Taurus Raging Hunter 500 S&W 5.12" Double Action Revolver - Model 2500055RH
Taurus
The Taurus Raging Hunter 500 S&W is a serious large-frame revolver built for hunters pursuing dangerous game or anyone who demands the raw stopping power of the most powerful factory revolver cartridge. With a 6.75-inch barrel, this double-action/single-action revolver combines manageable ergonomics with the devastating performance of the 500 Magnum—a round that sets the standard for big-game field use. If you've been hunting with a Raging Hunter in a smaller caliber and wanted to step up to maximum terminal ballistics, or you're shopping your first dedicated backup gun for remote expeditions, this five-round powerhouse delivers the precision, control, and reliability you need in unforgiving terrain.
Taurus engineered the Raging Hunter 500 with serious attention to the realities of shooting a heavy magnum load. Custom-ported barrel design vents powder gases to tame felt recoil and muzzle flip—critical when every shot counts and follow-ups matter. The unfluted cylinder adds weight aloft, further managing the impulse transmitted to your hands and wrists. A target-grade barrel crown ensures your rounds go where you aim, especially important when you're making ethical shots on game at distance. The matte stainless barrel shroud paired with a black oxide cylinder and alloy steel frame strikes a practical balance between corrosion resistance and weight, while the Picatinny rail lets you mount a scope or red dot for low-light or distance work.
Build quality centers on Taurus's dual-lockup cylinder system—a mechanical safeguard that keeps the cylinder locked tight against the frame during firing, crucial when you're cycling the recoil energy of 500 Magnum rounds. The fixed front sight and fully adjustable rear sight give you proven combat-grade aiming options, while the cushioned grip distributes pressure and maintains control through sustained shooting. At just under 64 ounces unloaded and 13.1 inches overall, it's substantial but still carries, making it equally at home as a primary hunting sidearm in big-country pursuits or a reliable backup when dangerous game is part of the equation.
