How hard would it be, or would it even be possible, to load a single .357 round into an empty magazine of a Desert Eagle in the dark?
Please don't hassle me by saying this is a stupid question, because I really don't know. I don't know much about guns, but I need to know for a project.

I'm writing a book okay, I'm not going to kill someone.

It shouldn't be that hard. Practice, practice, practice... But why load a single round? Load the whole magazine.

Not hard, especially if you practice a bit.
You are aware that the Desert Eagle is a very large, very heavy handgun, are you not? A .357 Magnum Desert Eagle weights well over four pounds. Desert Eagles are designed for hunting, NOT for concealed carry.

OK, despite it's popularity on TV and movies, most people who know about guns consider the DE a "Pimp" gun that only a crack head drug dealer with gold teeth would think is cool.
Was that the kind of image you were going for in your story?
To answer, someone who is functionally familiar with his firearm would have no problem reloading the magazine (Thanks so much for not saying 'clip' !) in the dark.
It's kinda like finding your ignition key and starting your car in the dark.
Your car, there's no problem doing it.
Someone else's car and you'd fumble around for while.

Do you mean loading the cartridge into the mag then into the weapon or loading it directly into the chamber, either way if you have some experience with the firearm it wouldn't be very hard to do at all. I can disassemble and reassemble most of my firearms blindfolded, loading a mag is the dark in completely plausible.

Shouldn't be hard, especially if you're familiar with the pistol. You should be able to tell by the feel which way the mag and bullet are pointing. Once it's in, just ram it home, and you're ready to rock and roll. Of course, I'm an old Marine, and they used to teach us how to reload in the dark, so I suppose it's easier for me than for most people.

As crappy as it is DJ,you have to admit the desert eagle looks pretty intimidating. And they were originally chambered in 357 magnum.Most of the ones out there are .50 or .44.

I don't know much about guns...but my husband, a Marine and a die hard hunter...he's sitting right here...he says, "If you're familiar with the weapon, it shouldn't be to hard to accomplish."
