There are big-bore revolvers, and then there is the .500 S&W Magnum. When Taurus brought the Raging Hunter platform to this cartridge, they gave handgun hunters a serious tool for large game at a working man's spot in the safe. This two-tone version pairs a matte stainless frame with a black 6.75 inch barrel shroud, and the whole package builds on the same design that earned the Raging Hunter line the 2019 American Hunter Handgun of the Year Golden Bullseye Award.
Nobody is going to tell you a .500 Mag is a pussycat, but Taurus stacked the deck in your favor here. The factory-tuned barrel porting and gas expansion chamber vent gases upward to knock down muzzle rise, the unfluted five-shot cylinder adds mass right where you want it, and the cushioned rubber grip spreads recoil across your whole hand instead of hammering your palm. The angular barrel shroud design also trims weight compared to a traditional full-lug barrel, so it carries better on a long hike into the timber. A target crown protects the rifling for consistent accuracy, and the dual cylinder latch keeps everything locked up tight under heavy magnum loads.
The integrated Picatinny rail on top of the barrel is one of the best features on this revolver. Mount a red dot for quick shots in thick brush or a long eye relief handgun scope for reaching across a bean field. If you prefer irons, the fixed front and adjustable rear sights will get the job done. The double action, single action trigger with a transfer bar gives you a crisp single action break for deliberate shots on game.
This is a purpose-built hunting revolver for deer, hogs, black bear, and anything else that walks, and it makes a confidence-inspiring sidearm in bear country. The 6.75 inch barrel is the sweet spot in the lineup, long enough to wring good velocity out of the .500 while staying holsterable on a chest rig. Owners consistently praise the fit and finish and how shootable this platform is for the power it puts out.
It's a .500 S&W Magnum, so expect a firm push, but this platform handles it better than most. The factory porting vents gas upward to cut muzzle flip, the unfluted cylinder and steel frame add recoil-soaking weight, and the cushioned rubber grip takes the sting out of your palm. Most owners find it very shootable with full-power hunting loads and downright pleasant with lighter 350 grain ammo.
Yes, and you won't need any extra parts. The Picatinny rail is machined into the top of the barrel shroud from the factory, so it accepts red dots and long eye relief handgun scopes with standard Picatinny mounts. If you'd rather run irons, the adjustable rear sight lets you dial in your preferred hunting load.
For most hunters, it's the sweet spot in the Raging Hunter 500 lineup. You get enough barrel to build solid velocity out of the .500 S&W for deer, hogs, and bear at typical handgun hunting distances, while keeping the gun compact enough to carry comfortably in a chest holster. The target crown and adjustable sights help you make the most of its accuracy.
Yes. Just like .38 Special in a .357 Magnum, the shorter .500 S&W Special runs fine in this revolver and makes for a much softer practice session. It's a great way to build trigger time and confidence before stepping up to full-house magnum hunting loads. Just clean the chambers well afterward so the shorter cases don't leave a ring that interferes with magnum brass.
