FAQ
Is the Taurus GX2 suitable for concealed carry?
Yes, its compact size, lightweight polymer frame, and 10-round capacity make it a good option for daily carry. The adjustable rear sight and accessory rail add versatility for defensive setups.
What magazines does the Taurus GX2 use?
It ships with two 10-round magazines. These are proprietary to the GX2 model, so be sure to order spares from Taurus or authorized dealers.
Can I mount a red dot on this pistol?
The slide is not optics-ready out of the box, but you can have it milled by a gunsmith for a red dot. The adjustable rear sight works well with iron-only setups.
Is the cyan frame durable?
Yes, the polymer is the same high-impact material used in other Taurus frames, just with color added. It holds up to regular use and cleaning solvents.
According to Taurus specs, the GX2 has a 3.5-inch barrel and an overall length of 6.8 inches, making it one of the most compact striker-fired options in their lineup. Over 1.2 million polymer-frame pistols were sold in the U.S. last year, and the GX2’s affordability helps it stand out in that market.
