Description
Slim carry pistols usually make you give something up, whether that's a usable grip, decent sights, or features you'd expect on a bigger gun. The Taurus G2S keeps most of what made the G2C so popular and trims it down to a single-stack profile that measures just 1.10 inches wide and 4.8 inches tall. At right around 20 ounces with a 3.2 inch barrel, this is the kind of pistol you can wear inside the waistband all day and forget it's there until you need it.
What Sets the G2S 9mm Apart
The big one is restrike capability. This is a striker-fired single action, but if a round doesn't go off on the first pull, you can simply pull the trigger again for a second hit on the primer instead of racking the slide. That's a rare feature in this class and a genuinely useful one for a defensive gun. You also get a fixed white dot front sight paired with an adjustable rear, a manual thumb safety backed up by a trigger safety and striker block, and a Picatinny rail up front for a light or laser. The grip carries the same aggressive stippling patches Taurus uses across the G2 family, so the gun stays planted in your hand even with sweaty palms or gloves.
Stainless Slide, Brown Frame, Two Mags in the Box
This version pairs a matte stainless steel slide with a brown polymer frame, a sharp two-tone combo that stands apart from the sea of all-black carry guns. Taurus ships it with two 7-round magazines, giving you 7+1 on board and a full reload without buying anything extra. The single-stack mags also keep the grip slim enough for smaller hands to get a full, confident hold, which is part of why this pistol has become such a common recommendation for first-time carriers.
Why the Taurus G2S Earns a Spot in the Rotation
The G2 series has built a solid track record for running reliably right out of the box, and the G2S carries that reputation into a thinner, lighter package. For everyday carry, a nightstand gun, or a first defensive pistol, it covers the bases without overcomplicating anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the restrike capability on the Taurus G2S do?
If a round fails to fire on the first trigger pull, the G2S lets you pull the trigger again for a second strike on the same primer instead of having to rack the slide. It's a feature you rarely see on striker-fired pistols in this price range, and it can save valuable time in a defensive situation. Under normal operation the gun fires as a crisp single action.
How many magazines come with the Taurus G2S 9mm?
Taurus includes two 7-round single-stack magazines with this model, so you get 7+1 capacity plus a spare mag right out of the box. Aftermarket magazine extensions are also available if you want a little extra pinky room or an added round.
Is the G2S a good pistol for concealed carry?
That's exactly what it was built for. The single-stack frame measures just 1.10 inches wide and 4.8 inches tall, and the whole gun weighs about 20 ounces unloaded, so it rides comfortably inside the waistband. The stippled grip texture and smooth edges make it easy to draw and control despite the small footprint.
What's the difference between the Taurus G2S and the G2C?
They share the same core design, but the G2S uses a slimmer single-stack frame with 7-round magazines, while the G2C runs a wider double-stack frame holding 12 rounds. The G2S trades a bit of capacity for a thinner profile that conceals easier and fits smaller hands better. If deep concealment is the priority, the G2S is the one to grab.
