The Desert Eagle, referred in Grand Theft Auto IV as a "Combat Pistol", is a more powerful handgun than the [[Pistol]], but sacrifices ammunition capacity for it, holding only nine rounds in the magazine as opposed to seventeen rounds for the Pistol. The Combat Pistol can be purchased from any of the three gun shops in Liberty City for $1,500 and every additional magazine is $100, but cannot be purchased from [[Little Jacob]]. You can get it for free without cheating, at the beginning of the game. You must first go to the weapon store. Aim for the dealer's leg and shoot; he will draw his Desert Eagle. Kill him and pick up the weapon. Be warned, some guards armed with shotguns will appear round the corner. This, like all other pistols, can be fired from a car, but with its semi-automatic capabilities and 9 round magazine make it nearly useless in drive bys and car chases in the eyes of some players. Though, if you are skilled enough you can take out rival drivers with a single well placed round. The Desert Eagle is more powerful than the [[Glock]], however the Glock has double the magazine capacity, allowing 15 rounds to be fired in the time it takes to fire all 9 shots including reloading from the Desert Eagle. | The Desert Eagle, referred in Grand Theft Auto IV as a "Combat Pistol", is a more powerful handgun than the [[Pistol]], but sacrifices ammunition capacity for it, holding only nine rounds in the magazine as opposed to seventeen rounds for the Pistol.
