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

The Taurus GX4 delivers full-size performance in a micro-compact package, combining a 10+1 capacity with a slim profile that measures just 1.1 inches wide. This striker-fired pistol addresses the common trade-off between concealability and firepower that many compact firearms struggle to balance.

What Makes This Different

The GX4 stands apart from typical micro-compacts through its stainless steel frame construction and interchangeable backstrap system. While most competitors rely solely on polymer frames, the steel frame provides enhanced durability and improved recoil management. The DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating on the 3.06-inch barrel offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard finishes, extending service life in harsh conditions.

Key Features

• 10+1 capacity in 9mm Luger with flush-fitting magazine
• Matte stainless steel frame with black nitride serrated slide
• 3.06-inch barrel with satin black DLC coating for corrosion resistance
• Interchangeable backstrap grip system for custom fit
• Overall length of 6.06 inches, height of 4.25 inches, width of 1.1 inches
• Striker-fired action with consistent trigger pull
• Low-profile sights with white dot front sight

The GX4 demonstrates reliable cycling with standard 115-grain and 124-grain 9mm ammunition across various manufacturers. The 3.06-inch barrel length provides adequate velocity for defensive ammunition while maintaining the compact dimensions necessary for concealed carry. The serrated slide offers positive grip during press checks and malfunction clearance procedures, even with wet hands.
