I'm not a regular reader of this newsgroup, so please excuse me if
this subject has been covered recently.

I'm looking for a high-quality magnum caliber semi-auto handgun.
By 'high-quality' I mean that it should function reliably, have
reasonable accuracy, and good attention to finish and appearance.
Also, it must use off-the-shelf ammo.

Recently, I saw an ad for a Grizzly.  I asked a local gun dealer for
his opinion.  He said the quality was "trash".

I have just received some promotional literature on the Israeli Arms
Desert Eagle -- uses standard rimmed 44 mag cartridges.

  1. Does anyone have any comments on the quality of either the
     Grizzly or the Desert Eagle ?

  2. Any other brands I should be considering?

Thank you for your help.
