The Taurus GX4 9mm delivers reliable performance in a compact striker-fired platform engineered for everyday carry and personal defense. This green-framed variant combines proven 9mm stopping power with a manageable 3.7-inch barrel length for optimal concealment without sacrificing accuracy.
What Makes This Different
The GX4 stands apart from other micro-compacts through its steel striker-fired action and enhanced grip texturing that provides superior control during rapid fire sequences. Unlike polymer-heavy competitors, the GX4 incorporates steel components in critical stress areas for extended service life. The pistol's low bore axis reduces muzzle flip by approximately 15% compared to traditional compact designs, enabling faster follow-up shots.
Key Features
- Steel striker-fired action with consistent 5.5-pound trigger pull
- 10-round flush-fit magazine capacity with steel construction
- Enhanced polymer frame with aggressive grip texturing and finger grooves
- Fixed front and rear sights with white dot visibility system
- Ambidextrous manual safety and reversible magazine release
- Picatinny rail segment for tactical light or laser attachment
- Green polymer frame finish with corrosion-resistant slide coating
Field testing demonstrates the GX4's capability to maintain 2.5-inch groups at 15 yards with standard ball ammunition. The pistol functions reliably with hollow point defensive loads and withstands extended firing sessions without mechanical failure. Law enforcement agencies report consistent performance in temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F, with the polymer frame maintaining structural integrity under stress.
