The .500 S&W Magnum is the most powerful factory revolver cartridge you can buy, and the Raging Hunter is Taurus answering the folks who wanted their favorite hunting wheelgun chambered for it. This is the 8.375 inch barrel version in all black, holding five rounds in a beefy unfluted cylinder that adds weight right where you want it when you touch off a full power load. Factory barrel porting vents gas upward to fight muzzle rise, and the target crown at the muzzle protects the rifling for consistent accuracy shot after shot.
Nobody will tell you a .500 S&W is gentle, but this revolver does more than most to take the sting out. The cushioned rubber grip has a soft insert along the backstrap that soaks up recoil before it reaches your hand, and the long ported barrel keeps the muzzle from climbing into next week. Taurus also uses a dual cylinder lock, latching at the rear and at the crane, to keep everything tight when the heaviest magnum loads go off. If you want lighter practice sessions, the cylinder happily runs .500 S&W Special too, which makes range days a lot more pleasant.
The Picatinny rail machined along the top strap is the feature hunters appreciate most. Mount a red dot, a pistol scope, or run the iron sights, a fixed front paired with a fully adjustable rear, and dial in your preferred hunting load. The DA/SA action gives you a crisp single action pull for deliberate shots on game, and the transfer bar means the hammer can't reach the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled all the way through.
Whether it rides on your hip as backup on a dangerous game hunt or serves as your primary for hogs, black bear, and anything else on four legs, this Raging Hunter brings serious authority in a package built to handle it for the long haul.
Yes. Just like .38 Special in a .357 Magnum, the shorter .500 S&W Special chambers and fires fine in this revolver. It's a smart way to practice more often with a lot less recoil, then save the full power magnum loads for hunting season and sighting in.
It's a stout cartridge, no way around that, but this is one of the more comfortable platforms to shoot it in. The barrel porting, the heavy unfluted cylinder, the long 8.375 inch barrel, and the cushioned rubber grip all work together to soften the blow. Owners are consistently surprised at how controllable it is compared to what they expected.
Yes, and you won't need a gunsmith. The Raging Hunter has a Picatinny rail machined into the top strap, so red dots, pistol scopes, and other rail mounted optics bolt right on. If you prefer irons, the adjustable rear sight lets you dial in elevation and windage for your hunting load.
Pretty much anything in North America. The .500 S&W Magnum has the energy for hogs, whitetail, elk, moose, and bear, and it's a popular choice as a backup sidearm on dangerous game hunts. With a mounted optic and a steady rest, it makes a legitimate primary hunting handgun at practical distances.
