The Taurus GX4 delivers reliable performance in a compact striker-fired platform engineered for concealed carry and duty applications. This 9mm Luger pistol combines a lightweight polymer frame with advanced metallurgy to create a dependable sidearm that maintains accuracy across extended shooting sessions.
What Makes This Different
The GX4 features Taurus's Memory Pads with aggressive stippling that provides consistent grip texture without excessive abrasiveness. The midnight bronze Cerakote finish on the serrated slide offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing or parkerizing. The DLC-coated steel barrel extends service life while maintaining precision through thousands of rounds.
