The new Taurus GX4 T.O.R.O. 9mm pistol adopts the Taurus Optic Ready Option mounting system, which facilitates mounting of several popular micro red-dot sights. The T.O.R.O. system is designed around a factory optic-cut slide for those who desire the advantages of a low-print EDC handgun and the confident sight picture of a red dot. The GX4 T.O.R.O. also comes with a flush-mount slide cover plate for use with the non-optic option. The mounting pattern covers the following optic models:

Installation of a compatible red-dot optic onto the Taurus GX4 T.O.R.O. is fast, easy, and does not require the services of a gunsmith. Simply remove the included slide cover plate, install the desired optic, and secure with the screws supplied with your optic of choice.

The Taurus GX4 series pistols feature 11-, or 13-round capacity, durable finish, ergonomics, and exceptional accuracy. The Taurus GX4 offers minimal printing even when worn under light clothing yet delivers the firepower and performance serious personal defense practitioners demand in an EDC/CCW handgun.
