Taurus GX4 Micro-Compact 9mm 10+1 3.06" Barrel Black Frame

The Taurus GX4 Micro-Compact delivers full-size performance in a concealed carry package that measures just over 6 inches in overall length. This striker-fired pistol combines advanced metallurgy with precision engineering to create a reliable defensive firearm. The compact dimensions and 10+1 capacity make it an ideal choice for everyday carry without sacrificing stopping power.

What Makes This Different

The GX4 features a unique combination of premium coatings that set it apart from standard micro-compacts. The barrel receives a Satin Black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating that provides exceptional wear resistance and corrosion protection. The slide utilizes Blue PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating over serrated alloy steel, creating a distinctive appearance while enhancing durability. This dual-coating approach exceeds the protection offered by standard Cerakote or Melonite finishes found on comparable pistols.

Key Features

• 10+1 capacity in 9mm Luger with flush-fit magazine design
• 3.06-inch stainless steel barrel with DLC coating for extended service life
• Blue PVD serrated slide reduces glare and improves grip during manipulation
• Matte black stainless steel frame with integrated textured grip surfaces
• Striker-fired action with consistent trigger pull and reset
• Low-profile sights designed for snag-free concealed carry
• Ambidextrous magazine release accommodates both right and left-handed shooters

The GX4's 6.06-inch overall length and 1.2-inch width make it suitable for inside-the-waistband carry in most holster configurations. The textured frame provides secure grip retention in wet conditions or with gloved hands. The 3-dot sight system offers quick target acquisition in defensive scenarios, while the 5.5-pound trigger pull weight meets law enforcement standards for duty carry.
