The Taurus GX2 is Taurus's most refined compact 9mm to date, and the Purple Sparkle edition adds a bold custom slide finish to an already impressive carry pistol. Introduced in 2025 as the direct successor to the massively popular G2C, the GX2 borrows the best ergonomic elements from the GX4 lineup, including VP9-style grip geometry, memory pads, a high-cut backstrap, and an undercut trigger guard, while keeping the price firmly in entry-level territory. At 19.04 oz unloaded and just 6.19 inches overall, it fits the compact carry profile without giving anything up in the hand. Multiple professional range reviews, including extensive testing at Gunsite Academy, confirmed zero malfunctions and solid accuracy across both budget FMJ and defensive hollow-point ammunition.
The custom Purple Sparkle slide finish is factory-applied and built to hold up through regular use, not just look good on a shelf. Underneath that finish, the alloy steel slide is machined for consistent cycling with front and rear cocking serrations, a dehorned nose for snag-free reholstering, and a loaded chamber indicator notch at the barrel hood. The flat-face SAO trigger runs a clean break at roughly 6 pounds with a short reset that makes follow-up shots come naturally. Sights are Glock-pattern steel, meaning you can swap in night sights or fiber optics from a huge pool of aftermarket options without hunting for proprietary parts. A full-length MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail on the dustcover opens up weapon light and laser compatibility that the older G2C's single-slot rail couldn't match.
The toolless takedown lever is one of those quality-of-life upgrades that sounds small until you've wrestled with a GX4's screwdriver requirement a few times. The frame-mounted manual thumb safety keeps carry versatile, especially for anyone running appendix. The reversible magazine release works for left-handed users, and the grip texture provides real traction without being abrasive during extended range sessions. This particular Purple Sparkle package ships with five 13-round magazines, which is genuinely useful whether you're training hard or stocking spares. Backed by Taurus's Limited Lifetime Warranty, it's a capable, personality-packed compact that earns its place in any carry rotation.
Yes, this specific Purple Sparkle package includes five 13-round magazines. That's a significant value add over the standard two-magazine configuration, and it makes this version particularly appealing for range training or anyone stocking up on spares.
Absolutely. The GX2 uses Glock-pattern dovetail cuts on both the front and rear sights, which opens up a huge aftermarket. You can drop in night sights from brands like Trijicon, XS Sights, or Ameriglo without needing any special tooling or custom fitment work.
Yes. The GX2 features a frame-mounted manual thumb safety on the left side of the frame, along with a trigger blade safety and an internal firing pin block. The thumb safety can be used or largely ignored depending on your carry preference, and it's slim enough that it doesn't get in the way during a normal draw.
The GX2 is a meaningful step up. It brings improved ergonomics borrowed from the GX4 line, a toolless takedown lever, a full MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail, Glock-compatible steel sights, and a slightly higher flush-fit capacity of 13+1 versus the G2C's 12+1. The overall size is similar, but the GX2 feels more refined in the hand.
Multiple independent reviews including range testing at Gunsite Academy reported zero malfunctions across hundreds of rounds of both budget FMJ and defensive hollow-point ammunition. Taurus also backs the GX2 with a Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original purchaser, which adds some peace of mind for a carry gun.
Holster availability for the GX2 has been growing steadily since its 2025 launch. Brands like PHLster and UM Tactical have GX2-specific options, and the pistol has been found to fit some Glock 29/30-compatible IWB holsters as well. The custom Purple Sparkle slide finish does not change the dimensions, so any holster made for the standard GX2 will fit this model.
