Frequently Asked Questions
Desert Eagle .357 Magnum for sale

Is there a 357 Magnum Desert Eagle?

Yes. Magnum Research manufactures the Desert Eagle Mark XIX in .357 Magnum. It is a semi-automatic pistol currently in production, available through multiple retailers typically priced between $1,598 and $3,135. Newer L5 and L6 variants in .357 Magnum feature aluminum frames, making them lighter than other Desert Eagle models.

Is the Desert Eagle 357 reliable?

Desert Eagle Mark XIX pistols in .357 Magnum are generally reliable, though some users report occasional feeding issues with this caliber compared to .44 Magnum or .50 AE variants, possibly due to the cartridge's dimensions. Most owners find them dependable for recreational shooting. Ammunition quality matters.

How many rounds does a Desert Eagle 357 Magnum hold?

A Desert Eagle chambered in .357 Magnum holds 9 rounds in the magazine. This applies to the Mark XIX, Magnum Research's current production version. Barrel length options (6" or 10") do not affect capacity.

Can you shoot 38 Special out of a 357 Desert Eagle?

A .357 Magnum Desert Eagle can safely chamber and fire .38 Special rounds — the .357 Magnum was designed as a high-pressure .38 Special, and both are rimmed cartridges. However, the shorter .38 Special may not reliably cycle the gas-operated action, so consistent semi-automatic function is not guaranteed.

Can you swap barrels on a Desert Eagle?

Yes, Desert Eagle barrels are swappable. The primary interchangeable calibers are .50 AE and .429 DE, requiring only a barrel and magazine swap. Converting to .357 Magnum also requires swapping the bolt, making it a more involved process. Both Israeli and US-made models support these conversions.

What is an L5 Desert Eagle?

The L5 is a lightweight variant of Magnum Research's Desert Eagle Mark XIX, featuring an alloy frame and weight-reducing cuts that shed nearly a pound compared to steel models. Chambered in .357 Magnum with a 9-round capacity, it uses the same magazines and 4-pound trigger pull. Typically priced around $2,210.
