Pablo Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Throw some colored wood grips on there and you'd have something. Threaded barrel is a good thing, I'd like to see how it's constructed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Saw one at the local show yesterday. I guess not my cup of tea. Pretty gaudy and seem a little cheapie. I'll take my traditional steel blue bull with cocobolo grips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryinIN Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Yeah, I don't understand the choice of gold for color. Maybe they are trying to provide a more affordable option for anyone wanting a ghetto gold Desert Eagle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
