The .500 S&W Magnum is the biggest, baddest production revolver cartridge you can buy, and the Taurus Raging Hunter was built from the ground up to run it. This two-tone version wears a matte stainless frame against a matte black ported barrel and unfluted cylinder, a combo that looks sharp and holds up to real weather in the field. The 10 inch barrel gives that big cartridge room to build velocity, which matters when you're stretching your effective range on hogs, deer, or black bear.
Nobody will tell you a .500 Magnum is a soft shooter, but Taurus put real thought into taming it. Factory barrel porting and a gas expansion chamber bleed off gas to cut muzzle rise, the unfluted five-shot cylinder adds recoil-soaking weight where you want it, and the rubber grip with its cushioned backstrap insert takes the sting out of your palm. Taurus also fits every Raging Hunter with a dual cylinder lock, latching at both the front and rear of the crane, so the action stays tight under the heaviest loads.
The integral top Picatinny rail makes mounting a red dot or pistol scope simple, and plenty of handgun hunters do exactly that with the 10 inch model since it shoots like a short rifle off sticks or a rest. Prefer iron sights? The fixed front and fully adjustable rear will get you dialed for your hunting load without any extra hardware.
The Raging Hunter line took home the American Hunter Golden Bullseye for Handgun of the Year, and the .500 chambering is the top of that food chain. It works as a primary hunting handgun or as backup insurance in big bear country, and the DA/SA action with transfer bar gives you a crisp single-action press when it's time to make the shot count. For the money, it's tough to find another wheelgun that brings this much thump with this many field-ready features.
It's a stout cartridge, no way around that, but this is one of the more manageable platforms for it. The ported 10 inch barrel, gas expansion chamber, heavy unfluted cylinder, and cushioned rubber grip all work together to soak up recoil and keep muzzle flip down. Many owners also run .500 S&W Special or lighter handloads for practice and save full-power magnums for hunting.
Yes, and it's easy. The Picatinny rail is machined into the top of the barrel shroud, so you can clamp on a red dot or long eye relief pistol scope with standard rings or mounts. No drilling, tapping, or extra bases needed.
For dedicated hunting, absolutely. The longer barrel squeezes more velocity out of the .500 Magnum, extends your effective range, and the added weight up front helps settle recoil. If you want something to carry on your hip all day as bear protection, one of the shorter barrels may balance better, but off shooting sticks or a rest the 10 inch shines.
Just about anything in North America. The .500 S&W Magnum is the most powerful production revolver cartridge on the market, with plenty of energy for hogs, whitetail, elk, moose, and big bears at handgun hunting distances. It also has a strong following as a backup gun on dangerous game hunts.
