Taurus Raging Bull .44

[JJGatesE30]

Who's got one? Who's shot one?

I am close to buying my first "big" revolver and the Raging Bull guns look pretty sweet. The .44 looks most appealing but I might be interested in even bigger. Anyone want to weigh in with your experiances with them?

Thanks!

i think it looks pretty sweet to my dad just bought a taurus 44 mag, it wasnt the raging bull but we just shot it a couple of weeks ago pretty sweet and everything checked out ok.

anyone?

Shooting buddy has the 10" barreled .500 and it's a sweet shooter. I would think in .44 it would be a *****cat.

I suspect you are about to get a lot of responses saying "Ruger" or "Smith and Wesson".

 

[rimfire_crazed]

Big bore revolvers are something that Taurus does surprisingly well.

 

[woodsie57]

Oh, I agree; I've owned 2 Tauri, both older .38's- great guns.

I once had a Taurus .44. It was plenty good.

Ported handgun barrels are so 1980's.

By MANY accounts, the Raging Bull series of revolvers are some of the best products that Taurus has ever made.

Unless the one you're looking at is "sloppy", then buy it with confidence.

I shot one in .454. It was really nice. But I did end up buying the Smith .44 mag because the gun itself and ammo was cheaper.

I couldn't imagine shooting the .500 S&W without it.

A few of the big bore types give ravwe reviews of Taurus' Bull series.

The .44 is supposedly liked better than the others for handloaders as the frame is WAY overtask for .44 Mangle-um, but the cylinder wall thickness is far thicker than the .454 ones. In short, they are like the .357 Redhawks, WAY overbuilt for that round and should have a lot of fun!

I will give the gun thumbs up on appearance but thumbs down on accuracy. This gun is really loud and I had a hard time staying focused do to the noice(even with muffs). Desert Eagle .44 is by far the most accurate .44 I have ever shot but it looks like a piece of scrap metal, and it weighs a ton(5lbs unloaded).

taurus revolvers are great ,never owned anything bigger then a 38 with them ,but they were extremly accurate

I can't imagine thinking that a .44 mag is just not quite enough pistol!
Can anyone speak to the differences between the Raging Bull and the Tracker? Aside from 6 shots vs 5, that is.

 

[JJGatesE30]

Thanks for the response guys. I COULD spend more and go with a Ruger or even S&W but I honestly just really like the looks of the Taurus, and as a bonus they arent crazy expensive. Might get one tommorow afternoon.

Never even fired a .44 though, plenty of .357 in a short barreled revolver, and .45 1911's but never bigger. This wouldn't be a big shooter for me, more of an occasional gun.

I own a Bull in 454,bought it to deer hunt with afew years back. Shot a 9point at 50yards that was standing facing head on hit it above the brisket it ran about 20yds and fell over. Love that gun.

There has to be one negative, I had a Taurus RB for about 2 months. From day one I was getting miss-fires, it would only dent the primer about half as much as the ones that fired. Sent the gun and ammo back to Taurus and after the second trip didn't fix it the dealer took it back and I took home another brand. Not a good experience.

Raging does not say it at all,the gun looks great.Had a redhawk shot great did not look near this good.
