The Taurus G2S is a single-action with restrike compact semi-automatic that has a slightly shorter grip than the similar G2C compact semi-automatic. The G2S striker-fired gun is available in 6+1 capacity .40 S&W or 7+1 9 mm Luger.

Key dimensions include a 1.1” width, 4.8” height, 6.3” overall length. All this cloaks a 3.2” long barrel. There’s a single-slot Mil-STD 1913 Picatinny accessory rail underneath the recoil spring housing. The gun is good looking and replete with snag-avoiding rounded corners. The back of the slide has diagonal slide serrations. Primary controls (magazine release, thumb safety and slide catch) are on the left. Actually, the magazine release is reversible, so it can be on the right too. Thanks to the polymer frame, weight is only 20 ounces.

There are 14 models. All share the same design, dimensions and safety features. Where they differ from one is by color and/or sights. Let’s cover the sights first, then the colors.

There are two three-dot sight choices. You can either get a fixed white-dot front sight and fully adjustable for elevation and windage twin white-dot rear sight on the less expensive models or Ameriglo Night Sights on the more expensive ones. In this case, the front sight has an orange surround that’s paired with a drift-adjustable rear sight with white surrounds around green dots.

The G2S models come with either a matte black or matte stainless slide. The frame can be one of several colors including purple, cyan, gray, matte black, tan, etc.

What’s particularly nice are the three safety features. These include a visual loaded chamber indicator, trigger safety and a striker block safety. The G2S also packs another interesting and unusual feature: that’s a restrike capability. Got a round that doesn’t fire? Instead of racking the gun and ejecting the round like you would on overwhelmingly most semi-automatics, just pull the trigger again. Speaking of which, trigger pull is 5 to 9 pounds.

The frame has some nice finger recesses on each side. One is above the front of the trigger guard. Taurus calls this one the Taurus Memory Pad. Another is atop the grip. The grip mixes smooth surfaces with aggressive textured zones. It’s a good look, and it functions well providing the right grip when you need it.

Each Taurus G2S comes with a pair of magazines. The lineup is Made in Brazil and imported into the US by Taurus USA located in Bainbridge, Georgia.
