Our Assessment:  The Taurus Raging Judge is a distinctive and powerful revolver that stands out in Taurus’s lineup of firearms for its versatility and formidable size. As an extension of the Judge series, the Raging Judge takes the concept to a new level, both in terms of firepower and physical presence.

The Raging Judge is chambered to fire not only .45 Colt cartridges and 2.5-inch or 3-inch .410 shotgun shells but also the larger, more powerful .454 Casull round. This versatility makes the Raging Judge a remarkably adaptable firearm, capable of serving various roles, from self-defense and home protection to hunting and recreational shooting. The .454 Casull round, in particular, offers significant stopping power, making the Raging Judge a potent tool for larger game hunting and defense against predators in the wilderness.

The revolver’s design features a large, heavy frame necessary to handle the high pressures of the .454 Casull cartridge, along with a correspondingly robust barrel and cylinder. This gives the Raging Judge a formidable appearance and a solid, steady feel when firing. Taurus has equipped the Raging Judge with a number of features to enhance its usability and safety, including a comfortable grip to help manage recoil, a fiber-optic front sight for better target acquisition, and the Taurus Security System for added safety when the firearm is not in use.

Overall, the Taurus Raging Judge is a versatile and powerful revolver that appeals to those who appreciate the ability to fire multiple types of ammunition from a single, robust platform. Its combination of power, versatility, and distinctive design make it a notable option in the large-frame revolver market.  Please see our photos and good luck on your bid! – L.S.
