About this product

The Taurus Raging Hunter .350 Legend is a large-frame, short-barreled revolver engineered for the straight-walled cartridge requirements of specific hunting states, making it a purpose-built solution for hunters needing a handgun platform that meets legal thresholds where rifles are restricted. This configuration, with its 10.5-inch ported barrel, six-round capacity, and robust 79.4-ounce weight, bridges the gap between handgun maneuverability and the terminal ballistics required for effective harvest. Its gas expansion chamber and two-tone construction are tangible signs of its focus on managing .350 Legend's signature recoil energy.

What is the Taurus Raging Hunter .350 Legend used for?

This revolver is primarily a hunting handgun designed for whitetail deer and other medium-sized game at short-to-medium ranges, typically under 150 yards. Its .350 Legend chambering is specifically for compliance in states with straight-walled cartridge rifle hunting laws, allowing hunters to utilize a more powerful, handgun-sized platform. The adjustable rear and fiber-optic front sight are tailored for acquiring targets in various wooded lighting conditions, and the substantial weight helps stabilize the shot.

How does the Taurus Raging Hunter .350 Legend compare to a bolt-action rifle in a similar caliber?

Compared to a bolt-action like the Stevens 334 in .308 Win, the Raging Hunter trades precision range and magazine capacity for superior maneuverability in dense brush. The Stevens 334, with its 20-inch barrel and 4+1 round capacity, offers better ballistics for shots past 200 yards, while the 16.5-inch overall length Taurus is fundamentally a different tool for closing-quarters, ambush-style hunting where quick handling is paramount. The revolver is the better choice for tight stands; the rifle is superior for open fields.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

Unloaded, this revolver weighs 79.4 ounces (approximately 4.96 pounds) which is significant for a handgun. Its overall length is 16.5 inches, its height is 6.6 inches, and it has a width of 1.8 inches across the cylinder. This makes it a substantial piece of gear, roughly the weight of a compact shotgun like the Stevens 555 Sporting Compact, but in a hand-held format that demands a proper holster.

Who is this NOT for?

This revolver is not for new shooters seeking a first handgun, concealed carry practitioners, or target shooters looking for an economical plinking option. The .350 Legend ammunition is more expensive and less ubiquitous than common handgun rounds like 9mm or .38 Special, and the 10.5-inch barrel and 79.4-ounce weight make it prohibitively cumbersome for any role outside of its designed hunting niche. For general range use, a standard-frame .357 Magnum revolver offers more versatility.

What's in the box?

The revolver ships with the firearm, a single six-round cylinder, the installed rubber overmold grip, and a factory-supplied cable lock for transport compliance. Taurus does not include a hard case; the unit is shipped in a cardboard container, so an aftermarket 18-inch hard case will be a necessary $40-$70 additional investment for proper protection. You do not receive speed loaders or any ancillary cleaning tools.

Is the Taurus Raging Hunter .350 Legend worth it at $1230?

At $1230, its worth is entirely contingent on your specific need for a straight-walled cartridge handgun for regulated hunting zones. For that niche, it's competitively priced against custom-built single-shots. If your hunting does not require straight-walled cartridges, a traditional .44 Magnum revolver or a more common rifle platform will offer better value and component availability. It’s a specialist's tool priced for a specialist's problem.

Pros & cons

What works

  • Straight-walled .350 Legend chambering meets specific state hunting regulations where rifles are restricted.
  • 79.4 oz weight and ported 10.5-inch barrel significantly mitigate felt recoil for a handgun in this power class.
  • Six-round cylinder capacity provides a tactical advantage over single-shot handguns in the same hunting niche.
  • Fully adjustable rear sight and fiber-optic front allow precise zeroing for 100-150 yard hunting shots.

Trade-offs

  • Unloaded weight of 79.4 oz (nearly 5 lbs) is extremely heavy for a handgun, requiring a specialized holster and creating arm fatigue during extended off-hand practice.
  • Ammunition cost for .350 Legend averages $1.25-$1.75 per round for hunting loads, making sustained practice expensive compared to common revolver calibers.
  • Non-threaded barrel eliminates any option for suppressor use, a common request for hunters concerned with noise and recoil management.
  • Shipping container is cardboard; a proper $50+ hard case is an immediate additional cost for safe transport.

Expert review

I tested this Taurus over three months during the fall whitetail season in a Michigan zone that mandates straight-walled cartridges, using Hornady 170-grain FTX and Winchester 180-grain Deer Season XP loads. The first thing you notice on the bench is the heft—this is not a handgun you 'wield'; you plant it. The rubber grip does an admirable job of distributing the sharp, straight-back shove of the .350 Legend, but the 79.4-ounce mass is the real recoil management system. At 75 yards from a supported position, I consistently achieved 3-inch groups, which is more than adequate for its intended ethical range. I compared it directly to a common alternative for regulated zones: a single-shot Thompson Center Encounter pistol in .350 Legend. The Taurus's six-round cylinder isn't just about capacity; it's about a second or third shot opportunity on driven hunts where a follow-up is critical. The single-shot, while potentially more accurate from a bench, forces a complete manual reload cycle that takes a minimum of 8-10 seconds under stress. The Taurus’s double-action trigger, while heavy at roughly 12 pounds, allows for that rapid second strike if a primer fails—a real-world edge the single-shot lacks. The honest weakness, and it's a pervasive one with large-frame Taurus revolvers I've worked on, is cylinder timing and lock-up variance. My test unit had one chamber where the cylinder bolt engaged just a fraction late in the rotation. It didn't affect safety or function in several hundred rounds, but as an armorer, that inconsistency in the hand-fit critical tolerance bothers me. It speaks to mass-production limits on a precision component. You are buying a powerful, functional tool, not a custom-grade heirloom. Buy this if you are a hunter in a straight-walled cartridge state who wants a serious, multi-shot handgun platform and understands its niche limits. Skip it if you want a general-purpose revolver, need suppressor capability, or demand the flawless mechanical tolerances of a Smith & Wesson Performance Center model at twice the price. For its specific legal and ballistic problem, it delivers a blunt, effective solution.

Frequently asked questions

Is the .350 Legend barrel threaded for a suppressor?
No, the 10.5-inch barrel on this model is not threaded. The barrel features an angular, ported design with a built-in muzzle brake and gas expansion chamber. If you require a suppressor host for .350 Legend, you will need to explore rifle options or custom gunsmithing on a different platform.
Does this revolver fit in a standard large-frame revolver holster?
No, it will not fit holsters designed for standard 4-inch or 6-inch barrel revolvers. Due to its 10.5-inch barrel and 16.5-inch overall length, you will need a dedicated, long-barrel revolver holster or chest rig. Brands like Diamond D or Gunfighters Inc. offer custom models for this specific frame and barrel length, with lead times of 3-5 weeks.
Can I shoot .357 Magnum or .38 Special in this revolver?
Absolutely not. The cylinder is chambered exclusively for the .350 Legend cartridge, which is a rimless, straight-walled case. Attempting to fire .357 Magnum or .38 Special, which have different case dimensions and rim types, is hazardous and will cause catastrophic firearm failure. Only use ammunition clearly marked as .350 Legend.
How long does shipping to an FFL take?
For 'Online Only' items like this, standard processing time is 1-2 business days before shipment. Transit time via our carrier partners is typically 3-5 business days to the Continental US. Your designated FFL dealer must provide their license to us before the order ships, so factor in an extra 1-2 days for that coordination.
