The Taurus GX2 Purple Sparkle 9mm pistol is a custom-finished version of the compact, striker-fired GX2 from Taurus, built on a black polymer frame with a purple sparkle custom slide (Taurus part no. 1-GX2931-5X13 MODSP). The base GX2 it starts from is a 9mm Luger with a 13-round magazine, a 3.38-inch stainless steel barrel and both a manual safety and a trigger safety. White-dot front and drift-adjustable rear sights come standard, and an accessory rail on the frame leaves room for a light. It suits a carry gun that stands out from the usual black-on-black options.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is 9mm Luger, a widely available cartridge with plenty of carry and practice loads.
• Magazine capacity is 13 rounds, a generous load-out for a compact frame.
• The barrel measures 3.38 inches and is stainless steel, which keeps the slide short for carry.
• A manual safety sits alongside the trigger safety, giving a positive way to take the pistol out of the firing cycle.
• The frame is black polymer, and the look of this edition comes from its purple sparkle custom slide.
• Sights are a fixed white-dot front and a drift-adjustable rear, which allows windage adjustment without special tools.
• An accessory rail is built into the frame, for mounting a weapon light or laser.
