Taurus has been making waves in the affordable compact 9mm space for a while now, and the GX2 is their most refined take on the formula yet. It draws heavily from the GX4 platform, borrowing the modular fire-control chassis and grip profile, while adding a full-sized three-slot M1913 Picatinny rail that the GX4 never had. The result is a pistol that feels more expensive than it is, with a 3.38-inch stainless steel barrel, a polymer frame with a stainless steel chassis running through it, and a matte black alloy steel slide with front and rear cocking serrations for positive rack-ability under any conditions.
The safety package on this thing is thorough. You get a bladed trigger safety, an internal striker block, a loaded chamber indicator, and a frame-mounted external manual thumb safety on the left side. That last one is a bit of a conversation starter, but it makes sense for this market, and if you prefer not to use it, it stays out of the way. The trigger itself is flat-faced, breaks cleanly at roughly six pounds, and has a short enough reset that follow-up shots come naturally. Glock-compatible sights mean you can swap in night sights or any other aftermarket option without hunting for proprietary parts, which is a legitimately useful feature at this price point.
At 19 ounces empty and measuring 6.19 inches overall, the GX2 sits in a sweet spot for everyday carry. It is not quite a micro-compact, but it is genuinely slim and light enough for IWB carry without feeling like a burden by mid-afternoon. The grip accommodates a full three-finger hold with the flush 13-round magazine, which makes a real difference in control and confidence. Holster support for the GX2 is solid, with purpose-built options from brands like PHLster available out of the gate. The magazine release is reversible for left-handed users, which is a thoughtful touch.
Taurus backs the GX2 with a limited lifetime warranty, and given how it was introduced, that confidence seems well-placed. They actually launched this pistol at Gunsite Academy, running it through professional training drills before it ever hit store shelves. Range reports back that up, with reviewers noting zero malfunctions and more than adequate accuracy for defensive use.
Yes, the GX2 comes with a frame-mounted external thumb safety on the left side, in addition to a bladed trigger safety and an internal striker block. The thumb safety is there if you want it, but it stays low-profile enough that it does not get in the way if you choose to keep it disengaged. Taurus added it because the majority of buyers in this category tend to prefer having the option.
The GX2 has solid holster support for a newer pistol. Brands like PHLster offer purpose-built kydex options for both IWB and appendix carry. Because the GX2 is a new platform with its own slide profile and trigger guard geometry, you will want to use holsters specifically molded for the GX2 rather than trying to use a G2C or G3C holster, which are not interchangeable.
Yes, and this is one of the GX2's more underrated features. The GX2 uses standard Glock-compatible sight dimensions, which means the entire aftermarket of Glock-pattern night sights, fiber optic fronts, and suppressor-height sights are available as drop-in upgrades. You do not need to track down proprietary Taurus-specific sights.
The GX2 is Taurus's most current take on the affordable compact 9mm, and it improves on the older G-series in a few meaningful ways. It borrows the modular chassis and grip profile from the GX4, adds a proper three-slot Picatinny rail in place of the single-slot rail on the G2C/G3C, and introduces a toolless rotating takedown lever that makes field stripping much simpler. It also comes in at a slightly lighter weight than the G3C.
Yes, every Taurus GX2 ships with two 13-round flush-fit magazines. An extended 15-round magazine is available separately as an accessory if you want more capacity on a spare.
The GX2 is well-suited for everyday carry. It weighs 19 ounces unloaded, measures just over six inches in overall length, and is slim enough at 1.18 inches wide to sit comfortably in an IWB holster without a lot of bulk. The three-finger grip you get with the 13-round magazine helps you shoot it accurately, which matters for a carry gun. It is a solid pick for someone who wants real carry capacity without stepping up to a full-size frame.
