TAURUS G2C2

Built on a rugged polymer frame, the TAURUS G2C2 is chambered in 9mm Luger and designed with aggressive stippling ergonomically placed along the grip to ensure firearm retention and positive hand alignment for optimal accuracy. Its compact footprint (1.25″ wide x 6.25″ long x 5.0″ tall) paired with a 12-round magazine and contoured grip extension delivers a comfortable hold for both small- and large-hand shooters.

Ergonomics and controls

Ergonomics are a central selling point. The manual external safety sits above the thumb for quick manipulation in high-stress scenarios, while the reversible magazine release is positioned for rapid one-handed mag drops during tactical reloads. The striker-fire double-action trigger system includes restrike capability, offering a consistent trigger cadence and added redundancy if a round fails to fire. Two magazines are included as standard accessories.

Sights, slide, and accessory integration

The slide is precision-cut with serrations for a no-slip grip when charging the pistol and offered in either matte black carbon steel or matte stainless-steel finishes. Slide contours blend with the frame to promote a smooth, snag-free draw and re-holster. Sights consist of a fixed white dot front and a dual white dot rear with elevation and windage adjustment—ideal for fast sight acquisition and fine tuning. An integrated Mil-STD 1913 Picatinny rail accepts lights or lasers for low-light utility. View product details and pricing
