Install the optic onto the adapter plate and secure with the supplied screws or the original optic screws, depending on the optic brand (be sure to pre-clean the screw threads and screw holes with denatured alcohol to remove any oils and apply a small amount of “blue” Locktite 242 to the screws). Place the correct adapter plate onto the slide. Each plate has mounting studs configured to the specific optic mount patterns. Match the correct adapter plate for your optic of choice. system offers solid mounting for compatible optics. Between these bosses, the mounting screws, and the precision machining, the T.O.R.O. The slide cut features indexing bosses that match the various adapter plates. Two screws secure the plate to the slide and are easily removed with an Allen bit. The cover plate provides a clean slide should you wish to run open sights. Optics that are compatible with the T.O.R.O. These adapter plates interface the slide with one of the four most common red dot mount patterns currently on the market. Included with these models is the aforementioned slide cover plate along with four different adapter plates and an assortment of screws. This particular profile matches that of the most common night sights.īack to the T.O.R.O. On a side note, Taurus recently introduced a new rear sight and dovetail profile to their G-series pistols that allows owners to take advantage of the multiple tritium or fiber-optic sight options available from the aftermarket. The gun is ready to roll as-is with the standard front post and drift-adjustable rear sight providing out-of-the-box sight alignment.

The slide comes machined with an optic footprint and a cover plate installed at the factory. system is identical to that found on the full-size G3. We received an early production G3c for our evaluation, but the T.O.R.O. pistols are good candidates because the system allows you to shoot without an optic installed and it can accommodate a range of optics should you want to switch red dot models or brands down the road. If you aren’t ready for an optic or are one of us who likes to change things up every now and again, the G-series T.O.R.O. system allows the shooter to install the optic of their choice in a couple minutes. models come from the factory with a slide system that is ready to accept a red dot optic right out of the box. For 2021, both the Taurus G3 and G3c enter the optic-compatible lane courtesy of the Taurus Optic Ready Option.Īs the name implies, the new G3 T.O.R.O. You can read our reviews of the G3 and the G3c for a deeper background of both.Ī few weeks ago, we received the inside track on Taurus’ latest G-series pistol line expansion and can report that the accelerator keeps getting closer to the floorboard. We have enjoyed shooting and carrying both the full-size and compact G-series pistols for the last year and a half.

Last year, Taurus took that natural step by introducing the G3c-basically, the full-size G3 reduced to a 3.2-inch barrel length compact. That the G3 would prove successful in the increasingly crowded polymer frame marketplace was no surprise, and in hindsight, it was no great leap to guess that this pistol would be the harbinger of the next generation of the Millennium G2. With its fresh receiver (keeping intact the many design cues and features that earned the G2 its envious reputation), new trigger system, and more refined slide profile, the G3 answered the call of the compact G2 fans demanding the same ergonomics and performance (and low price point) but in a “big boy” platform. Then in 2019, Taurus put more weight on the accelerator pedal, introducing the next generation of its polymer frame wonder with the all-new G3 full-size 9mm. Hailed for its reliability and pleasing ergonomics, the G2 presented a performance-to-price ratio that defied the expectations of discerning gun enthusiasts and media critics alike. The G-series polymer frame, striker-fired handgun has been a hit with EDC fans since the Taurus delivered the Millennium G2 to market in 2013. Their much-acclaimed G3-series 9mm pistols are a perfect example. The dust hardly settles on an all-new platform introduction before they initiate option and feature expansions. This isn’t a company that drives in the slow lane when it comes to new model rollouts. You gotta hand it to the folks at Taurus. shorten the distance between box and optic
