The main purpose of the Deagle was to prove that a semiautomatic pistol could be chambered for the 0.50 AE round, which had never been done before.
From what I understand (and I am by no means a gun expert), Desert Eagles are actually rather accurate. They're definitely designed more for style than for a tactical situation (if you visit Magnum's website, you'll notice they offer more finishing options than gun parts), but they can still get the job done.
I want to purchase a pistol soon, and I'm thinking of the 1911. John Browning was definitely a god, and the 1911 has stood the test of time like no other. The frame is also pretty large, so my hands should be rather comfortable with it.
