Taurus Raging Hunter .357 Mag Revolver 7rd Black
$970.84
The Taurus Raging Hunter .357 Mag Revolver 7rd Black gives you seven rounds of .357 Magnum with factory porting and a cushioned grip for reduced recoil, plus an integral Picatinny rail for optics—built for hunters and serious EDC carriers who need a field revolver that performs.
The Taurus Raging Hunter .357 Mag Revolver 7rd Black is a purpose-built field revolver that brings big-bore hunting capability into a manageable, seven-shot package. It’s not a range toy—it’s a working gun designed for short- to medium-range hunting and serious outdoor carry. The large frame eats recoil, the factory porting keeps your sights on target, and the integral Picatinny rail lets you mount a red dot or light without aftermarket drilling. If you need a revolver that pulls double duty as a hunting sidearm and a trail companion, this is it.

Key Features
- Factory-Tuned Porting System — Why it matters: Reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil so you can get back on target faster for follow-up shots, especially with hot .357 loads.
- Cushioned Insert Rubber Grips — Why it matters: Soaks up vibration and shock, making extended shooting sessions more comfortable and improving control during rapid fire.
- Integral Picatinny Rail — Why it matters: Lets you mount optics, lights, or lasers directly to the frame without a gunsmith—perfect for low-light hunting or personal defense setups.
- Adjustable Rear Sight — Why it matters: Lets you dial in windage and elevation for different loads or distances, giving you precision from 10 yards out past 50.
- Seven-Round Cylinder — Why it matters: Two extra rounds over a standard six-shooter mean more firepower between reloads, critical in a hunting or defensive scenario.
Who It’s For
This revolver is built for the hunter who carries a backup gun on public land, the backpacker who wants a reliable sidearm against four-legged threats, and the EDC enthusiast who appreciates a heavy-frame revolver for open carry. It’s also ideal for shooters who want a .357 that handles stout loads without punishing their hands. If you spend weekends in the woods or hunt deer with a handgun, the Raging Hunter fits your kit.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Ported barrel and cushioned grips make full-power .357 manageable for extended range sessions.
- Pro: Integral rail means no drilling or tapping to mount optics—just attach and zero.
- Pro: Seven-round capacity gives you an edge over traditional six-shot revolvers.
- Con: At 53 ounces unloaded, it’s heavy for concealed carry—this is a belt or chest holster gun, not an appendix-carry piece.

FAQ
Is the Taurus Raging Hunter .357 Mag 7rd Black accurate for hunting?
Yes. The adjustable rear sight and integral Picatinny rail let you mount a red dot or use the iron sights for precise shot placement. With quality .357 hunting loads, it’s accurate to 50 yards and beyond.
Will this revolver handle .38 Special +P rounds?
Yes. The Raging Hunter is rated for .357 Magnum, but it can safely fire .38 Special and .38 Special +P without issues. Just note that porting may be less effective with lighter .38 loads.
How does the porting affect noise and flash?
Porting directs gases upward, which reduces muzzle rise but increases perceived noise and flash for the shooter. It’s a trade-off: better control for louder blast. Ear protection is mandatory.
Can I mount a red dot directly to the rail?
Yes. The integral Picatinny rail accepts standard ring mounts or direct-attach optics like the Vortex Venom or Holosun 507C. No adapter plate needed.
What holsters fit the Taurus Raging Hunter?
Because of the large frame and 6.75-inch barrel, look for holsters specifically designed for the Raging Hunter or large-frame revolvers. Brands like Simply Rugged and Diamond D make chest and belt holsters that fit.
