Taurus Announces Optics-Ready GX4 TORO
Taurus just announced the release of their Taurus GX4 TORO (Taurus Optics Ready Option).
You may remember that when the GX4 was released back in May, David Workman reviewed the new micro-compact pistol. One of his biggest concerns was the lack of an optics plate. He said, “While the rest of the compact concealed carry market is either including an optic plate (some even throw in the optic) on new models or going back and adding them to new versions of an existing gun, Taurus inexplicably left off this ever-increasingly popular and important feature.
“Even though it should have been on the original, perhaps we will see it as at least an option on any upgraded versions of the GX4 in the future.”
So, it was only a matter of time. Now, the GX4 micro-compact 9 mm is available with an optic mounting platform milled directly into the slide that accommodates multiple popular micro red dots.
