You will have the same problem with the 44 mag desert eagle. I never had a problem with my .44 mag Desert Eagle with accurate shooting,I hit better with it than my S&W 4506 .45ACP or my S&W Model 27[I am a pretty good sized guy with big hands to grip the Eagle with].I even deer hunted with it and never had a problem with hitting the target at a reasonable range.Even my former 5' 1" 100 pound stepdaughter was very good shooting it,with the weight and action the gun did not kick much more than a hot loaded .357.But I will have to agree that my .45 is a better choice in a low light,self defense mode...the muzzle blast from the 44 Desert Eagle will blind you.I chose the .44 over the .50 due to the cost of ammo[and finding it here] but if I ever decide to up-gun it,I can buy the .50 barrel and clip kit. The owner of the range seems to think my problem with the 50 desert eagle is age related, same with the 44. Depending on the outside temp and humidity, really seems to affect my shooting of either one. On hot, dry summer days, I have little problems that if I take my time, doesnt matter. Now my 1911, is in my opinion, a better balanced and weighted pistol. But then I have been shooting the damn thing for about 25 years. Now to piss off the anti gun people. My preferred home defense load in the 45 is hydroshocks, or wad cutters. That way even if I hit a limb, they aint going anywhere fast. Of course all this is IF I get to the intruder before Princess does. This is here when she was just a youngin.
