The Raging Bull is a revolver manufactured by the Brazilian Taurus International firearm company.
In its larger calibers, the Raging Bull is a potent weapon with plenty of stopping power. For this reason, it is marketed as a hunter's sidearm. The .454 Casull cartridge has even been used to harvest animals as large as Cape Buffalo and African Elephants.
The Raging Bull is easily distinguished by its unique ported barrel and by the red rubber strip along the back of its grip, which cushions the shooter's hand and lowers perceived recoil.
Variants
The Raging Bull comes in several models, classified by caliber. Additionally, each model has its own barrel length and metal finish options.
Optional finishes include stainless steel, matte stainless steel and blue. Barrel options include 5", 6" and 8". Not all finishes or barrels are available for every model. All models have ported barrels, except for the 20H, 30C and Ultralite. All models have fixed front sights and adjustable rear sights.
The Raging Hornet and the Raging Thirty have yellow rubber insert strips, as opposed to the typical red strip.
Most Raging Bull variants can mount commercial optical sights or lasers with the aid of an optional screw-on Picatinny rail.
