RE: Taurus Raging Bull ?' s
VAhuntr. Yes with the longer barrel you would get more velocity.Not sure how much and probably not enough to really make a difference.The 9 1/2" bbl does give you a better sight radius. Using a scope that won' t make a difference.On my 454 Casull I have an OLD Redfield and has held up well so far.I agree with Smitty03 go with the Casull over the 44 Mag.The SRH makes shooting the 45 Colt a pleasure.The Casull shot in the SRH isn' t much more recoil then the 44 Mag.The reason I mentioned feel both guns with the different barrel lenghts.If you plan on carrying it all day the longer barrel does get heavy.This last season I carried my Redhawk 44 mag instead of the Casull.Bianchi makes a shoulder holster for a scoped 9 1/2" SRH.I believe it was around 59.00 from Natchez Shooters supply.I liked it so much I bought one for the 7 1/2" RH.Usually though I use a Uncle Mikes side holster for the 7 1/2" without a scope. Do a little more research and I' m sure you' ll see the Ruger Redhawk and SRH are the way to go.A final thought. If you decide to go with the Redhawk make sure you get the one set up for a scope.If you buy the one without the cutouts for the rings ,you' ll have to us a after market scope mount.All SRH' s come with scope rings.It' s hard to beat Ruger' s scope rings.Just have to install them carefully as not to damage the mounting rail.
