The Taurus Raging Hunter .357 Magnum Revolver, 5.12-Inch Ported Barrel, Two-Tone, 7-Shot is a two-tone hunting revolver from Taurus chambered in .357 Magnum (Taurus part no. 2-357055RH). The 5.12-inch barrel is ported, and the angular barrel design and factory-tuned porting are there to cut weight and muzzle lift. A 7-round cylinder and a double-action/single-action trigger sit behind that barrel, and cushioned insert grips are meant to keep the revolver controllable. Taurus positions the Raging Hunter as an effective alternative for short- to medium-range hunting, and the .357 Magnum version holds seven rounds. The two-tone finish pairs a stainless frame with a matte black oxide cylinder.
