Kahr Firearms Group

Kahr Firearms Group is the parent company behind three major firearms brands: Kahr Arms, Magnum Research Inc. (MRI), and Auto-Ordnance. The company's portfolio includes everything from subcompact 9mm pistols to the world-famous .50 AE Desert Eagle.

Magnum Research Inc., founded in 1979 by Jim Skildum and John Risdall, developed the Desert Eagle pistol from a concept on paper into a cultural icon. The pistol famously appeared on the cover of Playboy magazine with a pink-finished model. Since 2009, Desert Eagle pistols have been manufactured at MRI's facility in Pillager, Minnesota, giving the company complete control over intellectual property including patents, copyrights, and trademarks.

The Mark XIX Desert Eagle platform offers true interchangeability. Purchase one pistol and build five others with simple component swaps:

• •.357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, or .50 A.E. in your choice of caliber
• •6-inch barrel (standard) or 10-inch barrel configurations
• •Barrel and magazine changes take seconds; caliber conversions to .357 Magnum require bolt assembly swap (a few minutes)

The platform features gas operation, rotating bolt, and all-steel construction built to handle magnum-level pressures.
