The Taurus GX4 delivers micro-compact concealed carry performance with an 11+1 capacity in a frame smaller than most subcompacts. This striker-fired pistol combines the reliability of full-size engineering with the concealability demanded by everyday carry professionals.
What Makes This Different
The GX4's stainless steel frame construction provides superior durability compared to polymer alternatives while maintaining a lightweight 18.75-ounce carry weight. The tan Cerakote finish on the serrated slide offers enhanced corrosion resistance and reduced glare, while the 3.06-inch barrel delivers full-power 9mm performance. Unlike many micro-compacts that sacrifice shootability for size, the GX4 maintains a full grip and consistent trigger pull.
