Description
The 460 S&W Magnum is one of the most versatile hunting cartridges you can put in a revolver, and the Raging Hunter gives it a proper home. This is the Golden Bullseye Award-winning platform Taurus built specifically for handgun hunters, wrapped in a matte stainless frame with a black oxide barrel and cylinder that gives it that clean two-tone look. Five rounds of 460 on tap is enough to handle deer, hogs, and black bear at ranges that would make most handguns nervous.
How the Raging Hunter Tames the 460
Nobody pretends the 460 S&W is a soft round, but Taurus stacked the deck in your favor here. The barrel is a stainless steel tube sleeved inside an angular aluminum shroud, which trims weight without giving up rigidity. Factory-tuned porting and a gas expansion chamber bleed off gas at the muzzle to fight muzzle rise, and the rubber grip with its cushioned backstrap insert soaks up a real chunk of the recoil pulse before it reaches your hand. Between the porting and the revolver's overall heft, full-power loads are far more shootable than the numbers on the ammo box suggest.
Optics-Ready Out of the Box
The barrel shroud has a Picatinny rail machined right into the top, so mounting a red dot or a long eye relief scope takes minutes, not a trip to the gunsmith. Prefer irons? The fixed front sight and fully adjustable rear will get you dialed for your hunting load. The DA/SA action lets you cock the hammer for a light, deliberate single-action break when you're lining up on game.
One Revolver, Three Cartridges
Here's the bonus a lot of folks overlook: a 460 S&W cylinder will also safely chamber and fire 454 Casull and 45 Colt. That means mild practice sessions with 45 Colt, stout woods loads with 454, and full-throttle 460 when you need flat trajectory and maximum punch. The 6.75 inch barrel keeps the whole package holsterable on a chest rig while still squeezing solid velocity out of the big case. For the hunter who wants one wheelgun that does it all, this one is tough to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Raging Hunter 460 shoot 454 Casull or 45 Colt ammo?
Yes. Like all revolvers chambered in 460 S&W Magnum, it will safely chamber and fire 454 Casull and 45 Colt. That makes practice sessions a lot more pleasant and gives you flexible load options, from mild 45 Colt plinking to full-power 460 hunting loads.
Can I mount a scope or red dot on the Taurus Raging Hunter?
Absolutely, and you should. The barrel shroud has a Picatinny rail built into the top, so a red dot or long eye relief handgun scope bolts right on with standard rings or a rail mount. No drilling, tapping, or extra bases needed.
How bad is the recoil on a 460 S&W revolver?
Full-power 460 loads are stout, no way around it, but this gun handles them better than most. The factory porting and gas expansion chamber cut down muzzle rise, the gun's weight absorbs a lot of energy, and the cushioned grip insert takes the sting out of the backstrap. If you want to ease into it, start with 45 Colt and work your way up.
Is the 6.75 inch barrel long enough for hunting?
For most handgun hunting inside 100 yards, yes. You give up a little velocity compared to the longer barrel versions, but the 6.75 inch model is easier to carry in a chest holster and quicker to bring on target in the woods. With an optic and good ammo, this platform is capable of fine accuracy at hunting distances.
