Description
The Taurus GX2 T.O.R.O. takes everything folks liked about the original GX2 and adds the one thing people kept asking for: a slide that's ready for a red dot straight out of the box. You get a compact 9mm with a 3.38-inch stainless Sharpshooter barrel, 13+1 capacity, and a gray polymer frame paired with a matte black slide. It's a no-frills carry gun in the best sense, built around the features that matter and skipping the extras that just run up the price.
What the T.O.R.O. Slide Brings to the GX2
The standout here is the direct-mount optic cut. The slide is milled for the RMSc footprint, so popular micro red dots like the Holosun 507K, Shield RMSc, and SIG ROMEOZero bolt right on without an adapter plate. Mounting one is about as simple as it gets: pull the cover plate, add a little thread locker, and torque your optic down. If you'd rather run irons, the GX2 comes with a fixed white-dot front and a drift-adjustable rear sitting in standard dovetails, so sighting in or swapping to aftermarket sights is painless.
Handling the Taurus GX2 at the Range
The frame was redesigned for a fuller, more confident grip, which makes a real difference for newer hands and anyone with larger palms. At roughly 19 ounces unloaded and just over an inch wide, it tucks away for daily carry without feeling like a toy on the range. The flat-face trigger breaks clean and predictable, and you get layered safeties: a hinged trigger safety, a striker block, plus a frame-mounted manual safety for those who want it. There's also a short section of Picatinny rail up front for a light or laser.
Taurus backs the GX2 with their limited lifetime warranty, and it'll take GX4 Carry 15-round magazines if you want to run a little more capacity. For a compact 9mm that comes optics-ready at an entry-level price, the GX2 T.O.R.O. is tough to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Taurus GX2 T.O.R.O. optics ready?
Yes. This T.O.R.O. model has a factory direct-mount optic cut milled into the slide for the RMSc footprint. That means micro red dots like the Holosun 507K, Shield RMSc, and SIG ROMEOZero mount directly without an adapter plate. Just remove the cover plate and install your optic.
How many magazines come with the GX2 T.O.R.O.?
It ships with two 13-round double-stack magazines, giving you 13+1 with one in the chamber. If you want more rounds on tap, the GX2 also accepts GX4 Carry 15-round magazines.
Does the GX2 have a manual safety?
It does. Along with the hinged trigger safety and internal striker block, the GX2 has a frame-mounted manual thumb safety for an added layer of control. If you prefer a gun with an external safety on a striker-fired platform, this one fits the bill.
Is the Taurus GX2 a good choice for concealed carry?
It's a solid pick for everyday carry. The compact 3.38-inch barrel, slim 1.18-inch width, and roughly 19-ounce weight make it easy to conceal, while the 13+1 capacity keeps plenty of rounds on board. The redesigned frame also gives you a fuller grip that helps with control.
