noticed they were absent from the web site, sent them an email, confirmed discontinued. I was looking for a black 10" 50AE barrel, during the BF sales, they only had the nickel plated, 24K gold plated, and titanium gold 10" 50AE version. I picked up the 10" titanium gold, kinda more bling than what I like, but after I put it on the black frame, hmmm, not that bad.
I already picked up the 10" 44, and the 10" 357 over the last couple years. and now they're no longer available. ETA (12/19/18): looks like there's still some available, again. just not in black. |

I got one for my XIX a few years ago before Kahr bought them, tamed the .44 quite a bit.

I've been trying to buy a 50 AE 10" barrel for nearly a year with no luck. I guess I'm going to have to take anything I can get.

It has taken some effort, but I am only one short one desired barrel at this point. Most of these barrels came from on-line sources. I would suggest setting a realistic value of what the barrel is worth to you vs the market average and then being extremely persistent. I have no extra barrels to sell at this time, or I would offer you one of course. Persistence is the key I think. MrBlackCat I attempted to link to an image, but this site has a very primitive image management system which is incompatible with my image provider, so it will not display correctly.

If anyone is interested in the Dayton, Ohio area, a guy has a 14" 44 Mag barrel.
I cant convince him to ship it to me, even via Ebay or Gunbroker. I really want it but its not gonna happen for me. https://www.armslist.com/posts/6902627/dayton-ohio-handguns-for-sale--desert-eagle-44-magnum-14-in--barrel |

Maybe I just bought the barrel for $999 and it came with a free slide and frame? ;) The seller claimed it had been shot once with 40 rounds, but when it arrived, the finish was still on the slide surfaces etc. It showed wear after two magazines I put through it. I don't think it had been shot and they just didn't know, or maybe one magazine. MrBlackCat |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By IamMunneY: I could have swore I read it was a VII, but I'm satisfied with it being a XIX. Means I can sell my XIX I currently own to a friend and not lose anything. Even though I'm half tempted to just keep them all. Will have a shade over 4000 in 4 guns. Gold Tiger 50, Black 50, Black 357 and Case 357 The way I handle my Desert Eagles is this... I have 5 gun cases with six loaded magazines each, one in each caliber. When I want to shoot a Desert Eagle, I just choose a caliber (or two, or three) and drop the gun into the case along with its ten inch barrel, and barrel with Muzzle Brake. Sometimes I take an optic as well. The convenience of this is great. Is good to hear you are patient enough to find great deals on Desert Eagles... but be careful... the .429DE and .44Mag can start calling and it all ends up a lot of mouths to feed. I love my family though. :) MrBlackCat |

I don't have any video to share, but the Muzzle Brake (external) does a lot for the 429DE... maybe more than most calibers, but that is a tough call. It could be the velocity as the muzzle brake effect is also noticeable with the 357Mag running Buffalo Bore 125's at 1700+ This was obvious from some video I took recently.

man I absolutely cannot find a 10" barrel. I just tried to buy the one one Ebay and it sold for $735.
Its really hard for me to give that much when I dont have more than $1100 in ANY single gun total... I gues If I want it, I'm just going to have to suck it up. |

how much you're willing to pay, I guess, first of all, depends on the condition, and whether it's a XIX, or previous gen, compatibility with your slide. and what caliber you're looking for, if that's THE popular caliber. and maybe the value of any extras included, if of any value to you, since all you really want is the barrel.
I just saw that the .357 Magnum 10" barrel, new in factory packaging, went for $510. Gotta consider that's a fair price, IMHO, since WHEN they were available new from Magnum Research, they listed at $500 or something like that. So, since they're discontinued, gonna be harder to find. so, if the one you were looking at went for $730, then subtract out $500, and the $230 is the premium you're paying for rarity, discontinued, if it was "new-in-box". Not sure if the one you're referring to was NIB, or used, previous gen, etc. I don't think the prices of the 10" barrels are going to decrease, especially since the Desert Eagle is still in production and people are still buying them. I think you gotta do some soul-searching, figure out which model, caliber you really want, ignore everything else, and if "yours" shows up, you gotta go balls out because that's the one, it's yours, and it's now or never. just my 2 cents. on the other hand, if you're wanting a 10" gold tiger stripe 50AE, not sure they even exist. your wife is not gonna like my way of thinking, sorry. |

People actually want those? When I was looking for a DE a couple years ago, more than once I got excited about what looked to be a steal, and then it turned out to be one of these 10" abortions.
Only reason I can think of to get one is to have it cut down and threaded. I haven't looked into it, is there another way to get a threaded DE barrel than that? |

I wrestled with the decision to buy a 10" back in the day, I got my .44 Mark XIX back in 1998, I thought I was getting ripped off paying $475 for the 10" but I guess it was a worthy investment.

Well, I've finally got what I was looking for!
I found a guy selling a 10" 50AE barrel and I got it for $515. It should be here this weekend! Pretty pumped about that. I also bought 44 Mag gun that came with the original carrying case and 10 and 14" barrels with it. Paid a pretty good price for it, but considering the barrels bring $$$$ I should be okay in it. Hopefully have it this weekend too. |
