The Taurus GX2 is one of the more compelling carry pistols to come out of the budget segment in recent years, and the Mongoose Purple version adds a custom-finished slide that makes it stand out from the sea of basic black. Under the hood it is the same GX2 that reviewers and range-goers have been putting rounds through since early 2025: a striker-fired, single-action-only compact 9mm with a 3.38-inch barrel, polymer frame, and alloy steel slide. The fire control group rides in a stainless steel chassis pinned into the frame, which gives the gun a more solid, consistent feel than you might expect at this price point. At 19 ounces empty and 6.19 inches overall, it sits right in the sweet spot for IWB carry without being painful to shoot at the range.
Taurus drew heavily from the ergonomics of the GX4 when designing the GX2, and it shows. The grip frame has an undercut trigger guard, memory pads on the sides, and grip texturing that is firm enough to hold the gun securely during rapid fire without tearing up your hand on an all-day carry. Front and rear cocking serrations make press-checks easy, and all edges are chamfered so the gun does not snag on clothing or a holster. The flat-face trigger breaks cleanly with a short reset, a genuine improvement over the older G2C design. Safety coverage comes from three independent systems: a frame-mounted manual thumb safety, a hinged trigger safety, and an internal striker block that prevents discharge if the gun is dropped. The manual safety is slim and easy to disengage on the draw, and does not get in the way if you simply prefer not to use it.
The 3.38-inch barrel keeps the muzzle from printing under a cover garment, and the gun fits a wide range of IWB holsters, including several already cut for the Glock 29/30 footprint. The three-slot MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail on the dust cover opens the door to most popular compact weapon lights, a real practical advantage over previous Taurus compact designs that used a proprietary rail. Sights are Glock-pattern steel, so swapping to aftermarket night sights or fiber optics is a straightforward job at any gun shop. This bundle includes five 13-round flush-fit magazines, which is a serious perk if you train regularly or just want the peace of mind of having spares loaded and ready. The Mongoose Purple finish applies to the slide and gives the pistol a distinctive look that is easy to identify as yours on a busy range table. Taurus backs the GX2 with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
The Mongoose Purple model is mechanically identical to the standard GX2 but features a custom-finished purple slide on the alloy steel frame. The black polymer frame is the same across variants. This particular bundle also ships with five 13-round magazines instead of the two that come with the base model, making it a solid value for anyone who wants range-ready spares from the start.
The GX2 was designed from the ground up with carry in mind. The 3.38-inch barrel keeps the profile trim so it does not print badly under a cover garment, and at just over 19 ounces unloaded it is light enough for all-day IWB carry. The frame-mounted manual thumb safety is a bonus for those who prefer an external safety, especially for appendix carry, and all sharp edges are chamfered so the gun draws cleanly without snagging.
The GX2 fits a number of holsters already on the market, including several cut for the Glock 29/30 footprint, so you are not starting from scratch. Taurus was forward-thinking about holster compatibility when they designed the platform, and the growing user base means more holster options are being added regularly. It is always worth confirming fit with your specific holster maker before buying.
Yes, and it is easy to do. The GX2 uses Glock-pattern sight dovetails on both the front and rear, which means a huge selection of aftermarket options will fit right out of the box. Night sights, fiber optic fronts, and tritium sets from brands like Trijicon, AmeriGlo, and XS are all compatible, and any gunsmith familiar with Glocks can make the swap.
The GX2 has three independent safety mechanisms. A frame-mounted manual thumb safety on the left side of the frame, a hinged trigger safety that requires a deliberate pull to disengage, and an internal striker block that prevents the firing pin from moving unless the trigger is intentionally pressed. This layered approach gives carry-focused buyers real peace of mind without making the pistol cumbersome to use under stress.
Yes, all five magazines included with this bundle are the standard 13-round flush-fit double-stack magazines that ship with the GX2. They sit flush with the grip and do not add any extra length below the frame. Extended 15-round magazines are also available separately from Taurus if you want a little more capacity for range or home defense use.
