The Hand Cannon, or Desert Eagle, will be part of the usual loot pool. That means, you will be able to find it all over the map. It can spawn on the floor, in chests, supply drops, or even from drones at hotspots. However, currently it's just available in weapon cases.
Additionally, the Hand Cannon should appear in the new weapon vending machines, but this is not yet confirmed. Also, new NPCs are expected to sell it as well.
