Taurus Raging Hunter 357 Mag 5.1" Two-Tone Revolver

Taurus Raging Hunter: Big-Bore Revolver Excellence

The Taurus Raging Hunter represents a significant leap forward in modern revolver design. This large-frame, seven-shot .357 Magnum revolver won the 2019 American Hunter Handgun of the Year Golden Bullseye Award—recognition that reflects its innovative engineering and practical performance.

Design Innovation

The Raging Hunter's revolutionary angular barrel design achieves a remarkable balance: it reduces overall weight while maintaining the strength needed for full-power .357 Magnum loads. The two-tone finish—matte black oxide cylinder and barrel paired with matte stainless steel frame—provides both aesthetic appeal and practical corrosion resistance.

Recoil Management and Accuracy

Factory-tuned porting and a gas expansion chamber work together to disperse gases directionally, significantly reducing muzzle lift. This engineering translates to quicker target acquisition and more controllable shooting, especially important when using powerful .357 Magnum ammunition. The cushioned insert grips with integrated red cushion inserts further enhance comfort and control during extended shooting sessions.
