Taurus GX2 Range Review

I appreciate how open and honest you are with how the G2 has sold for you.

[@peternorton5648]

I’m like several other commenters in here, I love my G2c and am invested in mags and such. Since I have zero complaints I think I’ll just stick with it. I’d buy this if I were in the market for sure.

[@pistolgrip44mag]

The only problem I see with this firearm is the fact that I am already invested in G2c, G3C and G3 mags. I looks like another home run from Taurus, but I don't need to purchase more mags. I sure the sales will be good.

[@TruckingShooter]

Agreed though I'm not invested in any of those but there's a LOT of G2cs and G3s out there with a lot of 12 round mags and those are a very affordable option for people. Lots of people just need an affordable firearm to protect themselves. I'd of liked this a lot more if they'd of just make it a hair shorter in the grip and stuck with the 12 round mags but overall this looks like a winner. Good time to get some budget G2cs that will prolly be marked down.

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

Bro, mags cost nothing... And you don't need that many. $200 bucks and you can have more mags than you will ever need in your entire life. You really only need 3-4 mags though so you need to buy 1 or 2 extra mags 🤣 And this is your complaint

[@higherself9261]

Mags may be interchangeable but it definitely looks like a home run! If it’s better then I will have to think the lot of G2-G3 I have! Lol

I have a G2C and a p365. The 365 is smaller and lighter. I love the G2C, great gun, reliable. You get what you pay for. The p365 is far better and well worth the price difference. Nothing against Taurus, they make good guns.

[@jacspring5459]

I never got the G2C - my brother has one and likes it. I do have it's offspring, the G3C and it's been great. It was so good and the price so reasonable that I bought another one chambered in 40 S&W - it had a couple of FTFeed out of the box but that stopped after the first mag. The magazines were super stiff and I use a LULA to load them and have them loaded to help take a little of the tension off. In 40, its a handful. Thanks for the review! Looks like Taurus created another winner!

[@satown6354]

Taurus makes great firearms, I just wish the finish on them was better. They scratch very easy. I was comparing the size of my former (got rid of it) G3c to my CZP10s and was holding them side by side. The G3c had scratch marks on it after the comparison and the CZp10s is still perfect like out of the box. I understand price is an issue when it comes to finishes, but still.

[@mizztakyn9604]

This is going to fly off the shelves for the ones that just couldn't get over how ugly the G2c is. Taurus is one of the top gun manufactures for listening to their customers kudos to Taurus💯

Definitely considering getting one when they come with an optics cut version. Might be the one to replace my G2C.

[@Filipino_Swagga]

My first Taurus was the G2C I carried it for a few years, upgraded it and never had a issue with it. Since then I've upgraded my edc to the Taurus GX4 carry which is Optic ready and more capacity. I do like the new offering, it looks similar to the GX4 carry but if your looking for a more reliable budget offering then the GX2 wouldn't be bad idea. Like someone said in the comments I've already vested into my OG G2C with mags and parts. I would definitely buy another Taurus down the line!

[@robertcawley6841]

My G3C is my EDC. I do rotate occasionally with my Hellcat.

[@bigpeeler]

Rock on, Taurus. 👍

[@TheMacdaddysimmons]

Seriously though the G3c and g2c were the #2 and #4 best selling handguns on the market so to lose that mag compatibility SUCKS and isn’t worth it for 1 more bullet. They should have kept the function and reliability record of the other pistols gave it a better trigger and a face lift and called it a day. Also why copy the gx4s homework? I was hoping the successor to this pistol would take design cues from their new 22 with the tip up barrel, that gun looks sick af.

[@UltralightMotorcycleCamping]

I saw a video where the GX2 magazine can be dropped from an inch above the inverted pistol and the weight of a full mag will lock it in place ON A CLOSED SLIDE. What kind of dark magic is that? Obviously nobody is loading a pistol that way, but it speaks to how easy reloads are with the G2X. Most people are not going to need more than the two mags that ships with a defensive pistol, unless they pay a lot for range time and want to shoot a lot and not reload at the range.

[@anthropomorphicmonster9113]

I'm in the market and having trouble deciding between G3c and GX2

[@therichlopez]

Great! Thank you gor this video. I have only seen an unboxing of this gun. It’s like a mistery.

Take down for GX2 is like Sigs, GX4 has a pin which you need a tool to push out.

[@jdontcare8520]

The Hellcat Pro is significantly thinner. It seems like a cool pistol, but it looks like a fatter GX4 Carry.

It’s meant to eventually replace the G series..which is fatter than the newer designed GX lineup.

The g2c is a great gun and I love the double action trigger for dry firing not sure about the single action now

[@3wheelmannc860]

If that is dependable and continues the amazing value, it should be a home run. They could really combine the G2 & G3 lines into this new G2 updated tool set...Compact, Full, tac version, threaded barrels... solid posibilities.

[@Lakanen263]

Thank for the video.

[@BrandonsCool1]

Hello, The height difference between the p365 and this GX2 is not really fair. Your presentation of the p365 was with its extended magazine and not the flush magazine. It is considerably shorter with the flush 10 round magazine. Still looks like an interesting firearm but not close to being as small as a hellcat or p365. If the track record proves to be like the others I think this should be a decent firearm for the money though.

[@Tsunami_Hawk]

A magwell and threaded barrel would be my only ask

[@realwelder3529]

I'd need to feel it and shoot it to know for sure, but I like the look and the idea behind it. A lot of us upgraded the trigger and got rid of the restrike anyways on the G2C/G3C. The mags are probably Mec-Gar like the G3 and GX4. Seems to be nice quality of life improvements. Edit: To my surprise, they don't use Mec Gar mags and are made in Brazil instead of the US.

