Taurus 2-444069 444 Raging Bull Large 44 Rem Mag 6 Shot 6.50" Matte Stainless Steel Ported Barrel, Cylinder & Frame, Black Rubber Grip, Transfer Bar Safety, Exposed Hammer

The Taurus Raging Bull in .44 Magnum is a full-sized revolver built for hunters and handgun enthusiasts who demand genuine stopping power and reliability in a classic double-action platform. This model pairs a robust large frame with a 6.50-inch ported barrel, delivering the velocity and accuracy needed for hunting medium to large game, while the ported design helps manage the substantial recoil inherent to the .44 Rem Mag cartridge. With its matte stainless steel finish on both barrel and cylinder, the Raging Bull resists corrosion and wear in field conditions, making it equally at home in the hunting camp or on the range.

Six-shot capacity and a smooth trigger suited to both double and single-action fire give you flexibility in how you shoot. The exposed hammer allows thumb-cocking for precise single-action work, or you can rely on the full double-action stroke when speed matters. Taurus's Security System transfer bar safety is integrated into the design, providing an extra layer of protection during carry and handling. The black rubber grip absorbs felt recoil and provides a secure hold, even with heavy magnum loads.

At 53 ounces, this is a substantial, substantial handgun—that heft translates directly into recoil management and sight picture stability. The Patridge front sight and grooved topstrap support both iron sight shooting and optic mounting if you choose to upgrade. Whether you're pursuing handgun hunting opportunities or simply want a hard-hitting wheelgun you can trust, the Raging Bull's proven design and stainless steel construction deliver genuine working reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Taurus Raging Bull suitable for hunting?

Yes. The .44 Magnum cartridge and 6.50-inch barrel make this revolver capable of hunting medium to large game at handgun hunting distances. Many hunters rely on the Raging Bull for deer, wild boar, and similar applications where a big-bore handgun is appropriate and legal in your area.

Does the ported barrel actually reduce recoil?

The ported barrel design directs muzzle gases upward and to the sides, which helps mitigate muzzle rise and felt recoil compared to an unported barrel of the same length and caliber. This is especially useful with heavy magnum loads and helps you stay on target for follow-up shots.

Can I mount an optic on this revolver?

The grooved topstrap provides a mounting surface for optic installation if you choose to upgrade beyond iron sights. However, we recommend consulting the revolver's manual or a qualified gunsmith to ensure proper installation and zero.

What safety features does this model have?

The Taurus Security System uses a transfer bar mechanism that prevents the firing pin from striking the primer unless the trigger is fully depressed. This provides a layer of protection during normal handling, draw, and carry.
