Grand Theft Auto IV
The Desert Eagle in Grand Theft Auto IV is a more powerful handgun than the Pistol, but sacrifices ammunition capacity for it. The Desert Eagle, or Combat Pistol, as it's referred to in-game, holds 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. The Combat Pistol 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.

Missions
 * The Desert Eagle is found only in two or three missions, one of which is where Niko is set at a diamond deal. After that mission the player can buy a Desert Eagle at the gun shops for $1,500. The Desert Eagle is one of the most powerful weapons in IV.


 * A Dish Served Cold - If the player chooses Revenge, they can find Desert Eagles, MP10s, and AK47s. The Desert Eagle takes about 1/4 of the player's armor meter off.
