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 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 where losing the paint and also in some of the high spots. Over all it worked very well and had good fit and finish.

Realism: The KWC Desert Eagle .50 is an accurate replica of its real steel counterparts and has the 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 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.
