Taurus, manufacturer of premium handguns for defense, hunting, and sport shooting, is excited to announce the hiring of Cody Osborn as marketing director for the Taurus, Rossi, and Heritage Manufacturing brands.

Osborn comes to his new position from Walther, where he held the responsibility of marketing manager.
