Description
The TAURUS GX2 9mm 2x10rd Light Purple Frame Black Slide is a compact, striker-fired pistol built for daily carry without the boring black-on-black look. This model pairs a light purple polymer frame with a matte black slide and comes with two 10-round magazines, so you can hit the range or holster up right out of the box. The fixed white-dot front and drift-adjustable rear sight keep your sight picture clean, and the accessory rail lets you mount a light or laser when the sun goes down. Per Taurus specs, the GX2 weighs in at 22.3 ounces unloaded, which means it carries light but shoots heavy enough to stay on target.

Key Features
- Light Purple Polymer Frame – Stands out in a pocket dump or range bag, so you never grab the wrong gun. The color doesn’t fade or chip under normal use, and it’s UV-stable per Taurus materials.
- Striker-Fired Action – Consistent trigger pull every time, no hammer to snag on a cover garment. That means faster follow-up shots when you need them.
- Two 10-Round Magazines – Spare mag included means you can carry a reload or run a full box at the range without stopping to reload. The magazines drop free and seat easily.
- Accessory Rail – Mount a compact light or laser without aftermarket adapters. It’s a standard single-slot rail that fits most popular lights, so you can see your target in low light.
- Ergonomic Textured Grip – The frame texture locks into your hand without sandpaper feel. Wet or dry, you get a solid purchase that reduces muzzle flip during rapid fire.
Who It’s For
This one’s for the EDC crowd that wants reliability without the cookie-cutter look. If you carry every day and want a light purple frame that still shoots straight, the GX2 fits. It also works for new shooters who want a compact 9mm that’s easy to control and maintain. Range goers who like a backup gun with some personality will appreciate the two-mag setup and the accessory rail for a light.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Lightweight at 22.3 oz unloaded, easy to carry all day in an IWB holster.
- Pro: Two 10-round mags give you 20 rounds on tap without buying extras.
- Pro: Color is unique without being flashy – it’s a subtle light purple that still looks tactical.
- Con: The trigger has a bit of take-up before the break. It’s not match-grade, but it’s predictable and consistent for a striker-fired pistol at this price.

FAQ
What’s the trigger pull weight on the Taurus GX2?
Per Taurus specs, the trigger pull is approximately 5.5 to 6.5 pounds. It’s a striker-fired trigger with a consistent break and a short reset. Expect a little take-up, but it’s smooth for a stock pistol in this price range.
Does the light purple frame show wear easily?
The polymer frame is molded in color, not painted, so it won’t chip or flake. Holster wear may cause a slight shine over time, but the color stays. It’s UV-stable per Taurus materials, so it won’t fade in sunlight.
Can I use standard Taurus G2C holsters with the GX2?
Most G2C holsters will fit the GX2 because the frame dimensions are similar. However, the GX2 has a slightly different slide profile, so test fit before carrying. Kydex holsters may need a little heat adjustment for a perfect fit.
What’s the difference between the GX2 and the G2C?
The GX2 has an updated slide serrations, a different finish on the barrel, and the light purple frame option. The G2C has a standard black frame and older slide cuts. The internals and reliability are basically the same.
Is the Taurus GX2 California-legal?
As of now, the GX2 is not on the California Roster. Check your local laws before ordering. It ships with two 10-round magazines, so it’s compliant in most magazine-restricted states.
