I own an Israeli D.E. .44mag with an extra .357 upper. I took a lot of ribbing about the gun, but it never jammed in either caliber, and is remarkably accurate with lots of different jacketed loads. Having said that, it's not a gun I pick up for a quick afternoon of plinking. I have a lot of other handguns that I shoot more regularly. My D.E. became a safe queen a few years back. Reading this thread made me think about what a fun gun it was/is.
