Taurus Raging Hunter .44 Magnum 8.375" Two Tone

Taurus Raging Hunter .44 Magnum Revolver

The Raging Hunter represents Taurus's commitment to building a revolver specifically designed for hunting and field use. This is a large-frame, six-shot .44 Magnum built to handle the demands of serious hunters who need a reliable, powerful sidearm.

Design and Construction

The Raging Hunter employs an innovative barrel system that combines a steel sleeve inserted into an aluminum housing. This hybrid design significantly reduces overall weight while maintaining the structural integrity necessary for .44 Magnum pressures. The result is a well-balanced hunting revolver that doesn't fatigue the shooter during extended use.

The angular barrel profile contributes to the weight reduction and gives the revolver a distinctive, purposeful appearance. A Picatinny rail is integrated into the top strap, allowing you to mount optics for enhanced accuracy at hunting distances.

Recoil Management

Factory-tuned porting and a gas expansion chamber work together to manage the substantial recoil of .44 Magnum ammunition. These features disperse gases directionally, reducing muzzle lift and allowing faster target reacquisition—critical advantages in hunting situations.

Ergonomics and Control

The cushioned rubber grip insert on the large frame provides comfort during extended shooting sessions while ensuring a secure, controllable hold. The grip design helps mitigate felt recoil and allows shooters of varying hand sizes to maintain proper control.
