this Taurus Raging Hunter revolver is sexy looking? I realize it's a Taurus...but really...how bad can you fuck up a revolver?

Anybody not skeered to admit they have one?

Looks okay I guess.

I have a raging bull, been a good gun although it has ridden the safe since I went back to 10mm for bear protection years back...My boy will shoot it once in a while...

Which 10? (Slight hijack, the revolver looks interesting, but not in the market)

Yes.
Yes, you can.
Nobody in their right mind buys a Taurus, unless you mean
Ford, and then, nobody in their right mind buys a Taurus.

Years ago, a buddy got a Bull in .454. Timing was off enough that it spit casing material out at the cylinder gap.

Taurus fixed it for him, but still. It originally went out the door that way.

Looks like a big black ribbed dildo

From just looking at the picture I know I'd like it a lot better if the lines didn't shift so abruptly from the barrel sleeve to the frame.

I'd bet there's a lot of sloppy crap like that going on that I can't see in just this picture.

Posted: 7/27/2019 2:17:50 PM EST

Meh. Maybe it will make it through a couple of hundred rounds before it has timing issues.

Taurus, never again.

We have 2. Both are the Trackers. One 357 in titanium and a 44 in stainless.

The wife took a large mule deer at 40 yards with the 357. It's light, durable has very manageable recoil considering the weight. It's just loud.

The 44 is the same size frame, 5 shot and a 6" bbl. it's heavier, manageable and loud also. I'd like to replace it with the scandium S&W 44, but don't have 1k laying around.

Both of them have always worked when the trigger is pulled. I tend to think the revolvers have fewer issues than anything else, but that's my 2 based on 3 years at the gun counter sending things in for repair.

It looks idiotic, IMO.

It's kinda neat in a Judge Dredd "I AM THE LAW" kind of way, but it's also the gun you only buy once you've bought literally every other gun ever made

Needs a bayonet and tweezers and a toothpick and a spot light and ......

It looks attractive. I don't know about sexy.

I doubt I will ever own one and in general I like revolvers.

Out of my 30 revolvers I have I think 3 of them are Taurus 38s.

They have been good guns so far.

I wasn't seriously thinking of buying one, I just like the looks of the barrel shrouded pistola.

My usual tastes in pistols tend towards custom 1911s, old Sigs, FNs, HKs, and Stainless big caliber revolvers.

They can fuck up revolvers just fine. Had to send two 454 raging bulls back because the lockwork basically got battered go dust.

It Looks like a shitty Taurus revolver with a deagle barrel...

My very old comparison of a S&W and Taurus.

Sorry OP. I look at that and I don't get one single sexy thought.

If you gave me one in .357 with a 6.25 barrel I would take it

I had one in 454 Casull, never had a single problem with it. I loaded all of my own ammo for it, from lite loads to heavy and it never had a problem, even with 405 gr bullets. Sold it to a friend and bought a 500 S&W, he still shoots it and it still runs fine, I should've kept it.

I dont care for the rail on top of the barrel/machined into it, takes away from the looks of the pistol. I would buy another one, just without the rail on it.

I don’t hate it.

I’ve always liked the performance center 686

It is generally a good looking revolver. However, the lower portion of the grip looks out of proportion to the rest of the revolver...it just looks a little too small to balance out visually.

The 9mm guys will hate it because capacity.

I have two Taurus revolvers in .38 special. They’ve been good. Pretty accurate for how small they are.

My buddy has shot the crap out of his Raging Bull in .44 mag.
