About this product
The taurus gx2 9mm 3.38 in tan/black 2x13rd is a compact semi-automatic pistol built for everyday carry. It combines a 3.38-inch barrel with a 13-round capacity and ships with two magazines. The tan frame and matte black slide give it a practical bi-tone look that works for concealed carry without adding unnecessary bulk.

Key Features
- 13-round capacity — WHY IT MATTERS: You get two extra rounds over most single-stack compacts, giving you more firepower without increasing grip size noticeably.
- 3.38-inch barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: This barrel length balances ballistic performance with concealability. It’s short enough to carry IWB comfortably but long enough to maintain accuracy at self-defense distances.
- Drift-adjustable rear sight — WHY IT MATTERS: You can zero windage without a gunsmith. That means you can fine-tune your point of impact to match your specific ammo or shooting style.
- Two 13-round magazines included — WHY IT MATTERS: Spare mags are essential for training and carry. Having two from the factory saves you $30-40 right out of the box.
- Bi-tone tan/black finish — WHY IT MATTERS: The tan frame reduces glare in bright conditions, and the black slide resists holster wear. It also looks distinct from all-black pistols on the range.
Who It's For
This pistol is for new shooters and training students who want a reliable compact 9mm for daily carry or home defense. It’s also a solid choice for anyone on a budget who doesn’t want to sacrifice capacity or durability. If you’re transitioning from a full-size duty gun to something smaller, the GX2 gives you a familiar manual of arms in a more portable package.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Price point — at $245.57, it’s one of the most affordable 9mm compacts on the market.
- Pro: Includes two magazines — many competitors in this price range only ship one.
- Con: The trigger pull is heavier than aftermarket options — expect around 6-7 lbs out of the box. That’s fine for defensive use but may slow down rapid fire for competition shooters.

FAQ
Is the Taurus GX2 reliable for everyday carry?
Yes. According to Taurus specs, the GX2 is designed for general-purpose use and everyday carry. The 3.38-inch barrel and 13-round capacity make it concealable without sacrificing reliability. Test it with your chosen defensive ammo before carrying.
Does the Taurus GX2 come with a holster?
No, the GX2 ships with two 13-round magazines but does not include a holster. You’ll need to purchase one separately. I recommend a quality IWB kydex holster for concealed carry.
Can I use +P ammunition in the Taurus GX2?
Taurus does not officially recommend +P ammunition for the GX2. Stick with standard-pressure 9mm for best reliability and to avoid accelerated wear.
How do I adjust the rear sight on the Taurus GX2?
The rear sight is drift-adjustable. Use a brass punch and hammer to move it left or right for windage correction. No special tools are required.
What is the trigger pull weight on the Taurus GX2?
The factory trigger pull is approximately 6-7 pounds. This is typical for a defensive pistol and helps prevent negligent discharges under stress.
