Name one. Name me an expert in the field who has said this. Citations would be nice, but let's just hear the name.

in the aspect the Desert Eagle is designed for - the maximum power for a handgun - it is second to none.

You're way behind the times. Ever heard of the Smith & Wesson X-Frame revolvers? The .500 and .460 S&W Magnums are both vastly more powerful, the .500 Magnum horribly unpleasantly so. With a 325-grain projectile, the .50 Action Express generates 1229 ft/lbs of energy at the muzzle, which is quite a lot. However, the .460 develops 2826 ft/lbs with a 300-grain bullet, and the .500 gets 3031 ft/lbs from a 350-grain bullet. So using projectiles in the same weight-for-charge range, the .50 Action Express (the Desert Eagle's primary round) is at a nearly 3/1 disadvantage. Both of these hip-howitzers have been around for about five years now. They're not good for much except bear protection and long-range big-game handgun hunting (popular for wild hogs, elk, etc), but they're -very- good for that.
