Taurus G2S 9mm Subcompact Pistol, Black/Matte Stainless

Description

Taurus built the G2S by taking the double-stack G2C and slimming it down to a single-stack magazine, and the difference shows the moment you wrap a hand around the grip. This is a gun that prioritizes thinness over round count, which makes it a natural fit for anyone who finds compact double-stacks a little too wide to carry comfortably all day.

Taurus G2S Dimensions Built for Concealment

At 6.3 inches long, 4.8 inches tall, and just 1.1 inches wide, the G2S keeps its footprint small without shrinking down to a pocket gun that's hard to shoot well. Unloaded weight comes in around 20 ounces, light enough for all-day carry but with enough heft to help settle recoil from the 9mm chambering. The 3.26-inch barrel is long enough to make the most of standard-pressure and +P defensive loads without adding bulk to the package.

Controls and Safety Features on the G2S Pistol

This pistol runs a single-action striker system with restrike capability, so if a round ever fails to fire, a second pull of the trigger gives you another shot at ignition without having to rack the slide. Backing that up is a frame-mounted manual thumb safety, a trigger safety blade, an internal striker block, and a loaded chamber indicator on top of the slide so you can check status with a glance or a fingertip in low light. The rear sight is adjustable for windage, paired with a fixed front sight in a simple three-dot configuration that's easy to pick up quickly.

Finish and Fit of the Black/Matte Stainless G2S

The black polymer frame carries a matte stainless steel slide with deep rear serrations, giving you a sure grip when racking the slide under stress or with wet or gloved hands. A short accessory rail sits under the dust cover for a compact light if that's part of your setup. Taurus backs the G2S with their limited lifetime warranty, which is worth knowing given how many owners keep these as daily carry pieces for years.

Buyers looking at the G2S alongside the G2C should know the tradeoff comes down to five rounds of capacity versus a noticeably slimmer grip. If concealment and a low profile under clothing matter more to you than maximum round count, the G2S is the one built for that job specifically.
