Why?

Why?

Because S&W Performance Center. That's why

Obviously a hunting handgun, but you'll need ear plugs hunting with that muzzle break or you gonna hear ringing all day.

This will sound strange coming from Me , but it's Not ridiculous .

Read the specs . This ( and the similar S&W X Frame pictured above ) are dedicated Long Range Hunting Guns , of the Hand Cannon / Hand Rifle flavor .

It weighs 71 oz ! It's very likely to scoped ( with real scope , not a Dot ) ..Use of bi pods or shooting sticks not un common .

Much more likely to be carried afield with a sling instead of a holster .

Don't think of it as overgrown Revolver , think of it as a Repeating Contender .

You are of course correct. It's also correct that it's somewhere on the ugly scale between me and a Cybertruck and that's a short, unpleasant looking scale.

Some people say that about Ruger's Super Redhawk, too. Personally, I think the SRH is a cool looking revolver, in that post-modern-industrial sort of way.

Same applies to this new Taurus Raging Hunter and the S&W Performance Center hunting revolver. I think they look pretty cool! Would I own one? Personally, no, I wouldn't, because I generally use a rifle for hunting. But for those who do go handgun hunting, it's a good option.

Lol... S&W offers a version of this as a performance center option.
