The Taurus GX2 is presented as a budget-friendly carry pistol, potentially phasing out the G3C. It features a 3.26-inch barrel, a compact grip with full-size potential, and a 13-round capacity. The GX2 incorporates aggressive front and rear cocking serrations, a single-dot front sight, and a blacked-out rear sight, possibly Glock-compatible. A notable upgrade is the three-slot Picatinny rail, offering more accessory options than previous models.

This video provides an expert overview of six newly unveiled pistols for SHOT Show 2025, including the Girsan Witness 2311 BRAT, Sig Sauer P226 X5 Reserve, Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0, Canik METE MC9L/LS, Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0C, and Taurus GX2. The instructor highlights key features, specifications, and MSRPs, offering insights into their design and intended applications for concealed carry and duty use.

The Canik TP9 Combat Elite is presented as a high-value alternative to custom Glock 19s, offering features like a Salient Arms threaded barrel, optics cut, and flat-face trigger at a significantly lower price point. While generally reliable and accurate, the reviewer notes a slightly more aggressive recoil impulse compared to a Glock 19, and personal preference may dictate the choice between the two.

This review of the Beretta APX A1 highlights significant upgrades over the original model, focusing on modernized slide serrations, improved sights (tritium front, blacked-out rear), and an optics-ready slide. The frame features enhanced grip texture and an undercut trigger guard for better control. While maintaining a similar grip angle and magazine compatibility, the A1 offers a more aesthetically pleasing and functional package, positioning it as a strong contender in the budget-friendly polymer-frame striker-fired market.
