Why We’re Stocking This

At Columbiagunrack, we stock what works. We’ve carried the standard Taurus GX2 for years because it’s a genuine value champion—a gun that goes bang every time and doesn’t break the bank. When Taurus announced the GX2 TORO, we knew we had to bring it in. It solves a real problem for our customers. The optics revolution isn’t slowing down, but the cost of entry has been a barrier for many. The Taurus GX2 TORO smashes that barrier. You’re not paying extra for the TORO cut; you’re getting it at the same price as the classic model. That’s a win, and we support it.

We handle every gun that comes through our door, and the first thing we did with the GX2 TORO was mount a micro red dot. The machining is clean, the screws torqued properly, and it locked up solid. It’s the same rugged, simple pistol we trust, just with a new slide that opens up a world of faster, more precise shooting. For a shop like ours that believes in giving shooters quality options at every budget, the Taurus GX2 TORO is a no-brainer addition to our inventory.

Who It’s For

• The First-Time Red Dot User: If you’ve been curious about pistol optics but didn’t want to spend a fortune on a new gun or gunsmithing, the Taurus GX2 TORO is your perfect, low-risk starting point.

• The Backup Gun/Bug-Out Option: Its size, reliability, and new optics capability make the GX2 TORO a serious contender for a truck gun, backup, or a core part of a prepared system where versatility is key.
• The Taurus GX2 Fan Looking to Upgrade: Already own a GX2? The Taurus GX2 TORO lets you step into the modern era seamlessly. The familiar manual of arms and feel mean you’re already an expert with your new optic-ready sidearm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What optics footprint does the Taurus GX2 TORO use?

A: The Taurus GX2 TORO uses the very common Shield RMSc footprint. This means it will directly accept optics like the Sig Sauer Romeo Zero, Shield RMSc, and many others. For optics with different footprints (like Holosun K-series), a simple, widely available adapter plate will get you mounted.

Q: Is this really the same gun as the regular GX2, just with an optic cut?

A: Yes, that’s the entire point, and it’s why we’re excited about it. The Taurus GX2 TORO retains the identical frame, trigger, internals, and reliability of the standard model. The only change is the new TORO slide, which includes the optic cut and comes with the necessary hardware. The sights are even the same, so you have a solid co-witness with your installed red dot.

Q: Can I still use my existing GX2 holsters with the Taurus GX2 TORO?

A: In almost all cases, yes. Since the frame is identical, the holster compatibility remains. The only potential issue would be with an extremely tight, custom-molded holster that might have been formed over the specific rear sight profile of the non-TORO slide. For 99% of kydex and polymer holsters made for the GX2, the Taurus GX2 TORO will fit perfectly, even with an optic mounted.
