>>63901521>you need proper gripping and then hot fucking ammo which has enough jacketingNah, all 3 .357 mag barrels I have will literally run any .357 magnum load Iโve put in it, a feeding friendly bullet shape helps but Iโve shot about 2,500 rounds of .357 mag through them with little trouble, and grip technique doesnโt really matter as much for .357 since the gun is heavy enough and low recoil enough that you can pull the trigger and just blast.
The main issue with the Desert Eagle is once you fire it enough, the trigger bar safety will stop positively engaging leading to a dead trigger, some lube fixes it but that is the most common malfunction I run into.
Oh and hardcast is fine, the jacket tends to get shredded like an apple peel in the compensated barrels I have, so I kinda prefer hardcast if Iโm firing at enclosed range.
