Frequently Asked Questions

What does TORO mean on Taurus pistols?

TORO stands for Taurus Optics Ready Option. This designation means the pistol's slide is specifically designed and cut to accept aftermarket red dot sights, making it easier to mount an optic without custom milling.

Taurus TORO pistols come with multiple interchangeable mounting plates. These plates are designed to fit a wide variety of popular red dot optics, allowing users to customize their sight setup easily.

What are the advantages of the TORO optics mounting system?

The TORO system features thin, low-profile mounting plates that allow the optic to sit lower on the slide, closer to the axis of the bore. This design enhances stability as the mounting screws bite directly into the slide.

The Taurus G3c TORO typically comes with 12-round magazines, often featuring a pinky extender for a better grip. The full-size G3 TORO comes with 15-round magazines, and 17-round magazines are also available.
