Taurus Raging Hunter 460 S&W Magnum 10.5″ Barrel 5-Round Revolver

Description

The 460 S&W Magnum is one of the hardest hitting revolver cartridges you can buy, and the Raging Hunter was built from the ground up to make it manageable. This 10.5 inch model wears a proprietary muzzle brake that Taurus says cuts muzzle flip and felt recoil about 25 percent better than conventional barrel porting, and the brake is locked in place with a dual retention system so it stays put under heavy recoil. Add in the gas expansion chamber, the cushioned rubber grip insert, and the sheer weight of a full size hunting revolver, and you get a big bore wheelgun that stays surprisingly civil when you touch off full power magnum loads.

Built for Handgun Hunting, Not Just the Bench

The Raging Hunter series took home the 2019 American Hunter Handgun of the Year Golden Bullseye Award, and the design shows why. The angular barrel shroud trims weight where you don't need it, the top Picatinny rail gives you a solid mounting platform for a scope or red dot, and this 10.5 inch version adds a bottom rail for bipods or shooting sticks. That's a genuinely useful feature when you're settled into a stand or glassing a field edge and want a steady rest for a longer shot. A blade front sight and fully adjustable rear come standard if you'd rather keep it optic free, and Taurus backs it all up with a dual lock cylinder that keeps everything secure under heavy magnum pressure.

One Raging Hunter, Three Cartridges

Like any 460 S&W Magnum, this revolver also safely chambers 454 Casull and 45 Colt, which makes practice sessions a lot more pleasant and gives you real flexibility in the field. Run mild 45 Colt for plinking, step up to 454 for deer and hogs, and save the full house 460 loads for big game or backcountry protection. The double action, single action trigger, five shot cylinder, and matte black oxide finish round out a package that works as hard on a bear hunt as it does turning heads at the range.
