What’s Included
- Taurus Raging Hunter .357 Magnum 7-shot revolver
This Raging Hunter is built around an alloy-steel frame and cylinder with a matte black oxide finish, paired with a stainless inner barrel housed in a black-anodized shroud. The 8.5 in barrel features factory porting and a gas expansion chamber to help manage recoil and muzzle rise, supported by a 1:16.5 RH twist for stability with .357 Magnum loads.
The revolver uses a dual cylinder lockup system with a rear latch and a front crane latch, adding rigidity under firing. Its DA/SA action and exposed hammer with spur offer flexible control, while the transfer bar safety provides a proven layer of mechanical protection.
Sighting is straightforward: a fixed ramped front blade and a fully adjustable rear sight. An integral full-length Picatinny rail runs the top strap, providing a solid mounting interface for optics or accessories as desired.
Ergonomics are anchored by a black rubber finger-groove grip, and overall dimensions include a 15.0 in length and a 59.2 oz weight. The cylinder holds seven rounds of .357 Magnum and is compatible with .38 Special +P. Markings include TAURUS ARMAS / MADE IN BRAZIL, BAINBRIDGE, GA, and the country of origin is Brazil.
