Triggers: Spec Ops Pistols

It was amusing as hell to see Wil Willis show why the famous Desert Eagle is not a good choice for a special forces sidearm:
It weighs almost four pounds (about 1.7kilos)
It's 11 inches (27cm) long
The length and bulk make it hard to conceal.
The length means that you draw and draw and draw before it clears the holster
It's hard to "double tap" with it
It's got enough recoil that it's hard to keep on target
It's heavy enough that you have to actively compensate for the weight.

It's fun to shoot, though. ;)

Oh, it was also fun to see how much silencers don't suppress the volume of a shot being fired.
