Taurus is replacing the popular G2c 9mm pistol in their lineup with the new GX2. It’s designed as an entry-level do-all kind of pistol for the first-time gun owner, perfect for either everyday carry or home defense use.
Taurus has included a number of features of its higher end GX4 pistol (steel GLOCK dovetail sights, improved ergonomics) in the new GX2 at a lower price point. With an MSRP of $310, you’ll be able to pick one up at retail in the sub-$250 neighborhood…which is a very nice neighborhood for new gun owners.
Taurus is proud to announce the launch of the Taurus GX2, a firearm designed to meet the needs of first-time shooters while redefining what an entry-level firearm can deliver. With its affordable price point and reliable features, the GX2 brings exceptional value, making personal protection accessible to all law-abiding citizens without compromising quality or performance.
Put to the Test at Gunsite Academy
In addition to extensive internal testing procedures and in advance of the official release, the GX2 was rigorously evaluated during a writers’ event at the renowned Gunsite Academy. Over three days in Arizona’s dry climate, thousands of trouble-free rounds were fired by media professionals and firearm experts. The GX2 demonstrated impressive durability and ease of use, proving to be a reliable option for both new and seasoned shooters.
