IIRC, the Desert Eagle can be *chambered* in those calibers. You only
get one choice with it. The barrel of the DE is essentially [again,
IIRC] an integral part of the gun and would be difficult to swap out, in
addition to the chamber, magazine, recoil springs, and would also
require a magazine adapter to fit the shorter cartidges. 

The .440 Corbon is essentially a "wildcat" cartridge. A .44 shell with a
heavier bullet and higher power load, IIRC. It's kind of like a custom
round and difficult to find, unless you can find a good gunstore.
