#.460S&WMagnum

This week on Wheelgun Wednesday, we’ll be taking a quick look at one of Taurus’ new revolvers for 2023 that we’re currently reviewing: the massive 10.5″, bipod and scope capable .460 Raging Hunter.  Taurus USA was kind enough to send us a review copy after we were intrigued by it at SHOT 2023.  While an in-depth review is in the works, here are our initial impressions and iron sight testing results of the new Taurus.

Over the past couple of weeks, we have taken a look at one of Taurus’ newest firearm introductions for 2021 in the Taurus Raging Hunter chambered for .460 S&W Magnum. Their entire series of Raging Hunter revolvers in their various barrel lengths, cartridges, and finishes have been tremendously popular since their inception, but the .460 S&W Magnum especially caught my eye. Maybe it is a guy thing or I have masochistic tendencies when it comes to recoil, but the Taurus Raging Hunter 460 sounded incredibly fun! One thing you criticized myself for was not getting any chronograph readings on the Taurus Raging Hunter 460 while reviewing it.

In last week’s Wheelgun Wednesday we took a close look at the Taurus Raging Hunter 460 revolver to see what makes it tick from the outside. The Taurus Raging Hunter 460 hails from the Raging Hunter family of big-bore, Taurus revolvers which now includes .38 Special/.357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .454 Casull, and new for 2021 is the .460 S&W Magnum cartridge. While I love to fondle guns as much as the next red-blooded American, there needs to be some proof in the pudding behind a close to $1K revolver. So, this week we hit the range with the Taurus Raging Hunter 460 to see how it performs and if it is something you might want to have in your stable of ‘arms. Let’s dive in and take a look!

When it comes to revolvers, my gun safe is like a “safe space.” I accept all kinds and everybody is welcome – even the big boys! One cartridge I do not have in my stable, but continually keep eyeing is the .460 Smith & Wesson Magnum cartridge (.460 S&W Mag). It is a novel round not only because it is HUGE, but also because you can shoot .45 Long Colt and .454 Casull out of any revolver chambered in .460 S&W Magnum. The ability to shoot multiple cartridges in any handgun is pretty enticing so when I heard that Taurus announced a NEW Raging Hunter 460, I had to request one from Taurus for further examination (and fun)!

Welcome everyone to the 65th edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or only have Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.
