The stainless-steel guns bore the legend MR1911 laser engraved on the slide in small letters. This leaves the majority of the left side slide flat blank for those who might want to personalize their gun by engraving their name or message there. Similarly, the right side of the slide is also a blank billboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are no mechanical or material changes with the new MR1911s. As I mentioned earlier, I\u2019ve had the opportunity to review more than a few of these 1911s. They all left me with a very favorable impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Magnum Research manufactures its guns to MRI\u2019s specs. They feature a Series 70 style frame, without a firing pin safety. The frame comes from a precision cast, machined from high quality steel. Slides machine from solid billets of steel. All three styles of 1911s share these common traits. They all have extended thumb safeties on the strong side only. BUL outfits the guns with a high-sweep beavertail grip safety. It includes a memory bump on its tail. The bump engages even if the shooter uses a thumb on top of safety grip, like I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Metal injection molded (MIM) parts make up the gun\u2019s lockwork. The skeletonized hammer, sear and disconnector combine to give the user a trigger pull between 4 and 5 pounds. It includes a lightweight aluminum trigger. Additionally, it adjusts for overtravel. MRI specs the magazine release to be longer than standard and that\u2019s a help for those with smaller hands to release the mag without changing their shooting grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BUL checkers the frontstrap as well as the aluminum mainspring housing to give the shooter a very secure firing grip. Textured G10 grips also aid in this endeavor. To aid in speedy reloads BUL bevels the frame\u2019s magazine well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The slide features wide and deep cocking serrations fore and aft and BUL also lowers and flares the ejection port to give the empty casing every opportunity to exit the gun unimpeded. Match-grade, stainless-steel barrels come standard, and 9mm guns use a supported barrel. Meanwhile, the .45 ACP guns use a standard, unsupported barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When I asked DePorter if MRI had any intention of making a Commander size gun with an alloy frame she said no; the only addition to the MR1911 in the near future would be to add a 10mm version to the line-up. I had a chance to shoot a prototype of the 10mm gun and it is a sweet shooting pistol!<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, don\u2019t let the name change throw you! Magnum Research still imports the same great 1911s from Israel. But today it marks them differently. Take a look at Magnum Research\u2019s 1911 line-up at www.magnumresearch.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Magnum Research 1911: The Gun Formerly Known as 'Desert Eagle 1911'","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"magnum-research-1911-pistol","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/10\/21\/magnum-research-1911-pistol\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":2414,"post_author":"850","post_date":"2020-10-16 01:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-16 05:00:00","post_content":"\n At the end of September, we hosted the 2020 Athlon Outdoors Rendezvous<\/a>. Its the fourth annual event of its kind where we have 30 manufacturers our to a private range for three days of shooting. As we walked from station to station on the last day of the 2020 event, something stopped us dead in our tracks at the Magnum Research booth. We looked at Magnum Research rep and asked, \"Is that what we think it is?\" Her answer: \"Oh, the Punisher Trump Desert Eagle?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n That was we needed to hear. We grabbed it and started shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Magnum Research always does the Desert Eagle justice. Over the years, we've seen plenty of flashier Desert Eagle variants from Magnum Research, including the White Tiger model<\/a> and the more recent engraved Presidential model<\/a>. However, the all-new Punisher Trump model takes things to an entirely different level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The standout feature on the new Eagle is obviously those Trump Punisher grips. Punisher grips are one of those novelty customizations some people enjoy and others find tacky. We don't care what side of that fence you're on. If you can't admit that adding a Trump hairline to the mix isn't incredible, then it's your loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Outside of the grip, everything else on the new model is pretty much standard. It is available in .50 AE and features a stainless frame and slide, as well as a 6-inch barrel. It also comes with standard Hogue grips in the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly is MSRP and how to get one. MSRP comes in at $2,455. Magnum Research also partnered with Palmetto State Armory on the launch, which just went live Thursday. We don't imagine these will last, so if you're thinking about it, don't wait too long.
