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

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
