Description
Slim single-stack 9mm pistols earned their spot in the carry world for one reason: they disappear under a shirt without giving up a serious defensive caliber. The Taurus G2S nails that formula, and this version adds a dark purple polymer frame paired with a matte black carbon steel slide, so it looks as distinctive as it carries. At just over an inch wide, 6.3 inches long, and about 20 ounces unloaded, it rides comfortably inside the waistband all day without printing or dragging your belt down.
What Makes the G2S a Smart Carry Pick
Under the hood, the G2S runs a striker-fired single action with restrike capability, meaning if a round doesn't go off on the first strike, you can pull the trigger again instead of racking the slide. That is a feature you rarely see at this end of the market. The 5 to 9 pound trigger has a clean, audible reset, and the safety setup covers all the bases with a manual thumb safety, trigger safety, striker block, and a loaded chamber indicator up top. The textured grip fills the hand better than most slim nines, which helps keep that snappy compact recoil manageable during range sessions.
Sights, Rail, and Everyday Details
The 3-dot contrast sights feature a fixed front and an adjustable rear, something most compact carry guns skip entirely, so you can dial in your point of impact with your preferred defensive load. There is also a short accessory rail up front for a compact light or laser, and the aggressive rear slide serrations make racking easy even with sweaty or cold hands. Takedown for cleaning requires no extra tools.
Taurus G2S Dark Purple: Ready Out of the Box
Taurus ships this pistol with two 7-round magazines, so you have a spare for the range or a reload on your belt from day one. Whether it is a first carry gun, a bedside pistol, or an addition to the safe that does not look like everything else in there, the G2S delivers proven, no-nonsense function in a color you will not see at every range bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Taurus G2S a good choice for concealed carry?
That is exactly what it was built for. The single-stack design keeps it right around 1.1 inches wide and about 20 ounces unloaded, so it tucks away comfortably inside the waistband. The 7+1 capacity of 9mm gives you a proven defensive round in a package that is easy to carry all day.
What is the difference between the Taurus G2S and the G2C?
The G2S is the slimmer single-stack version, holding 7+1 rounds, while the G2C uses a double-stack magazine for 12+1. The trade-off is simple: the G2S is thinner and easier to conceal, while the G2C gives you more rounds in a slightly thicker grip. If concealability is your top priority, the G2S is the one to grab.
Does the G2S have restrike capability?
Yes, and it is one of the standout features on this pistol. If you get a light primer strike, you can simply pull the trigger again for a second attempt instead of having to rack the slide. That second-strike function is uncommon on striker-fired pistols in this class.
Can I mount a light or laser on the Taurus G2S?
You can. The dark purple frame includes a short accessory rail ahead of the trigger guard that accepts compact weapon lights and lasers sized for subcompact pistols. Just make sure whatever unit you choose is designed for short-rail compact guns, since full-size lights will overhang the muzzle.
