Taurus G3 T.O.R.O. 9mm Full-Size Pistol with Vortex Venom 3 MOA Red Dot

Given the growing penchant for shooters to include micro red dots on their semi-autos—be it for personal defense, recreational shooting, or competition work—Taurus brings the G3 series pistols into the optic arena for 2021 with the release of the full-size G3 T.O.R.O. (Taurus Optic Ready Option)

The slides for the T.O.R.O. series feature a factory optic cut so that consumers can immediately add their choice of micro red dot without the expense of custom gunsmith work or “downtime” of their handgun. What’s more, the T.O.R.O. system’s design accommodates a broad range of popular optics on the market today, thanks to an ingenious interchangeable plate mounting system.

The G3 continues the proven polymer-frame profile now in a full-frame configuration, with generous stippling patches across the grip for maximum control and retention in any shooting condition, an ergonomic palm swell and side-frame Memory Pads that provide quick, positive hand positioning.

The frame has an integrated Picatinny rail. A manual safety and slide release lever are optimally positioned above the thumb for easy manipulation. A refined element of the G3 is the 6-lb. trigger, designed with a smooth take-up and a surprisingly crisp, clean break exceeding that of typical striker-fired pistol trigger performance. A short reset promotes quick, controlled follow-up shots.

This sighting system now includes a serrated steel rear sight along with a white dot steel front sight.

Optic systems compatible with the G3 T.O.R.O:

• Plate 1: Docter; Noblex; Vortex Venom; Buris Fastfire; Sightmark Mini
• Plate 2: Trijicon RMR; Holosun; HS407C
• Plate 3: C-More STS2
• Plate 4: Leupold Delta Point; Bushnell RXS-250
