Reliable, customizable, and downright iconic—the Desert Eagle deserves a place in every collection.

But if you’re considering using your Desert Eagle for everyday carry, responsibility is a must. You need a holster that can support fast, smooth draws and unmatched safety.

Let’s explore what to look for in a Desert Eagle holster and the features that set exceptional accessories (and shooters) apart.

#1 Rugged Materials

As you shop for a Desert Eagle holster, keep practicality at the top of your mind. Your holster needs to withstand:

• Your movement – Think about the sheer amount of movement you do every day—your holster needs to hold up to your daily routine.
• The elements – Whether you’re carrying for protection on a long-distance or running errands on a rainy day, your holster should protect your pistol from the weather.
• Repeated draws – You’ll likely take your pistol out of the holster at least once a day—even if you’re not drawing to shoot, you’ll still have to stow it. Your holster needs to withstand the friction of repeated draws.

The best material for a Desert Eagle holster? Kydex. It’s waterproof, scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and holds its shape without fail. There’s a reason why Kydex is a go-to choice for gun holsters, knife sheaths, and other tactical gear.

#2 Adjustability

Desert Eagles are hyper-customizable—stock models pair incredibly well with optics, lights, and other accessories.

But a highly customizable pistol needs a highly customizable holster. One that can accommodate added accessories or simply personal preferences.

Keep an eye out for Desert Eagle holsters with adjustable retention screws. Adjusting these screws can help you fine-tune your draw and boost your overall comfort (especially if you’re concealing).

Speaking of concealed carry, we also recommend a holster that’s compatible with accessories like appendix carry wings or other attachments that can reduce printing. Depending on your everyday needs and your wardrobe, printing should also be a major consideration as you shop for holsters.

#3 Limited Friction

During repeat draws, your pistol will slide against the holster. It may also rub slightly during normal movement (depending on your specific configuration). Holsters are always going to pose some level of friction.

However, you can mitigate some of this friction (and wear and tear) by choosing a holster that:

1. Minimally rubs against the trigger guard
2. Features limited texture on the inside of the holster

Limiting friction both decreases wear and supports a smooth, seamless draw.

#4 Comfort

When it comes to pistols, comfort is practical. If your holster is uncomfortable to wear, you’ll either:

1. Skip carrying altogether
2. Skip holstering—a tactic we never recommend

A comfortable holster is a worn holster, and a worn holster is a safe holster. It’s just that simple.

Due to their size, a Desert Eagle can pose some comfort concerns for concealed carry. The solution? Find a holster with a soft lining on the outside—the part of the holster that will press against your skin in appendix carry.

While it might seem like a luxury, comfort is a must.

Ten stages. Two guns. One goal: to join the ranks of the world’s best shooters.

Lynx Brutality 2025 is a physically demanding, two-day shooting competition in Kočevje, Slovenia. With three divisions and ten tactical courses, seasoned competitors simply won’t want to miss the most exciting tactical shooting competition Slovenia has ever seen.

Let’s break down what to expect.

The Competition

Lynx Brutality is modeled after the Brutality Match: a two-gun shooting competition run by InRangeTV’s Karl Kasarda and Ian McCollum since 2009. Part marksmanship course and part endurance challenge, a Brutality Match is an unmatched competitive experience.

Over the course of two days, Lynx Brutality competitors will:

• Run, crawl, crouch, and climb through our challenging course
• Shoot from awkward, uncomfortable angles
• Perform challenging physical tasks (like throwing kettlebells)

Using a pistol and a rifle, entrants will showcase their shooting abilities while withstanding high-level physical demands.

The Rules

During each of ten stages, shooters will use either a pistol or a rifle to hit targets while moving through a pre-set obstacle course—all while tackling various mentally and physically taxing challenges.

But this year, we’ve made some major changes:

• Only intermediate rifle calibers allowed – Leave your .22 at home—this is a competition for .223, 7.62×39, 5.45×39, and other intermediate cartridges.
• Silencers and suppressors encouraged – This year, we’re encouraging competitors to use suppressors and silencers. Ticketholders will receive a voucher for suppressors and muzzle devices that they can use at the Polenar Technical Store.
• Tickets are sold out – The hype is real—tickets sold out in 52 seconds.

The competition features three main divisions:

1. Open – Other than meeting cartridge requirements, competitors can use any gear they choose as long as their build is safe.
2. Irons – Irons competitors are limited to iron sights. Non-aiming accessories (like bipods and grips) are allowed. Competitors have a 30-round magazine limit for rifles and a 15-round limit for pistols.
3. Armored – While Open competitors can remove gear throughout the competition if they’d like, Armored shooters must carry all of their gear throughout the competition. They also have additional mandatory equipment. Shooters must carry a minimum of 12kg of gear during each stage.

We’ve also opened the competition to sub-divisions like:

• PCC (pistol caliber carbine)
• LARP (live-action roleplay—themed clothes and weapons welcome)
• Madlad (for bolt action rifles and/or revolvers)

The expectations are high—are you up for the challenge?

The Details

The main match will be held 30-31 May, 2025 at Lynx Pro training center in Kočevje, Slovenia.

Spectators are welcome to watch the entire competition on the big screen in our Gun Expo space—you won’t miss a second of the action. Throughout the event, non-competitors can also browse our Gun Expo and pick up items like:

• Firearms
• Tactical gear
• Pyrotechnics
• Medical items
• Airsoft equipment
• Firearm accessories

For spectators, a food truck will be available near the Gun Expo space. Competitors, however, will need to pack food and water and refuel between stages.

The Real Competition? Getting Tickets.

Lynx Brutality is slated to be one of the highest-profile, most competitive marksmanship experiences of the year—and tickets are already sold out. We’re excited to host competitive shooters and non-competitors for a two-day celebration of world-class marksmanship.
