Editor’s Note: "The Taurus G2S isn’t innovative or new. It doesn’t offer anything a dozen other pistols don’t offer. What it does do is remain accurate, lightweight, relatively reliable, and easy to use, all at sub-$200. When you don’t have a lot of extra cash on hand and don’t live in the best area of town — a really cheap, reliable, safe, concealable handgun might be the thing you’ve been waiting for. Guns like the Taurus G2S are what make the second amendment available for <strong>all Americans</strong>." - Travis Pike

By The Numbers

Accuracy
It is carry gun accurate or minute-of-bad-guy and that’ll get you by for both home defense and concealed carry. Don’t expect Glock 40 range or accuracy, but it’ll get you where you need to go.
Reliability
Two failures to eject, and the magazine issue on top of the sight being loose knocks a couple of points off here. It seems to run fine now, but we’ll see.
Customization
You can add Talon grips, new sights, and a light or laser, and you can customize the insides with parts from Galloway precision and Lakeline LLC.
Ergonomics
I like how the gun is laid out, how it feels in my hand and how it handles. The downside is I have some pink scare tissue on the web of my hand from slide bite.

FINAL VERDICT

"A $180 gun is a $180 gun. It runs well enough and looks and feels good in the hand. So for the price…it delivers a lot. Plus, the magazines are fairly cheap also. That’s a huge plus. If you need something for protection but don't have a lot of cash to spend, go with the G2S. You won't be disappointed." - Travis Pike
