Recognized in Brazil and globally for their high standards of quality, and with a management focused on technology and innovation, TAURUS and CBC will present visitors with their extensive product portfolios and launches aimed at the defense and security segments, providing an excellent opportunity to expand relationships, establish partnerships and strengthen their global presence.
The companies’ stand, in the Brazil Pavilion, already welcomed important authorities and representatives from various countries in the first few days of the event, highlighting the innovative solutions and high Brazilian technology applied in the development of their products.
At DSEI 2023, Taurus presented models that make up the innovative GX4 modular pistol platform, such as the GX4 Carry Graphene T.O.R.O. pistol, a new, lighter, high-capacity subcompact pistol with magazines for 15 and 17 rounds in 9mm caliber, finished in Cerakote® Graphene, a 3.7″ barrel coated with pioneering DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) technology and the Taurus Optic Ready Option (T.O.R.O.) system which, through an interchangeable plate, allows optical sights to be accommodated, and a standard Picatinny rail for accessories.

In the small arms segment, the brand will be showing visitors CBC cartridges in the calibers 9mm LUGER, .40SW and AUTO, .38 SPL and .45 AUTO.
