Taurus GX2

About the Taurus GX2

The Taurus GX2 is a full-size semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum. 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 15-round magazine capacity, this pistol matches or exceeds the capacity of many competitors in its size class. 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 4.0-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 700g (24.7 oz) unloaded, this firearm provides a solid shooting platform that helps manage recoil during extended range sessions. 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.
