The Taurus GX2 started as Taurus's answer to a simple question: what does a genuinely good carry pistol look like at an entry-level price? The result is a compact, striker-fired 9mm that punches well above its category. This light purple and matte stainless bi-tone version brings that same performance with a finish that stands out from the crowd. At just over 19 ounces unloaded, 6.19 inches long, and 4.89 inches tall, the GX2 fits in the sweet spot between a full-size duty gun and the smaller micro-9mm double-stacks – manageable to carry, comfortable to shoot.
The GX2 was developed as the successor to the wildly popular G2c, and Taurus made meaningful upgrades across the board. The fire control group sits in a serialized stainless steel chassis pinned into the polymer frame, giving the gun a solid foundation without adding bulk. The 3.38-inch Sharpshooter barrel has an integral feed ramp and cams up and down via a milled ramp at the barrel foot – no link to worry about. Front and rear cocking serrations give you a solid grip during slide manipulation, and the front bevel on the slide helps with reholstering. Safety-wise, the GX2 runs a hinged trigger safety, a passive firing pin block, and a thumb-operated manual safety on the left side of the frame – three layers that work together without getting in the way.
One of the more underrated features of the GX2 is the sighting system. The rear sight is drift-adjustable for windage and sits in an industry-standard dovetail that is Glock-compatible, meaning a wide selection of aftermarket night sights and tritium options drop right in. The front post carries a white dot for quick target acquisition. The slide isn't cut for a red dot – Taurus made a deliberate call here based on their target buyer – but the Glock-pattern dovetails do open up some mounting options for those who want to explore them. Down front, the integrated MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail accommodates compact tactical lights and laser sights without adapters. Takedown is tool-free thanks to an external lever – rotate it forward, dry fire, and the slide pulls right off.
Reviews from the initial media launch at Gunsite Academy put thousands of rounds through GX2 pistols across multiple days in varied conditions, and the feedback has consistently been positive on reliability and accuracy. The trigger breaks cleanly, the reset is firm and short, and the ergonomic grip module – with its textured panels, curved backstrap, and single front-strap hook – keeps the gun planted under recoil. Two 13-round magazines are included in the box, and holster support from makers like PHLster and UM Tactical was available right at launch. For a carry-focused 9mm with genuine features and a color option that actually has some personality, the GX2 makes a strong case.
Yes, the GX2 includes a left-side manual thumb safety in addition to the hinged trigger safety and passive firing pin block. The thumb safety is intentionally low-profile so it stays out of the way when holstered but is still positioned to disengage cleanly on the draw. Taurus included it based on market research showing a strong preference for manual safeties among buyers in this price range.
Yes, and this is one of the GX2's real selling points. Both the front and rear sight cuts use industry-standard Glock-compatible dovetails, which opens up a large selection of aftermarket options including tritium night sights and fiber optic sights from brands like XS, Trijicon, and AmeriGlo. The rear sight is also drift-adjustable for windage right out of the box.
The GX2 sits in a practical size class for concealed carry – compact enough to be manageable at 6.19 inches overall and under 20 ounces unloaded, but large enough to run a full 13-round magazine and provide a solid grip. The beveled slide edges and slim 1.18-inch width help with concealment. Holster support from makers like PHLster and UM Tactical was available at launch, so finding a quality IWB or OWB option isn't difficult.
The GX2 uses what Taurus calls a Sharpshooter barrel – a 3.38-inch stainless steel barrel with an integral feed ramp and a cam-style lockup rather than a link system. It's slightly shorter than the G2c's barrel but benefits from updated manufacturing tolerances. Taurus overhauled their production process with CNC automation specifically to tighten tolerances on the GX2 compared to earlier models.
Yes, the frame has an integrated MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail just forward of the trigger guard. It's sized to fit compact pistol lights and laser units, and most major brands' compact weapon light offerings will mount directly to it. This is a feature that's genuinely useful on a carry gun and not always included at this price point.
Mechanically, the guns are identical – same striker-fired action, same Sharpshooter barrel, same capacity and controls. The difference is purely cosmetic: this version features a light purple polymer frame paired with a matte stainless slide for a bi-tone look that's a departure from the typical all-black carry pistol. If you want the same reliable platform with a more distinctive appearance, this is the one to pick.
