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 premium materials with practical engineering to create a reliable everyday carry option. The distinctive gold PVD slide coating provides both corrosion resistance and visual appeal while maintaining the tactical functionality expected from modern micro-compacts.
What Makes This Different
The GX4 stands apart from standard micro-compacts through its stainless steel construction and premium surface treatments. While most competitors use polymer frames exclusively, this model features a matte black stainless steel frame that provides enhanced durability and weight distribution. The gold PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating on the serrated alloy steel slide offers superior wear resistance compared to standard finishes, maintaining its appearance through thousands of rounds.
Key Features

- Gold PVD serrated alloy steel slide with enhanced grip serrations

The GX4's 6.06-inch overall length and 4.06-inch height make it suitable for appendix carry, inside-the-waistband holsters, and compact duty applications. The textured grip surface maintains control during rapid fire sequences while the balanced weight distribution reduces muzzle flip. Law enforcement officers and concealed carry permit holders report consistent accuracy at defensive distances with various 9mm ammunition weights.
