Taurus G2S Light Purple 9mm Pistol 3.2 in. 7+1 Single Stack – Superb Slim Carry Choice

Description

The Taurus G2S Light Purple pairs a lilac polymer frame with a matte black slide, on the single-stack 9mm that Taurus built for people who found double-stack subcompacts too thick to hide. Seven rounds, a 3.2-inch barrel and a frame just 1.10 inches across.

The Taurus G2S Light Purple weighs twenty ounces, with an adjustable rear sight, a manual thumb safety and restrike capability. The colour is moulded through the polymer rather than sprayed on, so it will not chip or wear off the way a coated frame does.

What the Taurus G2S Light Purple offers

• The Taurus G2S Light Purple has a 1.10-inch frame width, which is what actually determines whether a pistol prints through a shirt
• 7+1 capacity in 9mm Luger from a single-stack magazine
• 3.2-inch barrel, 6.30 inches overall and 4.80 inches high, at 20 ounces
• Light purple polymer frame with the colour moulded through rather than applied as a coating
• Adjustable rear sight, which is rare on a budget carry pistol and genuinely useful
• Three safeties: a striker block, a trigger safety and a manual thumb safety
• Restrike capability, so a round that did not fire gets a second strike rather than a slide rack

Why a slim single stack still makes sense

• Width is what gives a concealed pistol away. Shaving an eighth of an inch matters more than shaving an inch of length
• The narrow grip also suits smaller hands, which a double-stack frame often does not
• Seven rounds is fewer than a modern micro-compact holds, and the Taurus G2S Light Purple is flatter than any of them
• The colour is a genuine advantage in a shared household: an obviously distinct gun is harder to pick up by mistake
• No accessory rail on this model, which is consistent with the slim profile
• This model has been discontinued, so what is on the shelf is what remains. Magazines and parts are still widely available

9mm Luger is the most widely produced handgun cartridge in the world and one of the most tightly standardised, with chamber and pressure specifications published by SAAMI. In a slim single-stack the magazine geometry is tighter than in a double-stack, so it is worth running a box of your chosen defensive load through the gun rather than assuming it will feed.

One point on the finish, because it is a real advantage rather than a marketing line. The purple is pigment in the polymer, not paint over it. Scratch a coated frame and you see black plastic underneath; scratch this one and the colour goes all the way through. On a gun that will spend its life in a holster, that is the difference between looking used and looking damaged.

Why this pistol earns its place

• A genuinely slim frame, which is the single biggest factor in concealment
• An adjustable rear sight at a price where fixed sights are normal
• Moulded-through colour on the Taurus G2S Light Purple, so it wears rather than chips
• A manual safety as well as the internal ones, which many first-time owners want
• Two magazines and restrike capability
• Light enough at twenty ounces to be carried rather than left at home

Anyone who has found a double-stack too thick or too large in the hand, first-time carriers, and households where an obviously distinct pistol is useful. The Taurus G2S Light Purple is a plain, practical carry gun that happens not to be black.

If you want the same pistol in a more subdued colour, the tan-framed G2S is the alternative. For more capacity in a similar footprint, the GX4 Micro holds eleven and the GX4 XL holds thirteen.

For a full-size home-defence pistol at a similar price, the Taurus G3 holds seventeen. And in colour with a rail, the dark purple GX2 is the current-production option.

Every Taurus G2S ships with the factory case, magazines, the manual and a lock. Transfers go to your FFL and our end of the paperwork is done the same day.
