Okay, so the Easter Bunny didn't exactly leave this - I accidentally kinda' bought it off GunBroker. It started as a penny auction, no reserve, so I threw a bid on it several hundred less than I'd seen 'em go through, and promptly forgot about it. A week or 10 days later I got the ol' "Congratulations, you won!" email. I'd been considering a Desert Eagle in .44 Mag off and on for years. The dirty white Cerakote model caught my eye. Should be lots of fun at the range! By the way, this is a BIG handgun. I've had, and have, BFRs, but this dwarfs 'em.

Nice.
I’ve kinda wanted one,. If they were 1k I might think hard, but they’re about 1500 now.

I went the other way and and picked up a tiny NNA Guardian .380 for pocket carry. Concealment is such a PIA down here during the summer.
I threw out a one time bid for schiets and giggles on GB and won. It has upgraded checkered wood grips and 4 mags.
My heart's in the mountains, my heart is not here. My heart's in the mountains, chasing the deer.

Desert Eagle? Is it a .44 Magnum? Oh, yeah, if I hold my eyes real close to the screen, I can make out .44 Magnum on the slide. Looks cool with the Star Wars Blaster finish.

About 30 years ago, a buddy of mine bought a Desert Eagle in 44, it was entertaining to shoot, and it shot well, but neither of us could figure out how to carry the thing comfortably for deer hunting. Granted, that was a long time ago, and lots of custom holster makers are doing great things today, but back then, it was just awkward, to say the least, and neither of us had big hands, either, so they simply didn't fit very well. He sold it pretty soon afterwards.
I had a custom shortened Ruger SBH that fit in a holster and was easy to pack around, so I didn't mourn the sale of his pistol at all. I already had a good packin' gun.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

In the video game, Resident Evil II, you eventually acquire a Desert Eagle .44 Magnum, which greatly ups your ability to dispatch zombies. The Beretta 9mm would require four or five shots to drop one, but the Desert Eagle only required one shot. Eventually, you find the .50 AE slide/barrel combo to put on it, allowing you to handle some of the more serious mutants.

SMH Noticed that up in the campfire forum - the entire Kate Upton video was posted and then half of the responses were about her husband, who is a baseball player. Not implying any homosexual connotations but apparently old men's priorities change over time...

Also, the Easter Bunny didn't bring me a handgun but did bring me a Remington 513T.
Wait, what I meant was, jeez, that Kate Upton is one hot piece of cottontail. Hot Hot Hot!!!

I'm working a gun show at the end of the month. Hopefully I can raise enough funny money to buy some new toys. I'm a heathen, so I celebrated Easter at the range with a Python in my hand.

Alright, who's going to tell the OP that there really isn't an Easter Bunny? I suppose he still believes in Santa Claus, too!

Apex enhanced kit for my s&w sd9ve. Yes I bought a Smith and Wesson after swearing off them because you got 5 boxes of Hornady American Gunner couldn't turn it down.
Bangflop! another skinning job due to .260 and proper shot placement.
