Made in Israel by IMI and marked "MAGNUM RESEARCH INC., MINNEAPOLIS MINN. MADE IN ISRAEL.", this Mark VII delivers the classic Desert Eagle architecture: a gas-operated system with a rotating multi-lug bolt and single-action operation. The Mark VII designation adds the factory Adjustable Trigger Mechanism (ATM) for fine-tuning trigger characteristics.
The 6 inch barrel features a heavy shroud, a plain top rib, and a rectangular muzzle profile. Polygonal rifling with a 1:18 RH twist supports the .44 Rem Magnum chambering, and the manufacturer advises against using unjacketed lead projectiles due to the gas system.
Sighting is straightforward with combat iron sights: a ramped front blade and a square-notch rear, delivering an approximate 8.5 inch sight radius. The slide carries rear diagonal serrations for traction and an ambidextrous, slide-mounted safety with a red fire indicator dot.
Ergonomics and controls include a single-action system with exposed spur hammer and black textured polymer grips featuring the IMI medallion. Capacity is 8+1 with the included factory IMI steel magazines, which are date-stamped "2-88 44" and "04-91 44." The factory box bears a printed serial that matches the pistol, reinforcing its provenance.
