Owners of the GX2 tend to be split along familiar Taurus lines. People who like it point to a smooth-cycling action and a trigger that feels better than the price suggests, and the stainless slide and barrel get credit for resisting rust and holster wear better than an all-black gun. A recurring complaint from skeptical buyers is a lingering wariness toward Taurus quality control, though many who actually run the GX2 report it functioning reliably once they put rounds through it.

For carry, the compact frame and bi-tone finish are popular for concealment, and the TORO slide's optics cut is called out often since it lets owners add a red dot without a separate milling job or adapter plate. Some reviewers note the factory sights sit a bit high once an optic is mounted, though the drift-adjustable rear helps with that.

On value, the GX2 T.O.R.O. is usually framed as an easy way to get an optics-ready, bi-tone compact nine without paying for a premium brand. Owners looking for a budget-friendly optics-ready carry gun tend to walk away pleased, while buyers wanting a proven, long-track-record pistol sometimes look elsewhere first.
