Thought I would post my experiences with the gun.
 
I purchased it new online from a gun auction site last year. When it arrived, periodically the trigger would be rough and difficult to pull back at the same point (I suspect the cylinder was/is out of whack or one of the guides on the cylinder (proper terminology?) had a spur) . After using the gun for a while, whatever was wrong seems to have worked itself out and now I have no problems.
 
If I were to purchase another raging bull, I would only purchase one I could handle prior to the purchase.
 
Despite the above, I really like how the gun handles and can shoot quite accurately with it. I have shot two deer with it, a buck and a fawn (I hunt the earn a buck CWD reduction zone in WI). The buck required two shots as it was loping along and in my excitement, I forgot to keep the gun moving and shot it just in front of the rear legs. My second shot (right up the rear) at approx. 60-65 yards, dropped the deer on the spot.
 
I purchased the bandito setup from www.pistolpackaging.com and am very happy with it. The holster can be removed from the shoulder strap and used as a reg belt holster.
Favorite hobbies: Deer hunting  with bow/gun and fishing for muskies.

glad it worked out for you.   my good friend lives down your way.   last time i went to see him i saw about 30 pheasants.  i been intending to get back down that way this fall and chase a few of them;  but you know how it is-    hard to find the time.  
   i have a raging bull in 454 that i have had for years.  i have yet to take a deer with it.  mostly in part to me having kids in the last few years.  really puts a hurt on the hunting time.   maybe this will be the year.
