Taurus introduced its GX2 pistol last year with the phrase “affordable doesn’t mean cheap.” It was a no-frills pistol designed for self-defense and concealed carry that had all the features that you needed and none of the extras that add cost. As handgun optics are becoming more of a must-have accessory, Taurus is adding that option to the GX2 with the GX2 T.O.R.O. (Taurus Optics Ready Option). The GX2 T.O.R.O. is optics-ready via a direct-mount slide cut with an RMSc footprint. The GX2 T.O.R.O. takes all of the features that made the original GX2 a value-laden option and adds red-dot…

There is a moment in shooting where discipline either sharpens or quietly unravels. That moment is when the shooter looks for validation. Event Horizon is designed to pull attention away from consequence and return it to process by removing the shooter’s ability to visually reward or punish themselves shot-to-shot.

Solid hits disappear. When success is invisible, emotional reaction fades and honest execution takes its place. Most shooters, new and…
