fair one, but there are plenty of other target sports available...archery, small bore, rough shooting, trap shooting, etc...i just worry sometimes that people want to own a pistol especially for the wrong reasons...

 

I want to take up shooting.

if I wanted a desert eagle I'll get one paying cash not using my credit card to buy on line.
it easier to make a few phone calls and get a real on tomorrow than spend hours on the net looking for a replica.

 

personally i dont think a replica pistol is in anyway different to a wrc replica spoiler. they both serve no purpose other than to be look attractive to the owner and others who like such things

Webley make them although you will need to find a reseller.

Just re read you initial post, these have the crappy wooden handle, might be worth speaking to Webley re handle options.

 

could you not grt the one with the crappy grips then buy some aftermarket ones?

Good thinking Batman.
Webley is based in brum and Iv been to their show room. d'oh

 

Having shot a real .45 Desert Eagle all I can say is they weigh a bloody ton ! There's a smaller IMI pistol called Jericho which is like a reduced version of the DE, chambered for 9mm parabellum (IIRC, before the ban) might be better with one of these if they do a replica. Or a Glock, they weigh half as much.

 

sound advice but will not be running down the high street with it

 

There's never been a .45 desert eagle..! Either .357mag, .44mag or .50AE (action express for those interested, .50cal case on a .44 rim, hence the same machine parts used to make bolt face etc...).

Brihoppy, small bore is not available as a pistol sport, only rifle. Infact the only pistol firearm's now legal are muzzle loading. Saying that there are some interesting muzzle loading pistol's being manufactured using modern nitro based powders and a 5 shot 'muzzle' loaded breech block magazine..!

Who knows maybe one day I'll be tempted back to the jumping through hoops and pound of flesh of owning a firearm certificate..!

Until then I'll make do with my 12b P/A mossberg.

 

PS Ray li, give Sporting Supplies' in Bilston a ring..

 

i meant small bore rifle...and ive fired .22 target pistols before...
