“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.

Guns like the Taurus G2S are what make the second amendment available for all Americans.” – Travis Pike
