Taurus Pistols
Taurus produces a comprehensive semi-automatic pistol lineup that spans from the affordable G2C to the optics-ready G3 TORO and the competition-focused TX22 Competition — all backed by Taurus’s transferable lifetime warranty. For buyers who want reliable, American-market 9mm pistols at accessible prices without sacrificing the warranty protection that premium brands don’t offer, Taurus’s pistol lineup delivers more configurations and more value than any competitor at the same price tier.

G-Series: The Core 9mm Lineup
Taurus’s G-series covers the 9mm carry and service pistol market at value pricing. The G2C is the entry-level compact — a 3.26” barrel, 12-round magazine, and Taurus’s proven reliability at the lowest price in the lineup. The G3C upgrades the G2C with improved ergonomics, a better trigger, and an optics-ready option. The G3 is the full-size service configuration with a 4” barrel and 17-round magazine, including the TORO factory optic package with Viridian RFX11. For carry buyers: G3C. For home defense and range buyers who want maximum capacity: G3.
GX4 Series: Micro-Compact Carry
The Taurus GX4 is Taurus’s micro-compact entry — a 3” barrel, 11-round flush magazine, and 13-round extended magazine in a package that competes directly with the Sig P365 and Springfield Hellcat. The GX4 TORO adds an optics-ready slide for direct red dot mounting. The GX4 XL extends the barrel to 3.7” for improved velocity and sight radius. For micro-compact carry buyers who want Taurus quality and the lifetime warranty in the most compact available format, the GX4 series is the correct choice.
TX22: The .22 LR Competition Platform
The Taurus TX22 is a dedicated .22 LR semi-automatic with a 16-round double-stack magazine — the highest-capacity production .22 LR pistol available. The TX22 Competition SCR adds an integrated compensator for even flatter shooting. For competitive shooters who run Steel Challenge, rimfire competitions, or high-volume training at .22 LR prices, the TX22’s capacity advantage and competition-oriented configuration make it one of the most popular .22 LR pistols at any price point. Compare with the Glock 44 as the Glock-ecosystem .22 LR alternative.
Lifetime Transferable Warranty: What Sets Taurus Apart
Every Taurus pistol ships with a lifetime warranty that transfers to any subsequent owner. This is the most buyer-friendly warranty in the market — not limited to the original owner, not time-restricted, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the firearm under any ownership. For buyers comparing Taurus to Glock or S&W at similar price points, the lifetime transferable warranty is a meaningful differentiation that reflects Taurus’s confidence in their production quality.
