Just reading those numbers got my heart pumping a little faster thinking about the power that will be coursing through my hands.

This would be a good place to point out the trigger on the firearm. The single action trigger was not the rough, dragging pull you would expect on a large caliber handgun. In reality, the trigger was rather pleasant with a consistent 5.5 lb. pull with very little over travel. Using Magnum Research’s Adjustable Trigger Mechanism (ATM). The firearm trigger pull can be changed via a specialized tool inserted deep into the magazine well for adjustment. In the two years I have owned the handgun, it was not until I researched the Desert Eagle platform until I learned about the ATM trigger. In speaking with other gun owners, I learned this makes the Desert Eagle platform in lighter calibers such as the .357 much more manageable and fun to spend more time shooting.
