(Please note that IMFDB prefers users to identify Desert Eagles by the specific variant, not simply as a "Desert Eagle". Use this page as a guide to familiarize yourself with the differences between the three major variants of the Desert Eagle. If you are having trouble figuring out which variant appears in a particular movie or TV show, always feel free to ask us. Thanks. -MT2008)

Desert Eagle Mark I
The Mark I is the earliest variation of the Desert Eagle put into production. First introduced late in 1983 and initially chambered only in .357 Magnum (with the .44 version appearing on the market a few years later), it is distinguishable from later Desert Eagle models by the "teardrop" shape of its safety button. The Mark I's slide release also has only a single step, while the release on the Mark VII and Mark XIX has several steps. This is the most common Desert Eagle model in films made prior to the early 1990s, though it has nonetheless appeared in numerous more recent productions (most notably Austin Powers in Goldmember).

Desert Eagle Mark XIX
The Mark XIX is the current production model of the Desert Eagle, and the most likely to be seen in movies made since 2000, particularly in its .50 AE version (which is best known as the sidearm of the Agents from The Matrix). It was first introduced in 1995, and its most obvious visual difference from the earlier Desert Eagle models in that it features scope rails over the barrel (it also has taller cocking serrations on the slide). Unlike the earlier Desert Eagle models, the Mark XIX can be switched to any caliber simply by swapping the barrels.
Also note that the .357 and .44 Magnum versions of the Mark XIX have a unique "fluted" barrel, which the .50 AE version does not have. Any Desert Eagle Mark XIX that lacks this fluting would have to be the .50 AE model.
