At 49 oz the revolver has enough mass to absorb recoil, and the cushioned rubber grip does additional work. The adjustable rear blade sight handles windage and elevation. Transfer bar safety is standard Taurus practice. Full-load carry is safe. The barrel is steel with black anodized finish; the frame is carbon steel with matte black oxide. The cylinder is stainless steel. ### Usage The Raging Hunter is sized for hunting use. The 5.12-inch barrel gives good velocity from the .44 Magnum for game at handgun distances. At 49 oz it is heavy for everyday carry but steady to shoot. The adjustable sights and ported barrel make it easier to use effectively in the field than a shorter-barreled .44. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What caliber is the Raging Hunter?** A: The Taurus Raging Hunter is chambered in .44 Magnum. **Q: Who makes the Raging Hunter?** A: The Raging Hunter is made by Taurus. **Q: What type of firearm is the Raging Hunter?** A: It is a double/single action revolver with a 5.12-inch ported barrel. **Q: How many rounds does the Raging Hunter hold?** A: It has a 6-round cylinder. **Q: What barrel length does the Raging Hunter have?** A: The barrel is 5.12 inches long. **Q: Does the Raging Hunter have a ported barrel?** A: Yes.

It makes a real difference on a .44 Magnum during a long session. The overall build quality is generally well-regarded, with most users finding the revolver solid and dependable. Accuracy is cited positively across moderate range distances, and the revolver is seen as a practical hunting sidearm. The ported barrel helps with muzzle rise, though felt recoil is still stout. Weight comes up as both a positive and a concern: at 49 oz it absorbs recoil, but some users find it tiring to carry for extended periods. Trigger pull gets mixed reviews. Some find it acceptable, others want a lighter or smoother action. Aftermarket holster availability for this specific model is limited, which frustrates some buyers. Price is seen as competitive by most, with a minority feeling it runs higher than comparable options. ## Pricing **14 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | Shootingsurplus Com | $802.79 | | Grabagun Com | $809.99 | | Guns Com | $813.99 | | Buds Gun Shop | $833.49 | | Kygunco Com | $860.99 | | Gritrsports Com | $860.99 | | Primaryarms Com | $869.99 | | Centerfiresystems Com | $873.99 | | Globalordnance Com | $888.61 | | Palmettostatearmory Com | $890.99 | *...and 4 more offers* ## Reviews **Average Rating:** 5.0/5 (1 reviews) > **jules_m** (5/5): I chose this revolver specifically with target shooting in mind, and that intended use remains the center of its appeal for me.
