An upgraded Desert Eagle Mark XIX with a longer barrel and an optic sight (called the "Lightning Hawk" in-game), is apparently a hand cannon that the Special Tactics and Rescue Squad (STARS) operators use. Ported from Resident Evil 2 (RE2)/Biohazard 2 Remake. 

An iconic firearm made famous through video games and movies, the collaborated American and Israeli designed Desert Eagle is truly a "hand cannon" due to the massive cartridges it is chambered in. As much as it's immense power and reliability in video games, the same thing cannot be said for it's real life counterpart. Bulky, heavy and recoil extreme, makes it hard for any operator to weld on the battlefield. Nevertheless, the Desert Eagle is still fun to use for blowing big holes into things, especially zombies.
