Taurus Car Mount Guide: G2/G3, GX4, TX9, TH9, PT 111, 709 Slim
Taurus car mount guide: magnetic mounts for the Taurus G2/G3 Series, GX4, TX9, TH9, PT 111, PT 145, PT 709 Slim and PT 908. Check the model on your pistol.
Taurus sells a lot of pistols to people who want a dependable gun at a fair price, and many of those pistols end up riding in a truck or car. A Taurus car mount has to be built around the exact model, though, because names like PT 111 and PT 709 Slim, or GX4 and G3, describe pistols with different slides.
This guide lists the Taurus models At The Ready makes mounts for, then covers how the mount works, optic-ready choices, placement and a clean install.
Key takeaways

Taurus Models and Their Mounts
Taurus lists its current handguns on its official site. At The Ready shapes each mount from one model’s actual slide:
| Your pistol | At The Ready mount | Standard | Optic-ready |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taurus G2/G3 Series | G2/G3 Series mount | $95 | $105 |
| Taurus GX4 | GX4 mount | $95 | $105 |
| Taurus TX9 | TX9 mount | $95 | $105 |
| Taurus TH9 | TH9 mount | $95 | $105 |
| Taurus PT 111 | PT 111 mount | $95 | $105 |
| Taurus PT 145 | PT 145 mount | $95 | $105 |
| Taurus PT 709 Slim | PT 709 Slim mount | $95 | $105 |
| Taurus PT 908 | PT 908 mount | $95 | $105 |
The G-series comes in several sizes and versions, so read the exact model on your pistol and compare it with the mount page before you order. The four PT models each use a separate mount. Not sure what you have? Call At The Ready at (469) 304-8535. Every Taurus mount is on one page.
How It Holds the Pistol
Each mount is magnetic and model-specific at once. Rare-earth magnets are set into a premium ABS body that follows the contours of one Taurus slide, so the pistol drops into the same spot every time and stays there on rough pavement, grip angled toward the driver.
There is no holster in the way, and the trigger guard stays open. Keep your finger off the trigger until you mean to fire. If your Taurus carries a light or another accessory on the rail, check with At The Ready about clearance first.
Optic-Ready or Standard
Newer Taurus pistols such as the GX4 and TX9 are offered in optic-ready versions, and some G3 owners add a red dot as well. If your pistol has a dot or you plan to add one, choose “Optic: Yes” for the optic-ready mount at $10 more. Older PT models usually run iron sights, so the standard mount is the usual choice for them.
Optic-ready does not by itself confirm clearance for a light or other accessory. The optic-ready gun mount guide covers the details.
Choosing the Mounting Spot
For most trucks and SUVs, the side of the center console puts the grip right beside your hand. In a smaller car, the area under the dash is often the better fit. Sit in your normal position, hold the empty pistol where you plan to mount it and take a full grip before installing anything. Stay clear of the knee airbag zone and the pedals.
The under-dash gun mount guide shows lower-dash setups, and the truck gun mount placement guide covers pickups. If the grip ends up against your leg, the angled mount adapter ($14.99) turns it out.
Installing It
Screws, VHB tape and primer are all in the box. In a vehicle, use the screws, or apply the primer and then the tape. Tape without primer will not hold reliably on textured automotive plastic. The no-drill gun mount guide explains the tape method, and the installation page has a quick video.
Colors, Custom Text and Warranty
The standard base color is black, and 25 colors are included at no charge, with up to 18 characters of custom text. At The Ready makes every mount in Wylie, Texas, as a veteran-owned company, and each one has a lifetime warranty.
Safety and the Law
A magnetic mount is quick access, not locked storage. When you leave the vehicle, take the pistol along or lock it up. Rehearse the draw with an unloaded pistol, and check the vehicle carry laws in each state you drive in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there one mount for every G2 and G3?
