Key Features
- Custom Purple Sparkle Slide – WHY IT MATTERS: This eye-catching finish makes your pistol easy to spot on the range and adds a personal style that stands out from black-on-black guns, perfect for teaching new shooters or for a family range day.
- Five 13-Round Magazines Included – WHY IT MATTERS: More magazines mean less time reloading and more time shooting. Beginners can load all five at home, and you can keep one in the gun with four spares for extended sessions.
- Single Action Only (SAO) Trigger – WHY IT MATTERS: A consistent, crisp trigger pull helps new shooters learn accuracy without the heavier pull of a double-action, making every shot predictable and safe.
- Compact 3.38-Inch Barrel with Accessory Rail – WHY IT MATTERS: The shorter barrel keeps the gun easy to handle for smaller hands, while the rail lets you add a light for low-light practice or home defense training.
- Drift Adjustable Rear Sight with White Dot Front – WHY IT MATTERS: You can zero the sights without a gunsmith, and the white dots help new shooters align the front and rear quickly, building confidence at the line.
Who It’s For
This pistol is built for families teaching new shooters, youth marksmen stepping up from .22, and anyone who wants a reliable 9mm with a fun, non-threatening appearance. The purple sparkle finish makes it approachable for beginners while keeping the performance needed for personal defense or range practice. Experienced shooters will appreciate the five magazines and SAO trigger for fast follow-up shots.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Five magazines included (saves $100+), lightweight at 19.04 oz., custom slide finish that resists wear, SAO trigger for consistent training, accessory rail for lights or lasers.
- Cons: The custom slide finish may show holster wear over time, so we recommend a soft case or padded range bag for storage. Some shooters prefer a double-action first shot for carry, but the SAO design is excellent for range use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Taurus GX2 ‘Purple Sparkle’ safe for a new shooter?
Yes. The single-action trigger is consistent and light, which helps new shooters focus on sight alignment and trigger control. Always follow the four safety rules: treat every gun as loaded, keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot, and know your target and what’s beyond it.
How many magazines come with this Taurus GX2?
Five 13-round magazines are included. That gives you 65 rounds total if you load all five at home — plenty for a family training session or a beginner’s first day at the range.
Can I add a red dot sight to this pistol?
The slide is not factory-milled for a red dot, but you can have it milled by a gunsmith or use a dovetail mount adapter. The drift adjustable rear sight and white dot front are easy to use as-is for iron sight training.
What is the weight of the Taurus GX2 ‘Purple Sparkle’?
It weighs 19.04 ounces unloaded, per manufacturer specs. That’s light enough for a day at the range without fatigue, yet heavy enough to manage recoil well for new shooters.
Does this pistol come with a holster?
A holster is not included. We recommend a padded range bag or soft case for storage. For carry, look for a compact 9mm holster that fits the GX2 frame.
