When I first saw the Taurus Raging Hunter I knew I had to check it out. Its appealing silhouette and lightweight construction had me hooked. I was intrigued by the idea of a large capacity, home protection revolver with heavy hitting power and a reliable tracking system. Well, after putting several hundred rounds down range, I am here to tell you, the Taurus Raging Hunter is a winner.
Let’s start with the basics. The Taurus Raging Hunter is a large capacity (6-round), .357 Magnum revolver with ported barrels. It features a stainless steel frame and cylinder, along with a matte black oxide finish, adjustable rear sights, and smooth trigger pull. It also has a 12” barrel with an external hammer. Overall, the Taurus Raging Hunter has an attractive, modern look and feel and I found it to be well balanced and comfortable in my hand.
My first impression when I opened the box was “Wow, this is a serious gun.” The Taurus Raging Hunter looks like a piece of art crafted by a master gunsmith. The lines are smooth and the finish is perfect. The adjustable rear sight gives you the ability to dial in your accuracy and the 12” barrel gives the shooter excellent visibility and maximum reaction time.
The first time I went to the range with the Taurus Raging Hunter, I was eager to see what this gun could do. I tried various .357 Magnum loads and the gun handled the recoil very well and the accuracy was excellent. I was able to consistently hit a 10” target at 50 yards and that distance with accuracy and power made me very happy. I also appreciated the smooth trigger pull and the tight grouping of shots.
An important feature of the Taurus Raging Hunter is its tracking system. This system, which is designed to keep your shots on target, is based on a unique design that uses a rail to keep the barrel straight. This works by using a small rack that engages with the barrel and a cam on the cylinder to ensure the barrel stays straight when fired. This system gives the rifle incredibly consistent accuracy and I found it to be a great way to keep my shots tight.
I had a great time shooting the Taurus Raging Hunter and I can definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and powerful home defense or target shooting revolver. The gun is well balanced, accurate and powerful, and I’ve had no problems with it at the range. The adjustable sights make it easier to get on target and the tracking system ensures accuracy. In short, I think the Taurus Raging Hunter is an excellent choice for shooters looking for a highly accurate, large capacity revolver.
