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.

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.
