Who It’s For
This pistol is for the shooter who needs a reliable 9mm for daily concealed carry but doesn’t want to spend $500+. It fits new owners, budget-minded CCW holders, and anyone who wants a spare gun for the truck or nightstand. The 13-round capacity and accessory rail make it versatile enough for home defense too.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Price — at $253.08, it undercuts most compact 9mms by $100 or more.
- Pro: Two magazines included — most guns in this price range ship with one.
- Pro: Gray/black finish resists holster wear and looks sharp.
- Con: Trigger pull weight is a bit heavier than aftermarket options—about 6-7 lbs out of the box—so some shooters may want a trigger upgrade later.

FAQ
Does the Taurus GX2 come with a hard case?
Yes, it ships in a hard plastic case with two 13-round magazines, a cable lock, and the owner’s manual.

Can I use +P ammunition in the GX2?

What holsters fit the gray/black GX2?
Most holsters molded for the Taurus G2C or G2S will fit the GX2 due to similar frame dimensions. Check with the holster maker for specific model compatibility.
