The Raging Hunter earned its reputation the old fashioned way, by winning the American Hunter Handgun of the Year Golden Bullseye and then backing it up at the range. This .357 Magnum version gives you seven rounds in a large-frame double action revolver with a 5.12 inch barrel, which hits a sweet spot between packability and sight radius. It also runs .38 Special +P, so you can burn through affordable practice ammo all afternoon and save the full-house magnum loads for hunting season.
The barrel design is the headline here. Taurus sleeves a steel barrel inside an aluminum housing, which trims weight and gives the gun that distinctive angular profile. Factory-tuned porting and a gas expansion chamber vent gases to fight muzzle rise, so follow-up shots come back on target faster than you would expect from a magnum wheelgun. The full-length Picatinny rail up top means mounting a red dot or handgun scope takes minutes, no gunsmith required, and the fixed front and adjustable rear sights are ready to go straight out of the box if you prefer irons. A dual lockup cylinder keeps everything tight through heavy loads.
At around 49 ounces, this revolver has enough heft to soak up recoil, and the rubber grip with its red cushioned insert takes the sting out of the rest. Owners consistently praise the fit and finish along with the accuracy, and the seven-shot cylinder gives you an extra round over the typical six-gun. The matte black oxide finish over the steel frame shrugs off field wear and keeps glare down in the woods.
This is a natural pick for short to medium range handgun hunting, a trail companion in hog or whitetail country, or just a seriously fun range gun. The single action trigger rewards careful shots on game, while the double action pull is there when you need it quick. If you have been wanting a do-it-all magnum revolver that is optics ready from the factory, this one checks the boxes.
Yes. Like any .357 Magnum revolver, it safely fires .38 Special and .38 Special +P loads. That makes practice sessions a lot easier on the hands and the wallet, and you can step up to full magnum loads whenever you want.
It is. The barrel shroud has a full-length Picatinny rail machined in from the factory, so you can bolt on a red dot or a handgun scope without drilling, tapping, or aftermarket mounts. If you prefer irons, the fixed front and adjustable rear sights work well as they come.
It is very manageable for a magnum. The gun weighs around 49 ounces, the barrel porting vents gas to cut muzzle rise, and the cushioned insert in the rubber grip absorbs a good chunk of what is left. Hot loads still let you know they are magnums, but follow-up shots come quick.
For short to medium range hunting, yes. The 5.12 inch ported barrel gives .357 Magnum loads solid velocity while keeping the gun compact enough to carry comfortably in a holster all day. Pair it with a red dot on the rail and it makes a capable setup for hogs, deer at reasonable distances, and trail carry.
