The Taurus Raging Hunter .44 Magnum Revolver, 6.75-Inch Ported Barrel, Black, 6-Shot is a black hunting revolver from Taurus chambered in .44 Magnum (Taurus part no. 2-440061RH). The 6.75-inch barrel is ported, and the angular barrel design and factory-tuned porting are there to cut weight and muzzle lift. A 6-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 .44 Magnum version holds six rounds instead of five. Taurus lists an overall length of 12.60 inches for this barrel length.
