Why We’re Stocking This
We handle every gun that comes through Vossarms, and we stock what works.

The new Taurus GX2 TORO takes that proven formula and adds a critical, modern upgrade. We’re stocking it because it directly answers the demand we hear daily: folks want an optics-ready pistol without paying a premium just for the cut. Taurus delivered that. We’ve inspected the TORO slide cut, and it’s clean, well-machined, and includes the necessary hardware. This isn’t a gimmick; it’s a genuine enhancement to a trusted platform, and that’s exactly the kind of value we want to offer on our shelves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What red dot footprints does the Taurus GX2 TORO slide accept?
A: The Taurus GX2 TORO uses a very common pattern that accommodates optics like the Shield RMSc, Sig Sauer Romeo Zero, and Holosun HS407K/HS507K, among others. An adapter plate is included in the box, expanding compatibility to several other popular micro dots. Bring your optic by the shop, and we can confirm the fit.
Q: Is the Taurus GX2 TORO just a GX2 with a different slide?
A: Essentially, yes—and that’s the beauty of it. The frame, trigger, internals, and overall handling are identical to the standard, well-regarded Taurus GX2. The only change is the new, machined TORO slide. You’re getting all the proven reliability and shootability, now with optics capability.
Q: Can I still use the iron sights if I mount a red dot?
A: Absolutely. The Taurus GX2 TORO comes with standard-height white-dot sights that provide a lower-third co-witness through the window of most mounted micro red dots. This gives you a reliable backup aiming system.
