454 casull Taurus ragin bull

[tcritter]

I just got a Taurus Raging Bull 454 on trade and was wondering what kind of value it may have. It is a 6.5" with ported barrell. It is in nice shape and shot very little. I did go buy some ammo for it today and was hoping to shoot it before I sell it. I'm finding out it also shoots 45 long colt and 44 magnum is this correct? I really dont know much about this gun.

45 colt yes but, NOT 44 Mag!! It is a smaller diameter and could be catastrophic.

thanks for the info.

I'd say its worth anywhere from $800-950 454 is a super fun load!
45 colt is fun too

 

[tcritter]

If I could get that price I would be happy

Around my area, the .44 mags go NIB for about $650 to $700 and the .454's go for about $800 to $850 NIB.

paid 550 for this one

So it appears the value is somewhere between 550 and 800. Is the recoil bad on these or does the ported barrel help reduce it enought.

The thing to remember about the 454 Casull is it is based on the 45 colt by making it a little longer and a whole lot more powerful. Same goes for the 44spl to the 44 magnum and the 38 special to the 357 magnum.

Thats why you can shoot 45 colt in your gun and someone else can shoot 44spl in their 44 magnum.

At over a dollar a round it is not a everyday shooter that is for sure.

It seems like this gun has a small group of people who would be interested in buying it.

.454 is a great round. It's especially suited to a woods gun, being one of the few handgun rounds that's a legitimate counter to any creature you run into.
