Trigger Pull: The trigger pull for the KWC blowback single-action pistols is very good. The Desert Eagle is a bit better with less play and a lighter pull.

Accuracy: I shot from 20 feet out in semi semi-rested position. I was able to place 10 rounds in a 2.5 to 3 inch group and both guns shot well centered. I have full confidence that I could easily hit a man-sized target from 50 feet away. It got right around 400 fps (5-shot average chrony testing).

Build Quality: The build quality is a metal slide and barrel with a polymer frame and plastic grips. The Desert Eagle used metal for the magazine release and trigger. I found the metal-on-metal areas on the Desert Eagle were losing the paint and also in some of the high spots. Over all, it worked very well and had a good fit and finish.

Realism: The KWC Desert Eagle .50 is an accurate replica of its real steel counterparts and has full licensing on it for added authenticity. The workings are pretty much just like a real gun with a full-size drop-out magazine and very heavy full blowback operation. The slides give a nice metallic sound when operating.

Pros:

  • Lots of metal and good overall weight
  • Very heavy blowback
  • Good fit and finish.
  • Excellent fps.
  • Good accuracy
  • Very believable replica of the real steel version

Cons:

  • Paint wear in high spots is noticeable
  • Non-adjustable sights
  • Goes through CO2 fast.

Comments:  It's wonderful to get this here in Canada finally and have the ability to review them for everyone. It reminds me a lot of the 4.5mm Steel BB blowback pistols very much and this is probably because there are Airsoft versions of these guns also distributed by KWC. Whether you want one of these very nice Airsoft pistols for plinking and target practice or to use in battle on the Airsoft field, it would make a great choice.

Very solid gun

Large, heavy, and intimidating, this thing is pretty awesome. Shoots accurately and feels good in the hand with the blowback. Sounds clean and satisfying. Only complaint was that the safety on mine is stuck, my finger bled before I was able to push the little slider onto SAFE, meaning I can never put it in safety. Other than that, high quality and very nice.

KWC Desert Eagle Airsoft gun

I chose the satin silver. From a few years ago I also have the black version in semi-auto & fully auto. Both great.

Awesome Gun

This is my second semi auto blowback pistol, the first being a Walther PPK replica. I love the weight, especially with the mag in. The full metal slide has that satisfying weight and noise, and the kick is awesome. I've seen many videos about how it is difficult to reassemble due to this little tab by the hammer, but KWC must have fixed that as I have no trouble assembling and disassembling. Of course because of the weight of the slide, this pistol blows through really fast. I've been getting about a mag and little over a half on one co2 cartridge. which isn't horrible, and it is fast to load with the included speed loader. But do wish I bought a spare mag, just to quickly reload when shooting.

First impressions

Just received this .Was a little disappointed as there is no licensing. The only writing is a made in Taiwan on the slide in white letters. The lower is plastic and is ok .All in all the gun is decent though. If your looking for a Desert Eagle for a decent price this fits the bill. Have not shot it yet so disregard accuracy rating.

Beautiful Piece; Packs a Punch

I've wanted to own a replica of a Desert Eagle for a long time, and this airsoft pistol fulfills just that. It's a beautiful 1:1 scale replica, and I was impressed when I found out that you can easily disassemble and reassemble it as well. The heavy blowback is super cool, however it does come at a cost of expelling large amounts of CO2. It's accuracy is pretty darn good, putting a group of about 4-5 inches from roughly 30 feet away. Overall, a great piece that I think many BB gun fans would love to own.

AWESOME GBB FOR $200

This deagle is 100% worth the money and is a fun gum to shoot. There’s a healthy amount of kick coming from the solid metal upper which makes the gun look and feel more realistic. Great value for an awesome gun.
