Key Features

• Light Purple Frame with Black Slide — Why it matters: This color combo stands out on the range or in the safe, making it easy to identify your pistol and add a personal touch to your EDC setup.
• Picatinny Accessory Rail — Why it matters: You can mount a weapon light or laser for low-light scenarios, improving target identification and home defense capability.
• Fixed White-Dot Front and Drift-Adjustable Rear Sights — Why it matters: The white-dot front gives a clear sight picture, and the adjustable rear lets you fine-tune your point of impact without a gunsmith.
• Two Factory Magazines Included — Why it matters: Having a spare mag right out of the box means more range time between reloads and a backup for carry or classes.
• Compact 3.38-Inch Barrel — Why it matters: This barrel length balances concealability with ballistics, giving you reliable 9mm performance in a package that hides easily under a T-shirt.

Who It’s For

Pros & Cons

Pros: Affordable price point, two magazines included, Picatinny rail for accessories, adjustable rear sight, compact size for concealed carry, and a fun color that stands out.

FAQ

Does it come with a case or lock?

Yes. It ships in a cardboard box with a cable lock and two magazines. Some retailers may include a soft case, but check with your seller.

Can I use +P ammunition in this pistol?

Taurus recommends against using +P ammunition in the GX2 to avoid excessive wear. Stick with standard-pressure 9mm for best reliability.
