1. Taurus Raging Bull: $641

The .44 mag is a great round for self defense and one of the best revolvers for concealed carry.

This gun can deliver a five or six round capacity of either .44 or .454 depending on your preference. Regardless which you choose, this is a gun you can trust your life with.
