Disclaimer: it's been a few years. Also Deagle Brand Deagles come in several calibers in addition to the memetastic fiddy. The one I got to shoot was a .44 on the old steel frame. The ammunition was the owner's handloads, which were full power, not reduced loads. He said the pistol's gas system seemed to require balls-to-the-wall powder charges to cycle the piston, and only tolerated powders in a pretty narrow range of burning rates. That seems to be pretty normal for gas-operated pistols and is one of the reasons, along with complexity and manufacturing expense, such designs have never been common.
Anyway. Ever shoot an alloy frame Colt Commander in .45, with full power or maybe +P ammunition? It felt about like that. It wasn't uncontrollable or painful by any means, but it did jump more than a steel-frame full-size 1911 in .45 would. You could definitely tell something significant took place every time you pressed the trigger.
Other things about the Deagle Brand Deagle Experience: They're heavy. They're really, really heavy. They're big and bulky and blocky and still manage to be a lot heavier than they look. The recoil spring is extremely, extremely stout. Cycling the slide by hand feels like setting a bear trap. The grip frame is, unavoidably, really long front to back, and rather wide as well, because it has to hold magazines with very long cartridges, and you may find the gun uncomfortable to hold and manipulate unless you're over six feet tall with hands to match and have a lot of upper body strength and especially a lot of grip strength. The triggers tend to be heavy and gritty, and you can feel the friction between the sear and the notch on the hammer as you pull the trigger back and the sear creeps out of alignment, and it's distracting.
On the other hand, the giant fireballs are fun. It will certainly get attention at the range. Everything about it is enormous and preposterous. Minus several million for practicality, but ten out of ten for fun.
