There's a reason the Raging Hunter took home American Hunter's Handgun of the Year Golden Bullseye back in 2019. Taurus set out to build a purpose-driven hunting revolver that didn't cost a fortune, and this six-shot .44 Magnum delivers on that promise. This particular model wears the two-tone treatment, a stainless frame paired with a black barrel shroud and cylinder, and at 5.12 inches it's the shortest barrel in the lineup, which makes it a great middle ground between a dedicated hunting gun and something you can comfortably pack on your hip all day.
The barrel setup is the clever part. Taurus sleeves a stainless steel barrel inside a hard-anodized aluminum housing, which trims forward weight without giving up rigidity. Add eight ports flanking the front sight plus a gas expansion chamber, and you get a revolver that stays surprisingly flat when you touch off full-power magnum loads. The rubber grips with cushioned inserts soak up what's left, so a long range session won't leave your hand buzzing. Owners consistently mention how manageable the recoil is compared to other big-bore wheelguns, and the smooth double action trigger gets plenty of praise too.
The Picatinny rail is machined right into the barrel shroud, so there's no drilling, tapping, or hunting down adapter plates. Drop a red dot on it and you're set for the deer stand or hog country. Prefer irons? The fixed front and fully adjustable rear sight handle short to medium range work just fine. You'll also notice the dual cylinder release, one latch up front and one at the rear, which adds extra lockup strength for heavy magnum pressures.
At roughly 49 ounces, this Raging Hunter carries enough heft to settle down recoil without feeling like a boat anchor on your belt. It also runs .44 Special for lighter practice days, which keeps range time affordable and fun. Whether it rides along as a backup in bear country or serves as your primary handgun hunting rig, this one is ready to work straight from the box.
Yes it can. Any revolver chambered in .44 Magnum will safely fire .44 Special, and it's a great way to keep practice sessions cheap and easy on the hands. Plenty of owners run Special loads for plinking and save the full magnum stuff for hunting.
It's far more pleasant than you'd expect from a big-bore magnum. The eight barrel ports and gas expansion chamber vent gases upward to fight muzzle rise, and the 49-ounce weight plus cushioned grips absorb a lot of the push. Full-power loads still let you know they're there, but follow-up shots come back on target quickly.
Absolutely. The Picatinny rail is machined directly into the barrel shroud between the front sight and the frame, so any rail-mounted red dot or handgun scope goes on with basic tools. If you'd rather run irons, the adjustable rear sight lets you dial in your preferred load.
That's a signature feature of the Raging series. There's a release at the rear of the frame plus a second latch on the crane, and both must be pressed to swing the cylinder out. The dual lockup adds strength and keeps everything tight under heavy magnum pressures.
