Taurus G2s

About the Taurus G2s

The Taurus G2s is a full-size semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, manufactured by Taurus since 2018. Produced at Taurus's modern manufacturing facilities in São Leopoldo, Brazil and their American operations in Bainbridge, Georgia, this firearm reflects Taurus's commitment to delivering reliable firearms at competitive price points. Featuring a 7-round magazine capacity, this pistol provides adequate capacity for most defensive scenarios while maintaining a slim profile. The striker-fired action provides a consistent trigger pull for every shot, a design that simplifies training and has become the industry standard for modern defensive handguns. With a 3.2-inch barrel, this pistol strikes the ideal balance between concealability and ballistic performance, extracting near-optimal velocity from the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge while remaining easily holstered for everyday carry. At 567g (20.0 oz) unloaded, this lightweight firearm is well-suited for concealed carry without excessive burden. The polymer frame reduces overall weight while providing a comfortable, textured grip surface that maintains purchase in adverse conditions including rain, sweat, and cold weather. Taurus has positioned this model as a high-value option in the competitive handgun market, offering features and reliability that punch above its price point, making it particularly appealing to first-time gun owners and experienced shooters seeking a reliable secondary firearm.

Taurus's semi-automatic pistol development accelerated dramatically after acquiring Beretta's Brazilian manufacturing facility in 1980, and the company has since developed an increasingly independent lineup of original designs alongside their proven Beretta-derived models.

Taurus G2s specifications

Approximately 20 ounces unloaded, slightly lighter than the G2c due to single-stack design. The slim profile makes it particularly suitable for appendix carry or smaller-framed shooters.
