The modern concealed-carry and home-defense shooter needs a reliable, controllable pistol that balances size, capacity and features for everyday carry and tactical use. Built to be straightforward under stress, this compact 9mm offers the ergonomics and accessory options that make fast, accurate shooting practical for a wide range of users.

TAURUS G2C2 is chambered in 9mm Luger and brings together a rugged polymer frame with aggressive stippling ergonomically placed along the grip to ensure firearm retention and maintain positive hand alignment for optimal accuracy. The compact profile (1.25″ wide x 6.25″ long x 5.0″ tall) pairs with 12-round magazines and a contoured grip extension to deliver a secure hold for both small- and large-hand shooters.

Key Features and Controls

The G2C2 uses a striker-fired double-action trigger system with restrike capability, giving consistent trigger response and an option to re-strike without cycling the slide. A manual external safety is positioned above the thumb for quick manipulation when needed. The reversible magazine release is ergonomically placed for rapid one-hand mag drops during tactical reloads. Included accessories are two magazines and the pistol ships in a STAINLESS/LIGHT PURPLE finish option.

Sight Picture and Slide Work

Precision-cut slide serrations provide a no-slip grip when charging the pistol. The slide is offered in matte black carbon steel or matte stainless-steel; its contours blend with the frame to promote a smooth, snag-free draw and re-holster. Topping the slide are fixed white dot front and dual white dot rear sights with elevation and windage adjustment—helpful for students of marksmanship dialing in a usable, repeatable sight picture.

Why 9mm Luger Works Here

9mm Luger remains the go-to defensive caliber for its balance of terminal performance, controllable recoil and broad ammunition availability. In a compact package like the G2C2, 12-round capacity magazines provide meaningful defensive capacity without sacrificing concealability. The integrated Mil-STD 1913 Picatinny rail accepts tactical lights or lasers to extend capability in low-light scenarios.

At a price point of $300.99, this Semi Auto from Taurus delivers feature-rich ergonomics—aggressive stippling, Picatinny rail, manual safety and adjustable sights—at an accessible cost. View product details and pricing here.
