Where could I buy a Desert Eagle .45 or .50 handgun? No gunshops where I live sell them and the only one which is in New York has them on backorder- for a year! I want it purely aesthetics. I've seen guys use them at my local firing range they blow targets to smithereens.

Like just for recreation, say I wanted to buy the best brand name Desert Eagle available. Which one would that be?

I've been looking and I might been mistaken but aren't there different "sizes" of the desert eagle. I know there are different size of rounds. If so, what is it?
BTW I don't know anything about guns.

im buying a desert eagle when i turn 18 (hopefully) but i was wondering if there is a permit that you need to acquire to buy a desert eagle.

is it like firing a real desert eagle or is it just a little kick to make it feel a little more powerful?

I am looking to purchase something for protection and I the Desert Eagle would be appropriate. Does anybody know roughly how much it will cost, or maybe where I can get one?

Can you buy a suppressor for a desert eagle and do they make subsonic rounds for it? I was just wondering.

I'm looking into buying a handgun and I've always been a fan of the way a desert eagle looks.

Is it all apperance? Would another gun be better for me?

(Me being a 21 year old girl, lol.)
The reason I'm looking for a gun is because I work nights managing a movie theatre that's located across the street from an apartment comoplex that's notorius for high crimes including drug, rape, muggins, and murder.
