The Taurus GX2 delivers striker-fired reliability in a compact package designed for concealed carry and personal defense. This 9mm pistol combines modern ergonomics with proven Taurus engineering to create a dependable sidearm that stands out from standard polymer offerings.
What Makes This Different
Unlike typical all-polymer compacts, the GX2 features a distinctive light purple stainless steel frame that provides enhanced durability while maintaining a lightweight profile. The matte serrated stainless steel slide offers superior grip for press checks and malfunction clearing compared to smooth-finished alternatives. The integrated Picatinny rail system accommodates tactical lights and laser accessories without requiring aftermarket modifications.
