I know a lot of people here have a Raging Bull, (and posted pics of some) but I've never head of anyone with a 5in model...I know Taurus only makes them in .454 and .480 (later is likely discontinued) but .454 still should be availabe. And I think I want one

I'm thinking of upgrading from .44mag 6.5 R Bull to the 5in .454 8)

If anyone owns one I would love to see pics and hear how it handles, esp compared to the 6.5in models.

Even searched google and yahoo; only pics I found were from Taurus website...

Found a couple places that sell them ($650+ USD) but no user reviews...I wish I could have one for that price, but here in Canada they go for well over $1000

The .480s have been discontinued as you noted Gray_Wolf though you can still find them on gunbroker semi-frequently and the majority I've seen listed there were NIB and around $500 US. I think the Canadian dollar is on par with ours now so that's a plus for you.

Here is a .480 NIB for $465 US (before other fees)

Granted, it does have the the 8 3/4" barrel however.

One in .45 Colt starting at $395.00

And one in.. yes.. .454 and a 5" barrel for $600.00

If I owned one I'd gladly give you a review Gray_Wolf but unfortunately I have no experience with that particular firearm.

Thanks for the link Taurus 9mm! That last one has a few pics. I'd buy it (only $350!) but I'm a stanless fan

I picked up a 5in stainless in .480 a few weeks ago at a gunshow , and like it, it seems to balance well and is very accurate, I can't really compare it to anything as this is my first big bore hand gun.

Sweet! Pics?

have you handled the 6.5" version as well is the 5" model less muzzle heavy?

I traded for a 5'' 480 Ruger caliber. Supposed to get it in tomorrow. Been doing a lot of reading on the net about the 480. Seems like a great cartridge!!!

Do you want to buy it after I get it in? I really wanted the 8'' barrel.

I'm in Canada.... plus I'd preffer .454....but thanks!
