The Taurus GX2 delivers striker-fired reliability in a compact package designed for concealed carry and tactical applications. This 9mm pistol combines a distinctive light purple stainless steel frame with practical features that set it apart from standard polymer-framed competitors.
What Makes This Different
The GX2 features a unique stainless steel frame construction rather than traditional polymer, providing enhanced durability and distinctive aesthetics. The matte black serrated slide offers superior grip texture for press checks and malfunction clearance. Unlike many compact pistols, this model includes an integrated Picatinny rail system for tactical light or laser attachment, expanding its versatility beyond basic concealed carry roles.
