Description
Taurus took the already popular GX2 and gave it an RMSc optic cut, then wrapped the whole thing into a carry kit that leaves very little left to buy. You get the compact 9mm pistol, a Viridian RFX11 3 MOA green dot that mounts straight to the slide, a Mission First Tactical IWB Kydex holster, and three 10-round magazines. For folks stepping into their first red dot pistol, this takes most of the guesswork and extra spending out of the equation.
What Makes the GX2 TORO Tick
Under the hood this is a striker-fired, single-action-only compact built around a 3.38 inch Sharpshooter barrel with a 1:10 right-hand twist. It runs 19.04 ounces unloaded, measures 6.19 inches long and 4.89 inches tall, and stays slim at 1.18 inches wide, which makes it an easy gun to tuck away for daily carry. A reversible magazine release and front and rear cocking serrations round out the handling, and there's a 1913 Picatinny rail up front if you want to hang a light. A manual thumb safety, trigger safety, and striker block give you a layered safety setup.
The Viridian RFX11 Green Dot Advantage
The included Viridian RFX11 uses the Shield RMSc footprint and direct mounts to the TORO slide with no adapter plate needed. It throws a crisp 3 MOA green dot, which a lot of people find easier to pick up in bright daylight than a red dot. Automatic brightness control and Instant-On activation mean it wakes up when you move the gun and settles the brightness on its own, and the CR2032 battery is rated for around 30,000 hours of run time. The fixed white dot front and drift-adjustable rear irons are still there as a backup.
A Carry Kit That Earns Its Keep
In testing, this platform has shown itself to be reliable and plenty accurate for defensive distances, which is exactly what you want from a carry gun. The Kydex holster and trio of magazines mean you can zero the optic, run a box of ammo, and start carrying without a long shopping list. It's a straightforward, budget-friendly way to get into an optic-ready 9mm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the GX2 TORO kit come with the red dot already included?
Yes, this kit ships with the Viridian RFX11 3 MOA green dot in the box. It uses the Shield RMSc footprint and direct mounts to the TORO slide without needing an adapter plate. You'll want to confirm your zero before carrying.
What optic footprint does the Taurus GX2 TORO use?
The TORO slide is cut for the Shield RMSc footprint, which is one of the most common micro red dot patterns out there. That means if you ever swap the included Viridian for something else, plenty of popular RMSc optics will drop right on. The iron sights are retained as a backup.
How many magazines come with this GX2 TORO kit?
This kit includes three 10-round magazines, giving you a loaded gun plus two spares right out of the gate. Combined with the included holster, it's a pretty complete carry setup. That's more than most pistols ship with.
Is the GX2 TORO a good size for everyday concealed carry?
It's a compact pistol at 1.18 inches wide and just over 19 ounces unloaded, so it hides well while still giving you a full grip. The 3.38 inch Sharpshooter barrel keeps it short enough for inside-the-waistband carry. The included Kydex holster is built for that role.
