The Taurus Raging Hunter .357 Magnum Revolver, 8.37-Inch Ported Barrel, Black, 7-Shot is a black hunting revolver from Taurus chambered in .357 Magnum (Taurus part no. 2-357081RH). The 8.37-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. Taurus lists an overall length of 15.00 inches for this barrel length.

Key Specifications

• The cylinder holds 7 rounds, and the revolver ships with one cylinder.
• Barrel length is 8.37 inches, with the angular barrel design Taurus uses to trim overall weight.
• The barrel is ported, with factory-tuned porting and a gas expansion chamber that Taurus says reduces muzzle lift for quicker target acquisition.
