too especially with that gold barrel added to it. I love both looks.

I love both looks equally, I was going to go with the iconic chrome finish but the more and more pictures I see of a black and gold deagle makes me unsure of which one I want to go with. I cannot decide which I like more

The best part is the conversations at the range.

I love shooting this thing. Always brings a smile to my face, and usually anyone else at the range too! Just last week I went shooting and brought this little guy. Had a couple kids there with their dad absolutely fangirling over it 😂. Always great to let others try it out.

Help with .44 extractor not extracting.

So at one of my ranges they have a .44 for rent. I’ve hung around long enough and seen enough people use it to notice that it pretty simply does not run.

I did some slow mo on someone renting it to see what was happening. Tldr, it looks like it cant pull the case out, and the extractor slips off. Doesn’t matter if you’re limp wristing or clamping it down like John Wick.

It gets rented out pretty frequently but the range staff will usually say just single load it. Any ideas on what could help remedy it? Occasionally it will succeed in extracting and cycling but not often.

Safety drum fitment issue

Doing a slide swap on a gen 1 44mag. Bought a new slide on Numrich due to the original slide cracking. But the safety drum from the original doesn't wanna fit the "new" slide. If I buy a safety drum on numrich, will it fit on the frame? Or am I just fucked?