[@damiion666]

The original G2C mags were made in Brazil. Never an issue

[@realwelder3529]

@damiion666 that's true. I own a G2C, and it has never had a malfunction. I got it suped up with a Keep Tinkering SAO trigger and some TruGlo Tritium sights.

[@johnniehall3692]

Nice pistol, but don't understand why they didn't make it slimmer.. Like the MAX 9,etc 🤔

[@leslieshepperd9850]

It's basically exactly the same size as the G3c . Same width, almost exactly the same length. I thought it would be slimmer too , but it's not.

[@Barikade]

G3C upper with TH series safety and TX series lower. Looks good but this seems to be ending the G line of pistols so they could have made something a different. For that same price one could get a G3C with optic cut. looks good and like the trigger and magwell though. I guess stay with what works and add iterations as glock does so makes sense

[@traumajock]

My guess is that Taurus wanted to eliminate the G2C/G3C/G3 line. I also guess that they will offer a 4 inch variant of the GX2 with 15-17 round capacity, changeable backstraps and a TORO option. They could have offered all of that on the first offering with the GX2, but hey, they're keeping the price point down intentionally to replace the G2C. They could save money by going to one style of trigger/internals across the entire product line.

[@jaydee5156]

If you're familiar with the GX4 series, you'll see that the GX2 uses a very similar, if not the same chassis.

[@eliwagner4360]

Hope the mag release is better then the GX4 and it will be a buy.

[@Luthiart]

I'm sorry, but I don't get it... I have a G3C and I dont see how this is an upgrade. And why would I buy this over a GX4 Carry, other than the safety? For that matter; why do they call it the "GX4 Carry" when the original GX4 is more suitable for concealed carry? They should have called it the GX4 XL or something.

[@jaydee5156]

They already had a GX4XL. Think of the GX4 as the base. The GX4XL is a GX4 with a longer slide. The GX4 Carry is a GX4XL with a longer grip. I also have a G3C and it's a pretty good handgun. A lot of potential GX4 customers asked for a manual safety. The GX2 has it. In addition, the trigger system on the GX2 is a much more advanced design over the G3C.

[@Luthiart]

@jaydee5156 Yes, I remembered after I posted that comment that the GX4 XL already existed, but I still think it doesn't make any sense to market the largest model as a 'carry' gun. They should have reserved the XL designation for this gun and called the GX4 XL something else. I've never tried the G2C, but every review of the G3C that I've seen has said the trigger was an upgrade from the G2C. I'm not trying to argue or anything. I think triggers are a subjective issue. I'm not crazy about the amount of uptake there is on the G3C trigger, but it doesn't bother me enough to make me want to change it. My other pistol is a Ruger Security 9, and everybody complains about that trigger too, but it doesn't bother me at all.

[@jaydee5156]

@@Luthiart My "other pistol" is a fairly long list. I do have a G2C in addition to my G3C. I also have the model from which they were both developed, the Millenium G2. The G2C is essentially a G2 with no key lock system. Taurus calls it the "TSS". Triggers feel very similar between both G2 models. I do find the trigger on my G3C to be slightly improved. I'm also fairly invested in the more compact GX4 system. The GX4 trigger system is a vast improvement the other models. I would expect the GX2 trigger to have a similar feel. I'll certainly get one of those too. On the GX4 series, Taurus followed a similar naming convention to that used by Sig Sauer. Taurus has the GX4, Sig has the P365. Taurus has the GX4XL(longer slide), Sig has the P365XL(longer slide and grip). Sig also has the P365X(standard slide, but longer grip). With a similar theme, but a departure from the naming conventions, Taurus has the GX4 Carry and Sig has the similarly-sized P365-XMacro. Yes...I have those too. All of these pairings are nearly identical is size, one to another.

I wonder if they were trying to come up with California compatibility and just decided to do a fresh look for everyone. Magazine safeties and manual safeties are easier to delete in markets that don't want them, than to add to pistols that aren't originally designed for them. We'll find out soon enough.

[@quitosm4249]

Everyone keeps talking about the G2C, but that's an old pistol, G3C is newer and better. Now the GX2 looks like the replacement to the G3C not the G2C.

[@joleitch82]

What's the trigger pull like on it? Is it still spongy as hell like the G2C still??? I have a G2C .40 S&W and I honestly didn't like how the trigger felt it was too long of a pull and the reset was sometimes a hit or miss because like I said the trigger response was a spongy and sketchy feeling. So hopefully Taurus fixed that issue.

[@realwelder3529]

Just now heard of the GX2, myself. However, there's a $30 trigger upgrade that you can install in the G2, G2C, G3, and G3C that will make the trigger much better. Search for Keep Tinkering triggers. He has different sizes/shapes for different hand sizes and trigger-face preferences. They come in SA/DA and SAO, as well. I installed the SAO "Standard" trigger in my G2C, and it is really nice. Still has some take-up, but it's reduced. The wall is defined, break is crisp, and reset is short. I don't have a trigger pull guage, but I would guess it's somewhere between 4 and 4.5 pounds.

I will say this much, $300 GX2 costs more than a $200 - $250 G2c and the street price as of now is in the $330 range so they are not making it more affordable. Like others have said, many of us are already invested in the G series and don't need the GX2. This may be a mistake switching to the GX series and not to keeping the already proven G series. Time will tell.
