The Taurus GX2 proves that “inexpensive” doesn’t have to mean “cheap.” We put 425 rounds through this sub-$350 concealed carry pistol to see if it lives up to its value-driven promise. With a 13+1 capacity, surprisingly good trigger, well-textured grip frame, and a footprint that splits the difference between compact and subcompact, the GX2 punches above its price point. Find out how it handled at the range, where it stumbled, and why this budget-friendly 9mm deserves serious consideration in today’s pricey gun market.
