The Desert Eagle L5 is a lightweight Mark XIX variant built with a hard-coat anodized aluminum frame and a 5.0 in steel slide and barrel.

L5 models include a top Picatinny-style optics rail (single-slot compatible) and a true Picatinny accessory rail on the frame dustcover, fixed combat sights, and are offered in multiple finishes including an all-black option.
