https://youtu.be/d29ZzSGFfWo Magnum Research has introduced the first factory-threaded-barrel Desert Eagle, offered exclusively in black. The 6-inch barrel carries the standard .50 Beowulf 49/64×20 thread pattern and ships with a dedicated piston to ensure reliable cycling when a suppressor is mounted. The pistol retains the familiar gas-operated, rotating-bolt action, weighs 4 lb unloaded and carries an estimated MSRP near $2,000. Pros Factory threading eliminates the need to cut and thread aftermarket barrels. Included piston optimizes function with suppressors. Standard .50 AE chambering and 49/64×20 thread pitch maintain compatibility with existing .50 Beowulf cans. Cons Only available in black; chrome finishes are not offered on the threaded model. MSRP remains high, around $2,000. Additional Releases CZ rolled out a ported P-10 C variant cut for the Aimpoint ACRO footprint; the optic is included and the MSRP is $179. Staccato introduced the steel-frame P4X 2011-style pistol that accepts Glock magazines, adding roughly eight ounces over its aluminum-frame sibling and carrying a $3,600 price tag. Beretta unveiled the A400 L Field, a walnut-upgraded 12-gauge semiauto with a 28-inch barrel and 3-inch chamber priced at $3,619. "If you are a lunatic like me and have a suppressor for a small 50 cal, you can see one over one of my shoulders," host John Patton remarked, underscoring the long-awaited convenience of the new Desert Eagle configuration.
