Magnum Research Micro Desert Eagle Features

The MDE uses fixed sights that are machined into the slide. The factory grip panels are smooth plastic but checkered wooden panels are available from Magnum Research. The blowback operation uses a modified gas system that allows a lighter slide and stronger recoil spring to be used.

Magnum Research Micro Desert Eagle Ergonomics

Ergonomics
The MDE has a small grip with a separate finger extension available for shooters with larger hands. The trigger guard is large, extending almost to the muzzle. With no external devices except the magazine release, operation is easily performed one handed. 


Magnum Research Micro Desert Eagle Fit & Finish

The MDE is available with a black or nickel plated slide. Slide to frame fitment is what you would expect from Magnum Research and internal parts are smooth in operation.


Fit and Finish

Magnum Research Micro Desert Eagle Concealability

Concealability
The MDE features no external devices, so carrying can be comfortably done without additional printing. The lack of a manual safety does suggest a good holster be used that denies unintended access to the trigger and additional concealment of any printing of the pistol.
