First Look: Taurus GX2 TORO

Taurus has just made the affordable GX2 optics-ready with the GX2 TORO.

Red dot-equipped pistols used to be expensive and niche, something that only serious shooters spent the money to have, but now they’re more accessible than ever. There’s a slew of good pistol optics on the market that don’t break the bank, as well as affordable optics-ready pistols, and one of the latest is the Taurus GX2 TORO.

At its core, the pistol is the same as the original Taurus GX2, but the new TORO model allows you to easily direct-mount red dot sights with the popular Shield RMSc footprint straight out of the box. Features like its 3.38-inch barrel, 13-round capacity of 9mm, manual safety and white dot front/drift adjustable rear sights are all unchanged.

Justin Porlier, VP of Sales for Taurus USA, said this about the new upgraded pistol:

The GX2 reset expectations for what a pistol at this price point should deliver, establishing itself as a leader in value for everyday carry … With the GX2 TORO, we’re raising that bar again—adding capability without sacrificing what made it so accessible.

The Taurus GX2 TORO has an MSRP of $300 and it ships with one magazine.
