The Taurus Raging Hunter 460 S&W Magnum 10.5in 5rd Revolver is a large-frame wheelgun built for serious field use and big-game defense. Chambered in the potent .460 S&W Magnum, this two-tone revolver pairs a stainless-steel frame with a dark barrel and cylinder finish. The 10.5-inch ported barrel reduces muzzle rise, and the integrated Picatinny rail lets you mount a red dot or reflex sight. A cushioned rubber grip and exposed hammer give you control for both double-action and single-action shots. This is a heavy-duty revolver that delivers the power you need for short- to mid-range encounters with dangerous game.

Key Features
- Ported 10.5-Inch Barrel – The porting vents gas upward, reducing muzzle flip and helping you stay on target for faster follow-up shots. This matters because .460 Magnum recoil can be punishing, and porting makes it manageable for follow-up accuracy.
- Integrated Picatinny Rail – A full-length rail on the barrel shroud lets you mount a reflex sight or red dot. This matters because iron sights can be hard to pick up fast in low light or against a dark target, and an optic gives you a clear aiming point.
- Cushioned Rubber Grip – The grip includes a soft insert that absorbs recoil and locks your hand in place. This matters because a secure, shock-absorbing grip prevents the revolver from twisting in your hand during heavy recoil, keeping you in control.
- Exposed Hammer for SA/DA Operation – You can cock the hammer for a crisp single-action shot or pull through double-action for faster follow-ups. This matters because you have the flexibility to choose precision or speed depending on the situation.
- Adjustable Rear Sight – The rear sight is fully adjustable for windage and elevation. This matters because you can dial in your point of aim for different loads or distances, ensuring your rounds hit where you look.
Who It’s For
This revolver is for the shooter who needs a powerful handgun for hunting or defense against large animals like bear or boar. It works for anyone who wants a reliable, heavy-frame revolver that can handle the .460 S&W Magnum cartridge and still be accurate at field ranges. If you carry a revolver for backup in the backcountry or keep one for home defense against four-legged threats, the Raging Hunter is built for that role.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Chambered for .460 S&W Magnum (also accepts .454 Casull and .45 Colt), ported barrel reduces recoil, Picatinny rail accepts modern optics, cushioned grip improves control, adjustable rear sight for precision.
Cons: The revolver is heavy at roughly 60 ounces, which can be tiring to carry all day. The 10.5-inch barrel also makes it less concealable than shorter revolvers, so this is a field or range gun, not a daily carry piece.

FAQ
What calibers can this revolver shoot?
The Taurus Raging Hunter 460 S&W Magnum is chambered for .460 S&W Magnum, but it can also safely fire .454 Casull and .45 Colt ammunition. Always check the barrel markings and use the correct ammunition per Taurus specifications.
Can I mount an optic on this revolver?
Yes. The barrel shroud includes an integrated Picatinny rail that accepts standard red dot sights and reflex sights. You can mount an optic without any additional gunsmithing.
Is this revolver suitable for concealed carry?
No. With a 10.5-inch barrel and weight around 60 ounces, this revolver is too large and heavy for daily concealed carry. It is designed for field use, hunting, and home defense against large animals.
Does the ported barrel reduce recoil significantly?
Yes. The porting vents gas upward, which counteracts muzzle rise and reduces perceived recoil by about 20-30% compared to a non-ported barrel of the same length. This makes follow-up shots faster and more comfortable.
What is the warranty on this Taurus revolver?
Taurus offers a limited lifetime warranty to the original owner. Coverage includes defects in materials and workmanship. Check the manufacturer’s website for full warranty terms.
