Taurus Raging Hunter 460 10.5 in. Two-Tone 5-Shot Revolver – Formidable Long-Range Hunting Rig

Description

The Raging Hunter 460 10.5-inch is the long-barrel end of the range, and it is closer to a carbine than a sidearm in how it is used. An exposed stainless barrel runs out of a black anodized shroud that carries a full-length Picatinny rail on top and accessory rail sections along the front, and it finishes in a large slotted muzzle brake with the front sight mounted on it.

Five rounds of .460 S&W Magnum, a matte stainless frame and a matte black oxide cylinder. This is a scoped hunting revolver, bought to be carried in a chest rig or a scabbard and shot off sticks.

What the long barrel buys you

• Velocity. The Raging Hunter 460 10.5-inch barrel gets far closer to the .460 S&W cartridge’s potential than any short revolver does
• Sight radius, and more importantly a long stretch of Picatinny rail with room to position a scope where your eye actually is
• A large slotted muzzle brake at the end of the exposed stainless barrel, which is what tames this cartridge
• Front sight mounted on the brake assembly and an adjustable rear, so it is usable with irons if the optic fails
• Forward rail sections for a bipod adapter, a light or a rangefinder mount
• The same three-cartridge cylinder: .460 S&W Magnum, .454 Casull and .45 Colt all chamber and fire
• Cushioned rubber grip with a soft insert, which on a Raging Hunter 460 10.5 build is still doing real work

How this differs from the short Raging Hunters

• The short guns use gas expansion ports cut into the shroud. This one uses a proper muzzle brake instead, and the shroud is solid
• A brake is more effective than ports and considerably louder. Everyone on the line will know when you fire it
• Weight is up substantially, which helps recoil and hurts on a long walk. A chest rig is not optional at this size
• The Raging Hunter 460 10.5 is not a carry gun by any definition. It is a hunting tool and it should be bought as one
• Scoped, the Raging Hunter 460 10.5 is a genuine hundred-yard handgun on deer, hogs and black bear
• Feed it .45 Colt for practice. A box of .460 costs more than most people want to burn learning the trigger

The .460 S&W Magnum is a standardised cartridge with chamber dimensions and pressure ceilings published by SAAMI, and it is the reason this cylinder also accepts .454 Casull and .45 Colt: the three share a case diameter and step down in length. Do not read that as a power ladder, though. A hot .454 load will outrun a mild .460 hunting load.

One thing to plan for before you buy. A 10.5-inch revolver with a scope on it needs a chest holster or a scabbard, and neither is cheap or easy to find off the shelf. Budget for one at the same time. A Raging Hunter 460 10.5 that lives in a range bag because there was nothing to carry it in is a waste of a very capable gun.

Why this revolver earns its place

• The most velocity the .460 S&W cartridge will give you out of a revolver
• A muzzle brake rather than ports, which is the more effective of the two
• Rail space to mount a scope where it actually suits your eye relief
• Three chamberings from one cylinder, so the Raging Hunter 460 10.5 can be practised with cheaply
• Stainless frame and black oxide cylinder that handle wet weather better than blued steel
• A hundred-yard handgun for anyone who wants to hunt with one rather than a rifle

Handgun hunters, guides, and shooters who want to see what a revolver cartridge can really do with enough barrel behind it. Nobody should buy the Raging Hunter 460 10.5 as a general-purpose handgun; bought as a scoped hunting rig, it is one of the most capable things on the shelf.

If this is more barrel than you want, the 6.75-inch .460 and the 5.12-inch two-tone are the carrying lengths.

For more cartridge at the same barrel length, the 10-inch .500 S&W in black and the 10-inch two-tone are the next step up. For less recoil and cheaper ammunition, the .454 Casull Raging Hunter covers two of the three cartridges this one chambers.
