  4. New: Taurus Raging Hunter 460 S&W Magnum

 

Long in development, the newest revolver in the Taurus catalog is a beefy compensated Raging Hunter chambered in the very capable .460 S&W Magnum. 

The new 10.5-inch barrel Raging Hunter model features a proprietary compensator that very effectively tames the recoil of the 460. We tried it on the range at SHOT Show this week and it felt akin to a stout .357 in a 3-inch or a full house .44 Mag in a Model 29. 

Taurus says the revolver's muzzle brake is the first of its kind and helps tames the felt recoil of .460 Mag for the shooter, allowing rapid follow-up shots. 

We were able to get a sneak peek of the new Raging Hunter .460 model while visiting Taurus late last year-- and it was impressive even in the photo studio. Although the company had already marketed an 8.37-inch variant, it had a more traditional profile sans compensator.

Note the fiber optic in the muzzle brake and the top Picatinny rail, the latter of which provides an excellent optic mounting platform. The production model has picked up a bottom rail for attaching stabilizing devices like bipods or shooting sticks. (Photo: Paul Peterson/Guns.com)

MSRP of the newest Taurus Raging 460 Magnum is $1,269.
