The RH500 configuration pairs a stainless-steel barrel and frame with a barrel-in-shroud construction secured by a front nut. The result is a rigid assembly purpose-built for the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge and the extended 8.375 in ported barrel.
An integral MIL-STD-1913 top rail is machined into the barrel shroud for direct mounting of compatible optics or accessories. Fixed front blade and a fully adjustable rear sight provide precise iron-sight alignment when optics are not installed.
The unfluted 5-shot cylinder uses a dual-lock system for added cylinder retention. The revolver operates in double-action/single-action, and a transfer bar safety is incorporated.
Ergonomics include black, finger-grooved rubber grips for a secure hold. The two-tone finish contrasts a matte stainless frame with a matte black cylinder, and the revolver carries factory markings: "TAURUS ARMAS MADE IN BRAZIL" and "Taurus USA, Bainbridge, GA."
Factory identifiers and components are consistent with the Raging Hunter series: submodel RH500, internal model code 500H, and manufacturer part number 2-500085RH.
